NiCd is the chemical abbreviation for the composition of Nickel-Cadmium batteries, which are a type of secondary (rechargeable) batteries. Nickel-Cadmium batteries contain the chemicals Nickel (Ni) and Cadmium (Cd), in various forms and compositions. The nickel-cadmium battery, invented by Waldmar Jungner in 1899, offered several advantages over the then only rechargeable battery, lead acid, but the materials were expensive and the early use was restricted. Developments lagged until 1932 when…

enter the house and allow the stale air to exit. The effects of VOCs can also be lowered by minimalizing exposure to these compounds. An example of a VOC is methanol, a substance which is toxic if ingested because it metabolises to form Formaldehyde (CH_2 O). Methanol (CH_3 OH) is most commonly found in products such as cigarettes as well as in foods or drinks containing aspartame, an artificial sweetener. Formaldehyde is another toxic VOC which can cause the development of cancer. Formaldehyde…

What is a chemist? A chemist is a scientist that studies, physical and chemical properties of different forms of matter. There are two profound chemist whose findings were crucial to today's understanding of chemistry. There names were Marie Curie and Dimitri Mendeleev, both chemist made significant impacts on modern day science and society. Dmitri Mendeleev is responsible for the creation of the periodic table, while Marie Curie is responsible for discovering radioactivity, which advanced the…

1. Is mercury an appropriate target for AGI? Why or why not? Please clearly cite examples for your reasons. (10 points) There are many reasons that mercury is an appropriate target for AGI. • Both companies are in the same industry of footwear products. • First off the two companies have differentiating strategies and markets that they sell to. AGI will be adding a new market to their company goals and increasing their revenue streams. • AGI strives in the casual footwear segment with a…

Fig 4.12 shows the comparison of product density of hydrotreated GO obtained using CAT-E and CAT-C. The density of hydrotreated GO from CAT-C at 370◦C was 0.8148g/ml whereas at the same temperature the density of hydrotreated GO obtained from CAT-E was 0.8302 g/ml despite sulphur and nitrogen in the GO has been reduced to less than 50 ppm and 1 ppm respectively. The reason for higher density would be due to higher aromatic content in the hydrotreated product obtained from CAT-E. This indicates…

Characterization of the oxidized amylose and the linalool/oxidized amylose inclusion complex. The high water solubility of oxidized amylose can broaden the applications in water environment.14, 32 The Table 1 shows the properties of amylose and oxidized amylose. As expected, the solubility of oxidized amyloses in water is highly improved due to the introduced carboxyl and carbonyl groups. And it increases greatly with the increase of carboxyl content. The results suggest that due to the two-step…

The 'Wingate Cycle Ergometer Test' is an anaerobic test that is performed on a cycle ergometer. Eg. Monark. (Vandewalle et al. 1987). The aim of our test is to measure Peak Power Output(PPO), Relative Peak Power Output(RPP), Fatigue Index(FI) and Anaerobic Capacity(AC) throughout the Wingate Anaerobic Test. For both our participants we will compare our findings and provide an explanation for the similarities/differences we encounter between the two. Peak Power Output is the highest power output…

1.4.2.2 Oxidizer The oxidizer is an another basic ingredient of solid propellant which produces high energy during combustion of composite solid propellants, which can be referred to as the substance that whose function is the oxidizing materials or supply of oxygen for deflagration of a propellant. Ammonium perchlorate (AP) is the most commonly used oxidizer in solid propellant applications, which replaced Potassium Perchlorate in the late 1940’s. AP was used as an oxidizer in various types of…

Research Question: How do different concentrations of nitric acid (measured in molars) with copper powder (grams) affect the rate of reaction (measured in seconds) measured using a stopwatch? Hypothesis: The copper powder placed in the most concentrated amount of nitric acid, measured in molar, will take the least amount of time, measured in seconds, to react compared to the amounts of copper powder in other less concentrated amounts of nitric acid. This is as if the concentration of nitric acid…

composite has been investigated. For that purpose, the PMMA samples with Al2O3 additive prepared with different percentages(0,15,25,35 and 45) wt.% and different thickness. The experimental results showed that the D.C electrical conductivity increased with increasing the alumina concentrations and temperature. Also the activation energy change with increasing of additional alumina. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss, A.C electrical conductivity are changed with change the concentration of…
