Calcium Carbide Calcium Carbide is a chemical compound containing calcium and carbide‚ with a chemical formula of CaC2. Pure Calcium Carbide is colorless‚ but some are black or grayish-white color‚ depending on the quality. Calcium Carbide is mostly used for the production of the flammable gas acetylene‚ which is similar to the natural hormone created my plants Ethylene. Ethylene is a hormone that is used by plants to ripen fruits. In Bangladesh and some parts of South-East Asia‚ Calcium Carbide

Calcium is one of the most abundant element in the earth’s crust at number 5. Calcium has a very high chemical reactivity so it is never found as an uncombined state in nature. It is a silvery-white metal and it is in the alkaline earth family. Calcium is needed for blood clotting and controlling cell responses in nerves and muscles.Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in the human body is in our bones and teeth. Bone tissues are renewing themselves constantly and to do that they have to build new

first discovered in England during the year 1808 by Sir Humphry Davy. He was able to separate calcium into a pure metal by doing an electrolysis process on a mixture of lime HgO‚ which is mercuric oxide. However‚ Sir Humphry Davy was not able to do this until after he found out Berzelius and Pontin electrolysed lime into mercury which constructed calcium amalgam. Although he discovered calcium in 1808‚ calcium metal was not available in large amounts until the beginning of the twentieth century. Before

Acid Base And Salt Acid Acids:- The word ‘Acid’ came from Latin word ‘Acidus or Acere’ which means sour. Sour taste is the most common characteristic of acid. Acid turns blue litmus paper red. There are many substances which contain acid and hence taste sour‚ such as curd‚ tamarind‚ lemon‚ etc. Types of Acids:- Acids are divided into two types on the basis of their occurrence – Natural acids and Mineral acids. Natural Acid:- Acids which are obtained from natural sources are called natural

The solubility of calcium hydroxide Aim: to find out the solubility of a substance that only partially dissolves in water. Method: place about 100cm3 of distilled water in a flask and add about one spatula of solid calcium hydroxide. Stopper the flask and shake well for one minute. Leave to stand for at least 24 hours. Titrate 10cm3 samples against 0.05 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid solution using methyl orange as an indicator. Obtain enough results to calculate an accurate average‚ and then

Objective: The purpose of this lab is to determine how well gravimetric method measures the calcium level in a solution of known calcium concentration. II. Method: a) Overview: In this lab we will prepare 25 mL known concentration Calcium solutions. Then we will use Gravimetric method to determine the concentration of Calcium in each solution to figure out how well this method is. As we know

by everyday pollution from houses‚ factories‚ cars‚ and etc. This is the concept of acid rain‚ which according to EPA.gov is a broad term referring to a mixture of wet and dry deposition from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. Acid rain isn’t just rain‚ its forms like hail or snow‚ which is wet deposition‚ and smoke or dust‚ which is dry deposition. The effects of acid rain are quite terrifying bringing all types of problems to the Earth‚ for example

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION Calcium is the largest mineral in the human body‚ where it plays an important role in absorption and the releasing of calcium in the body is through the intestinal and kidney. The calcium in the body is controlled by hormones and vitamins (Takano et al). The three major components that involve in the controller the calcium is parathyroid hormone (PTH)‚ calcitonin and Vitamin D. The consistent the calcium in the body from despite variation in-take and excretion
