Zinc oxide in a mixture with a about 0.5% iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) is called calamine and is used in calamine lotion. There are also two minerals‚ smithsonite and hemimorphite‚ which have been called calamine historically (see: calamine (mineral). Zinc peroxide‚ ZnO2 .½ H2O‚ is a white to yellow powder that is used in antiseptic ointments. Zinc white is used as a pigment in paints and is more opaque than lithopone‚ but less opaque than titanium dioxide. It is also used in coatings for paper

However‚ certain bacteria‚ the actinomycetes‚ produce antibiotics such as streptomycin and nocardicin; others live symbiotically in the guts of animals (including humans) or elsewhere in their bodies‚ or on the roots of certain plants‚ converting nitrogen into a usable form. Bacteria put the tang in yogurt and the sour in sourdough bread; bacteria help to break down dead organic matter; bacteria make up the base of the food web in many environments. Bacteria are of such immense importance because

Chaney Mineralogy Spring 2013 Amanda Patterson Mineral Commodity Sulfur Sulfur is a nonmetallic element that was founded in 1777 by Antoine Lavoisier. The element falls in the sixteenth group of the periodic table. Sulfur’s symbol is S and it’s atomic weight is 32.064 grams. Sulfur is derived from Sanskrit Sulrive and the Latin word Sulphurium. Sulfur is a yellow nonmetallic element that has no odor and no taste. Sulfur is a critical raw element that industrial nations use for certain processes

Liquid Nitrogen Liquid nitrogen is nitrogen in a liquid state at a very low temperature. Its chemical formula is N2. Manufacturing of Liquid Nitrogen Liquid nitrogen is made by cooling and compressing air straight from the atmosphere. The type used to produce large amounts of liquid nitrogen looks vastly different but really happens is that air squashed and cooled . When you squash it‚ air molecules are forced closer together. If you also cool it down the molecules can slow down enough to

Aim: to perform a firsthand investigation to compare the physical and chemical properties of magnesium and oxygen when they are experimented to form magnesium oxide Theory: The empirical formula of a compound is the formula that tells us the ratio in which the atoms are present in the compound. To calculate an empirical formula: - Write down the masses of all of the elements present - Convert masses to moles (by dividing by atomic weights in grams) - Divide through by the smallest number of

Fixing the Global Nitrogen Problem The primary issue of the nitrogen problem is to inform people how nitrogen effects the environment negatively. All living things need nitrogen and approximately 78 percent of the atmosphere contains nitrogen. However‚ nitrogen is the non-reactive gas that is known as inert‚ and can commonly be fixed with nitrogen fixation. Nitrogen fixation refers to the natural process by breaking the triple bond between two pairs of nitrogen atoms through a tiny group

FACTORS AFFECTING SULFUR MINERALIZATION Sulfur content of organic matter Mineralization of sulfur depends on the sulfur content of the decomposing material in much the same way that nitrogen mineralization depends on the nitrogen content. Smaller amounts of S042- are liberated from low sulfur containing residue‚ which is similar to nitrogen mineralization. At or below a C/S ratio of approximately 200/1 only mineralization of sulfur occurs. Source of mineralizable sulfur Because of the contribution
