Students heat copper(II) oxide in a glass tube while passing methane over it. The copper(II) oxide is reduced to copper. If the reactants and products are weighed carefully the formula of the copper oxide can be deduced. This could also be used simply as an example of reduction. Lesson organisation This experiment is likely to take up to an hour, perhaps more to analyse the…

It is obvious that there are many benefits that can be obtained when using regenerative thermal oxidizers. However, industry owners need to ensure that they are getting the best quality units, or they are going to face different complications, such as some unwanted downtime, decreased efficiency, and so on. The best part about using this kind of equipment is that it becomes…

The oxidation number reflects the (usually integral) unit measure of charge an atom in a molecule can expect to observe in a given chemical environment. For example, Hydrogen, is with near universality identical in its tendency to assume a +1 oxidation state. This +1 is may be interpreted as a reflection of its electron-sharing behavior in molecular matter. Recall: First…

Eat natural foods that lower cholesterol oxidation. Oxidation is the main culprit of your cholesterol problem. The “original LDL” in our body is good and necessary for building cell membranes, other cell parts, and a variety of essential hormones. This cholesterol ensures that babies born have exactly five fingers on each hand. Note this: The problems start when free radicals…

Chlorine dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula CIO2, and is a popular disinfecting agent for treating both drinking water and water used in cooling systems. It was first introduced in 1944 by the Niagara Falls, New York Water Treatment Plant, and due to its superior use over chlorine when operating over a ph 7 with the presence of ammonia and amines, it quickly became…

Cystic fibrosis therapies designed to deprive Pseudomonas aeruginosa of iron may not work, according to a study in mBio this week, because they only target one of the two forms of iron that are available in the lung. P. aeruginosa needs iron to establish and maintain a biofilm in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients, and antimicrobial therapies have been proposed to deprive…

Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) reactors can process waste effluents achieving high conversions without producing pollutants –apart from carbon dioxide-, but the required extreme pressure and temperature operational conditions entail high-energy operational expenditure. Because of this, it is necessary to study reasonable solutions which are able to solve this part of…

I have a 1997 Maxum with a dark maroon colored hull that I have used dozens of products on to correct the oxidation problem and not one of them worked. So I was very suspicious when I saw this product on Ship Shape TV because I had used s many other products to fix my boat. I was in the process of getting pricing on a complete repaint of the boat that exceeded $2, 500.00 because…

It is because aluminium is more reactive than iron. Aluminium prefers to be bound to other elements so energy is released when it reacts with iron oxide. So when heated with iron oxide, the reaction will give out a lot of heat. The atoms then rearrange themselves into a different element (iron) and a different compound (aluminium oxide). This will form the chemical equation:…

12 December 2007 Chemists in Japan and France have produced a new iron oxide with a sheet-like structure that could be used in fuel cells and sensors. The team produced the compound by gentle reduction in a way that may also yield other unusual and potentially useful crystalline structures. Hiroshi Kageyama from the University of Kyoto and colleagues started with a conventional…

Uranium can take many chemical forms. In nature, uranium is generally found as an oxide, such as in the olive-green-colored mineral pitchblende. Uranium oxide is also the chemical form most often used for nuclear fuel. Uranium-fluorine compounds are also common in uranium processing, with uranium hexafluoride (UF6) and uranium tetrafluoride (UF4) being the two most common…

Iron combusts in oxygen to form various iron oxides, mainly iron() oxide: 4 Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g) == 2 Fe2O3 (s) Iron in its usual bulk solid form will only burn when in pure oxygen with when a great deal of heat is supplied. This is what a cutting torch does. As we can see in this demo, however, when iron is subdivided finely it burns readily enough in air. We also see that when…

Iron oxide materials yield pigments that are nontoxic, nonbleeding, weather resistant, and lightfast. Natural iron oxides include a combination of one or more ferrous or ferric oxides, and impurities, such as manganese, clay, or organics. Synthetic iron oxides can be produced in various ways, including thermal decomposition of iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate, to produce…
