Hydrogen cyanide

water splitting reaction using semiconductor electrode reported by Fujishima et al. in 1972 [1], there is increasing interest in the development of metal oxide photocatalysts for environmentally friendly applications such as air purification [2], hydrogen production via water splitting [3] and the removal of organic molecules from water [4]. Recently, photocatalyst thin film has aroused growing interests instead of a powder type of photocatalyst. Photocatalyst film can be deposited on various…

CONTENTS RESEARCH QUESTION How does the length of carbon chains, specifically those related to alkanols, namely ethanol 1- propanol and 1- butanol, affect the heat of combustion? AIM To investigate how the length of carbon chains affect the heat of combustion and enthalpy, in order to determine which fuel would be the safest and most efficient to take on a camping trip. HYPOTHESIS If the number of carbon atoms in an alkanol is increased, then the alkanol containing the longest carbon…

Introduction: Many chemical compounds are broken down into two very distinct categories: acidic or basic. Acidic, based on the Bronsted-Lowry Theory, is defined as a proton (H+) donor. An equation exemplifying an acid dissolving in water is: HCl (g) H2O H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) A base, based on the Bronsted-Lowry Theory, is defined as a proton (H+) acceptor. An equation exemplifying a base dissolving in water: NaOH (s) H2O Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) Molarity, also known as the concentration…

oxygen, killing fish and other organisms which is crucial to the freshwater environment. Acid rain is a type of pollutant which has impacted the southern Appalachian Mountains. Acid rain is a level four on the pH level which measures the amount of hydrogen in a substance. This pollutant falls into our freshwater ecosystems, and kills many of the living organisms due to the high acidity in the water. Heavy metals are extremely dangerous and causes a multitude of problems for our freshwater. Lead,…

SAFETY ACTION PLAN Student’s name Prof’s name Course title Date Food distribution warehouse workers have been experiencing symptoms such as lightheadedness and dizziness. These symptoms are believed to result from conditions in the company; therefore, investigations are to be launched in order to identify the possible source of the symptoms. To identify the sources of the contaminations, several methods were used. Methods such as observing the workers as they worked,…

In the Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of norbornene, water and sulfuric acid were added to the C=C double bond to form norborneol. Sulfuric acid acted as a catalyst, where it was not consumed in the reaction and helped to propel the reaction forward, as it was vital in forming hydronium ion and breaking the double bond. Both the products endo-norborneol and exo-norborneol were synthesized; however regioselectivity and stereoselectivity played a role as to which product was more preferred and whether…

1. INTRODUCTION Graphene consists of single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is the basic structural element of many other forms of carbon, such as graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. In simple terms, graphene, is a thin layer of pure carbon bonded together in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. It is the thinnest compound known to man, the lightest material known, the strongest compound discovered, the best conductor of heat at room temperature and also the…

Chemical Reactions I Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to test and see how four different chemical reaction worked. The four different chemical reactions are formation, decomposition, single-replacement, and double-replacement. The hypothesis of this experiment was that in each of the different reactions something would happen to the reactant whether it be color, mass, temperature, or pressure. II Equipment For this experiment Late Nite lab was used. In Late Nite Lab the equipment…

Paragraph 1 Iron phosphate structure with a symbol of FePo4, has crystal structures of FeO4 and PO4 as its tetrahedral links. There would be changes of this quartz type that can be determined by the neutron poly difraction between 294K and 1073K, according to Z. Kristallogr. While structural parameters of the iron phosphate depends on the temperature, whereby iron phosphate would be a beta-phase from an alpha-phase when temperature increases from low to high. Irregularity would also be…

example: Highly pure silicon for computer chips is produced through a displacement reaction. In this reaction, hydrogen reacts with silicon tetrachloride to form hydrogen chloride and release silicon. 4. Double displacement reactions: Double displacement reactions are those in which two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds. For example: In the reaction of copper sulphate and hydrogen sulphide, copper sulphide and sulphuric acid are…
