CHEMICAL WEATHERING Chemical weathering is a process of alteration of rocks of the Earth’s crust. is a chemical decomposition process. is brought out by atmospheric gases and moisture. End product has a different chemical composition and poorer physical constitution. The process: Chemical change in the nature of rock takes place in the presence of moisture containing many active gases such as CO2‚ N2‚ H2‚ and O2. Rocks are made up of minerals. All the minerals in a rock are not in

Chemical reactions involve the making and breaking of bonds. It is essential that we know what bonds are before we can understand any chemical reaction. To understand bonds‚ we will first describe several of their properties. The bond strength tells us how hard it is to break a bond. Bond lengths give us valuable structural information about the positions of the atomic nuclei. Bond dipoles inform us about the electron distribution around the two bonded atoms. From bond dipoles we may derive electronegativity

A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms that allows the formation of chemical substances that contain two or more atoms. The bond is caused by the electromagnetic force attraction between opposite charges‚ either between electrons and nuclei‚ or as the result of a dipole attraction. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" such as covalent or ionic bonds and "weak bonds" such as dipole-dipole interactions‚ the London dispersion force and hydrogen bonding

Late one afternoon Morris Plant Manager of Diamond Chemicals Merseyside was discussing a capital project with her controller that Morris wanted to propose to senior management. The project consisted of a 9 million pounds expenditure to renovate and rationalize the polypropylene production line at the Merseyside plant in order to make up for the deferred maintenance and to exploit opportunities to achieve production efficiency. The proposed Capital Program Morris had assumed responsibility for the

Chemical kinetics‚ also known as reaction kinetics‚ is the study of rates of chemical processes. Chemical kinetics includes investigations of how different experimental conditions can influence the speed of a chemical reaction and yield information about the reaction’s mechanism and transition states‚ as well as the construction of mathematical models that can describe the characteristics of a chemical reaction. In 1864‚ Peter Waage and Cato Guldberg pioneered the development of chemical kinetics

this problem. Firstly the causes of this problem is the attitude of human. The human attitude nowadays really disappointing. They do not have the love feeling to the nature and throw garbage or any chemical substances anywhere including the river‚ the sea and any water sources. So this chemical substance will harm the water and we as the user will use the water without notice that we use the contaminated water. Slowly or in the long term our body will be affected. Besides that. the excessive used

CASE STUDY 1: ZYCHOL CHEMICALS CORPORATION I. Problem(s): With all of the information gathered‚ has productivity increased at all? Should the accounting practices be further investigated? II. When I started the single-factor productivity analysis it looked as if productivity were headed in the right direction ’’ up. Because the outcomes of both the units per RMU and units per labor hours had an increase‚ 3.59% and 4.79% respectively. Even with the increase in cost per barrel from
