concerns the fact that sulfur holds much blame for the nasty occurrence. In fact, this mother of repulsive odors earns its spot on the periodic table as one of the world's 118 chemical elements, or substances that contain only one type of atom. Much like any other non-metal, it does not retain the typical physical and chemical properties of metals, such as luster. The tenth most abundant element in the universe, sulfur additionally sports a multitude of unique characteristics- some even…
of these substances has the properties it does is a subject called chemistry.” Chemistry involves many things, from atoms to elements and their functions. It is a wide field of science with an extensive early and modern history. It also involves chemical reactions, and what they are. Chemistry consists of many complex processes and objects. Some of the most important parts of chemistry are atoms, elements, and properties. Atoms are the particles that make up everything, from a chair…
The solubility rules were used to determine which reactant was aqueous and which one was a solid. The solid is the precipitate formed in the reaction. The formation of the precipitate indicates that a chemical reaction occurred. If no precipitate formed the reaction would be labeled with DNR, which stands for does not react. The solubility rules states which elements are soluble or insoluble, including the exceptions for each rule. For example at station…
Chemical contamination refers to the contamination of the environment with chemical substances, there are many chemical contaminants, and some of them are volatile found in our environment. Benzene is one of them, it evaporates rapidly, it smells sweet, flammable, colorless liquid, it presents in gasoline, crude oil, and cigarette smoke. Benzene is one of the chemical contaminant which used in manufacturing many products like plastics, synthetic fibers and resin. Also, it is used to solve waxes,…
A glow stick is a small plastic tube with chemicals inside it. When When you snap a glow stick and hear it crack it gives off a temporary glow. As you snap the glow stick and hear it crack. Chemicals inside the glow sticks starts to mix together. This is a process call chemiluminescence. Chemiluminescence is a process where light is produced by a chemical reaction. Instead of using an electrical source. An example of this would be if go outside during a fall night and see a firefly glowing…
Comparison of Organometallic Compounds of Transition Metals and Main Group Elements Organometallic Compounds: The compounds which contain at least one direct metal to carbon covalent bond are known as organometallic compounds many of these are thermodynamically unstable and are pyrophoric. The meta may belongs to main group, transition metal, f group metal or a metalloid i.e. selenium, boron, arsenic, silicon, antimony, germanium, and tellurium and the carbon moiety may be alkyl, alkene, alkyne,…
a flame turns when burning a chemical compound depends on the metal ions the compound’s elements contain. What causes color to be shown is the excitement of electrons in an atom when heated, which makes them jump to a higher energy level. As the electrons begin to return to their original energy level, energy is released as light, coloring the flame (“Flame Tests”, 2005). And as energy increases, frequency increases, but wavelength decreases. The color each chemical turns the flame depends on…
This is shown in the balanced chemical equation by the products of water and the solid copper chloride. The observation of the liquid turning clear represents the water and seeing the particles represents the precipitate. The yield of copper chloride is 1.49 grams. This demonstrates the…
certain chemical reactions to take place much quicker than reactions would occur on their own. Enzymes function as catalyst, which means they speed up reactions by providing an alternative reaction pathway of lower activation energy (cite). Each step of a pathway typically requires a specific enzyme, without the specific enzyme, the pathway can not be completed. In addition, enzymes do not undergo permanent reactions and remain unchanged by the end of the reaction. Enzymes catalyze chemical…
excited by electrical discharge Xenon will emit a blue Now that all the basic facts and physical properties of Xenon have been introduced and explained, we will begin to describe its chemical properties. “Xenon is not considered to be toxic but…
