Chemical Weapons Chemical weapons use the toxic properties of chemical substances rather than their explosive properties to produce physical or physiological effects on an enemy. Although instances of what might be styled as chemical weapons date to antiquity‚ much of the lore of chemical weapons as viewed today has its origins in World War I. During that conflict "gas" (actually an aerosol or vapor) was used effectively on numerous occasions by both sides to alter the outcome of battles. A significant

Three things are usually required for a chemical explosion: a chemical reaction that occurs very rapidly‚ a large increase in gas pressure‚ and a confined-reaction vessel in which the pressure of the gaseous products can increase to a point that the gases break violently out of the container. In this chemistry and physics science fair project‚ you will use the combustion of ethanol to provide energy for a small explosion. The chemical equation that describes the combustion of ethanol is shown below

Chemical Periodicity Engr. Imelda Galera De La Salle University-Dasmariñas Dasmariñas‚ Cavite Philippines ABSTRACT Chemical periodicity was demonstrated using different samples of elements from Group IA‚ IIA and IVA. These samples are: Li2CO3‚ Na2CO3‚ K2CO3‚ MgCO3‚ CaCO3‚ BaCO3‚ Carbon‚ Tin‚ Silicon and Lead. Each sample was placed in a test tube‚ (one sample and one test tube) and the physical color‚ appearance and state was defined. Water was used to test the solubility of the element

an object. An example of a physical property of an object would be the color‚ mass‚ solubility‚ volume‚ or the polarity of an object. A physical property can change the appearance of an object‚ but that does not mean that the chemical composition has to change. The chemical composition can remain the same. Physical properties are separated into two different categories. They are separated in to intrinsic properties and extrinsic properties. Extrinsic properties rely on the amount of material

1. Victoria Chemicals evaluate its capital-expenditure proposals in four ways. They are average annual addition to earnings per share‚ payback period‚ net present value‚ and internal rate of return. An earnings per share method is to indicate a company’s profitability. For Victoria Chemical‚ this was calculated with the average annual earnings per share contribution of the engineering-efficiency project over its entire economic life. However‚ for the basis of the calculation‚ the project’s initiator

Chemical Bonds Chemical Bond: is the force that holds atoms together in a compound. They form because they lower the potential energy of the charged particles that compose atoms. Chemical bonds can be broadly classified into two types: Ionic and Covalent. Ionic: metal & nonmetal Metals have a tendency to lose electrons and nonmetals have a tendency to gain them. The metal atom becomes a cation and a nonmetal becomes an anion. The oppositely charged ions attract one another and form an ionic

Harmful Chemicals in our Environment Over the past century humans have introduced a large number of chemical substances into the environment. Some are the waste from industrial and agricultural processes. Some have been designed as structural materials and others have been designed to perform various functions such as healing the sick or killing pests and weeds. Obviously some chemicals are useful but many are toxic and their harm to the environment and our health far outweighs their benefit to
