UV2493 Version 1.5 DIAMOND CHEMICALS PLC (A): THE MERSEYSIDE PROJECT Late one afternoon in January 2001‚ Frank Greystock told Lucy Morris‚ “No one seems satisfied with the analysis so far‚ but the suggested changes could kill the project. If solid projects like this can’t swim past the corporate piranhas‚ the company will never modernize.” Morris was plant manager of Diamond Chemicals’ Merseyside Works in Liverpool‚ England. Her controller‚ Frank Greystock‚ was discussing a capital project that

equation is the principle of the conservation of mass when applied to a dynamic system. The unit of this equation is mass per time. In overall balance‚ only one TCE can be written. CCE is based on component balance. Unlike mass‚ chemical components are not conserved. If reactions occur on a system‚ the number of moles of an individual component will increase if it is a product and will decrease if it is a reactant. The unit of CCE is moles of component per unit time. While EE‚ the first law of thermodynamics

Examination of Water and Wastewater 5210 BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD)*#(1) 5220 CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (COD)*#(2) 5220 A. Introduction Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is defined as the amount of a specified oxidant that reacts with the sample under controlled conditions. The quantity of oxidant consumed is expressed in terms of its oxygen equivalence. Because of its unique chemical properties‚ the dichromate ion (Cr2O72–) is the specified oxidant in Methods Section 5220B‚ Section

Observation of Chemical Reactions Objective: This experiment is meant to show how certain chemicals react with each other and can be identified by these reactions Procedure: Several different chemical mixtures were poured into the well plate and observed. These included sodium bicarbonate and hydrochloric acid‚ bromothymol blue and hydrochloric acid‚ ammonia and bromothymol blue‚ hydrochloric acid and blue dye‚ blue dye and sodium hypochlorite‚ potassium iodide and lead nitrate‚ sodium hydroxide

CHM1022 Tutorial 2 – Semester 2‚ 2012 (Chemical Equilibria) 1. The reaction 2 HCl(g) +I2(s) [pic] 2 HI (g) + Cl2(g) has Kc = 1.0 x 10-34 at 25˚C. If a 1.00 L reaction vessel initially contains 0.100 mol of each HCl and solid I2‚ what are the concentrations of HI and Cl2 at equilibrium? 2. Consider the following gas-phase reaction and equilibrium constant at 25 oC: 4 HCl(g) + O2(g) [pic] 2 Cl2(g) + 2 H2O(g) The concentrations of all species were measured at a particular

Chemical equilibrium is the point at which the concentrations of reactants and products do not change with time. It would appear as if the reaction has stopped‚ but in fact‚ the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal‚ causing the reactants and products to be created at the same rate. This can be expressed mathematically in the form of the equilibrium constant. The following is the general equation for a reversible chemical reaction: aA+bB →cC+dD

Chemical changes are irreversible because substances mix and cause a reaction which creates a new substance. Chemical changes can be caused when a substance is combined with a heat‚ water or another substance. Heat can cause a chemical reaction called caramelisation which is when sugar is heated at a high temperature causing it to break down. This gives the sugar a nutty
