When mixed with water, strong acid and strong base salts create a strong acid and strong base, but the solution is neither acidic nor basic, so... View Article
For the bonding of individual atoms together, electrons are also necessary. Without this bonding force between atoms, in the various reactions... View Article
Hydrogen has numerous other applications as well. In the chemical industry, cyclohexane and methanol, which are intermediates in the manufacture... View Article
The boiling of water allows solid calcium carbonate or solid magnesium carbonate to precipitate. It extracts from the water the calcium ions, or... View Article

The size of the charge on an electron was determined by an experiment conducted by Robert Millikan in 1909. He also found that there was a... View Article
Hardness is caused by calcium and magnesium complexes and by a number of other metals. Dissolved calcium and to a lesser degree, magnesium are... View Article
Corrosion is when a refined metal, such as its oxide, hydroxide or sulphide state, is spontaneously converted to a more solid form, which... View Article
On the basis of the form of chemical bond concerned, three simple hydride forms can be distinguished: saline (ionic), metallic, and covalent. On... View Article
Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit also known as ohmic resistance or electrical resistance. Ohms... View Article
Hydrogen has three isotopes that exist naturally: 1H (protium), 2H (deuterium), and 3H (tritium). In the laboratory, other strongly unstable... View Article
D2O is more toxic to malignant animal cells than average, albeit at concentrations which are too high for routine clinical use. The explanation... View Article
Protecting the metal from corrosion, such as galvanisation, may be one factor. Another excuse may be to make an affordable metal look better.... View Article
Zeolites are structures of crystalline solids made of silicon, aluminium and oxygen that form a cavity and channel system within which cations,... View Article
Na2CO3 is neither an acid nor a base. It is a salt. The chemical compound with the molecular formula Na2CO3 is sodium carbonate. It is generally... View Article
Sodium hydroxide is the toughest base since it fully dissociates to give sodium ions and hydroxide ions. The solution is more acidic and has a... View Article
For flavouring and for storing fruit, salt has long been used. It has also been used for tanning, dyeing and bleaching, as well as for pottery,... View Article
