Hydrogen as an Alternative Fuel What is Hydrogen? The simplest and lightest fuel is hydrogen gas (H2). Hydrogen is in a gaseous state at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperatures. Hydrogen is being explored for use in combustion engines and fuel cell electric vehicles. On a volumetric basis, the energy density of hydrogen is very low under ambient conditions. This presents greater transportation and storage hurdles than for liquid fuels. Storage systems being developed include compressed
monatomic molecules, and is the lightest of all gases except hydrogen. Helium solidifies at -272.2° C; helium boils at -268.9° C. The atomic weight of helium is 4.0026. Helium, like the other noble gases, is chemically inert. Its single electron shell is filled, making possible reactions with other elements extremely difficult and the resulting compounds quite unstable. Molecules of compounds with neon, another noble gas, and with hydrogen have been detected. Helium is the most difficult of all gases
Essential Chemistry Written Report Introduction The Boiling Point can be defined as the temperature at which a substance bubbles, and converts from a liquid form to a gaseous form, it is the temperature at which the vapour pressure from the liquid is equal to that of the atmospheric pressure (eds. Hanks & Potter 1971). Molecular structure is the location of atoms, groups or ions relative to one another within a molecule, as well as the number and location of chemical bonds in the molecule as well
What kinds of liquids expand the most in the process of freezing? What kinds of liquid expand the most in the process of freezing? Experiments like this can not be done without freezing. Freezing point & temperature can very much differ. The main part about density, is about how firm it really is. But without water or any type of liquid, molecules could not manage being apart of an element. Liquids also are important because they have a vast amount of energy in every element. Research strongly encouraged
temperature at which liquids boil and turn into a vapour. An example of boiling point would be 79◦C. There are four types of intermolecular forces that are hydrogen bonding, ionic bonding, van der Waals: dipole-dipole interactions, and van der Waals: dispersion interactions. Alcohols have a high melting point and boiling point than similar size alkane molecules. This is due to the fact that alcohols are bonded by hydrogen bonds and alkanes are bonded with dispersion forces. The hydrogen bonds are stronger
compared to the other substances, and hence this shows that sodium chloride is probably an ionic bond. Sucrose achieved a reading of 0, which concludes that this most probably is a covalent bond, and further tests would confirm this conclusion. Sodium hydrogen carbonate was only able to conduct 20mA of electricity, but it is still a ionic bond, this is because covalent bonds are not able to conduct electricity at all. In a similar way to sucrose, glycerin also had a ammeter reading of 0 mA, and hence telling
household products (vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol, and even water), density columns present different layers through the masses of each liquid. These columns can contain as many products the experimenter desires. The liquids chosen that have a higher density tend to weigh more, unlike those that weigh less and float to the top if poured into the column. Along with the liquids chosen objects can be placed into the column, and then we would be able to see how each layer has an effect on the objects. For my
different amounts of chlorine and fluorine are combined with methane, which is a combination of carbon and hydrogen. These two CFCs were eventually manufactured by E.I. du Pont de Nemours and company, and, under the trade name “freon,” constituted 15% of the market for refrigerator gases. CFCs were the perfect answer for cooling refrigerators and air conditioners. They were easily turned into liquid at room temperature with application of just a small amount of pressure, and they could easily then be
and two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom (or the apex of the water molecule) bears a slight electronegative charge while hydrogen possesses a more positive one. Because opposite charges attract, the water molecules are drawn together. When an oxygen atom is linked to a neighboring molecule's hydrogen atom, a bond called a hydrogen bond is formed. In an ice crystal the hydrogen bonds to give the shape of the crystal so that the grid of molecules surrounds relatively to large spaces. In a liquid form,
many skin care products available like sun care, moisturization, anti-aging etc. Emulsions are formed by mixing two immiscible liquids by applying an external force. Normally there are two types of emulsions i.e. oil-in- water emulsions (o/w) and water-in-oil emulsions. The liquid with higher amount is the continuous phase while the liquid with smaller amount or the liquid which disperses out in the continuous phase is the dispersed phase. In our case, water is the continuous phase while oil is the
Introduction Emulsion is a mixture of two liquids that is not naturally mix together which one of the liquids being dispersed as small spherical droplets. There are two types of emulsion which is oil-in-water and water-in-oil. Oil-in-water emulsion is the dispersed oil droplets in an aqueous phase of a system. For example, milk dressing and mayonnaise. In contrast, water-in-oil emulsion is the dispersed of water droplet in an oil phase of a system. For example, margarine and butter. The substance
The membrane contactors can be used in different components of the absorption refrigeration systems such as absorber, desorber, solution heat exchanger etc. In this section absorption refrigeration cycle configurations of the investigations reviewed in the present work are discussed. The principle of operation and the use of membrane contactors in the desorber of absorption refrigeration systems can alter the configuration of the cycle. However, the use of membrane contactors in the absorber has
of matter: solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. There are other states of matter such as Bose-Einstein condesates and neutron degenerate matter, but those states can only be found under extreme conditions. These phases can go from one to another when affected by certain things, which is known as phase changes. To switch from a solid to a liquid, the solid must melt. On the other hand, to switch from a liquid to a solid, freezing must occur. Furthermore, to switch from a liquid to a gas, a process

case of adsorption or solid/liquid chromatography or planar chromatography. In planar chromatography, the stationary phase is applied on a flat surface and movement of mobile phase is due to the capillary action. The stationary phase is normally a polar absorbent and the mobile phase can be a single solvent or combination of solvents. Adsorption is a concentration dependent process and adsorption coefficient is not constant, in contrast to partition coefficient (liquid/liquid chromatography). Hence,
and hydrogen molecules, when bonded, they form a crystalline structure called ice (worldofchemicals.com). During the change of water from a liquid to a solid, water molecules move slow so they can’t leave the intermolecular attraction between water molecules. Ion-dipole forces occur between water molecules and a sodium ion. The slightly negative charge of oxygen in water is attracted to the positive charge of the sodium ion (courses.lumenlearning.com). During the change of water from a liquid to
Analysis and Evaluation of Neutralisation An example of neutralisation is this: [IMAGE]Acid or Alkali + Base Salt + Water + Hydrogen This investigation will investigate the reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide where these two liquid compounds neutralise each other. We will be monitoring the temperature of the liquids as more of the hydrochloric acid (HCL) is added.

completely dissolved and you are left with a green/blue liquid. Then add 30mL of 3M NaOH and heat the solution on a ring stand with a Bunsen burner. The blue/green jelly will turn in to sort of a black dirt at the bottom of the beaker, make sure to stop boiling when the jelly turns black. Decant all excess liquid in the beaker. Do not remove any black precipitate. Add approximately 200mL of hot deionized water to the black precipitate. Decant all excess liquid again. Add 15mL of 6M H2SO4 and then under ¡§the
This experiment sought to utilize melting point, boiling point, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and the index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD) to identify the structures of two unknown compounds. To ensure the successful identification of the unknowns, the molecular formula for each compound was found first. What the molecular formula does is that it allows chemists to identify elements present in a compound as well as the quantity of each element. The issue with this is that there are various compounds
Introduction: A balanced chemical equation has reactants and product that has to represent a formulae. The amount of each element, number needs to be the same on either side of the equation. (E.g., HCl(aq)+NaHCO3(s) reacts to produce NaCl(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g)). This helps us view the study of the Law of Conservation of Mass, and how it works in this equation. The calculation for formula, mass helps us to determine if you need to convert grams to a particular substance to moles, from a product. Moles
