(As you can guess, different fuels begin burning at different temperatures.) Heat or ignition sources lift fuel (combustible material) to its activation energy to start the fire. The fire generates heat which sustains the chemical reaction; the blaze continues and spreads. Some firefighting tactics shield the fuel from air (oxygen) to extinguish the blaze. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers expel a cold fog of CO2 that cuts a fire off from its air supply.
Simple and Fractional Distillation of Cyclohexane and Toluene Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to become familiar with the processes of simple and fractional distillation. In this experiment a mixture of two volatile compounds, cyclohexane and toluene, were separated with the process of distillation. Distillation relies on each compound having distinct and separate boiling points. The pure products were analyzed with gas chromatography to determine the success of the distillation. Introduction: Distillation is the process of heating a liquid until it boils, then condensing and collecting the resulting hot vapors.
Water is used in photosynthesis by plants, which produce oxygen - this reaction is vital for the earth as the oxygen produced is used by humans to breath Water is used in coal powered electricity stations. The coal is burned which boils the water. The water becomes steam, which turns the turbine, activating the generator, then producing the electricity. Because water can also exist as a vapor it can be stored into the atmosphere and be delivered as rain across the planet. Water makes up 90% of the earth’s atmosphere and the other 20% is land Our bodies are about 60 percent water [source: Mayo Clinic].
Then we just give the sample to TA in order to get the peak. 4. Result and Discussion Steam distillation is a special type of distillation especially for temperature sensitive materials. Many organic compounds, in this case, limonene, tend to decompose at high sustained temperatures. Steam is introduced to the distillation system.
When the gas comes out of the ground, it comes out wet. The first stage of the refining process involves on-site heating of the gas to 212 degrees to evaporate any non-methane hydrocarbons and fluids that are mixed into the gas. (Arthur, 2008) The condensate that is generated from this process is then vented into the atmosphere. The condensate often contains the same chemical additives that are added to the well during the fracking process, as well as volatile organic compounds that are naturally occurring in the ground where the gas is stored (Witter,
Fossil fuels like the substance sulfur dioxide products are burnt to heat water under pressure , making them steam. This high pressure steam is used to spin the turbine generators which make electricity although this method is not really used anymore now. 5.) What are the potential hazards for using this resource? The potential hazards for using sulfur dioxide is it can affect our environment, plants, animals, the air that we breathe, our water resources and our planet.
The study of specific heat falls under the category of Thermochemistry which is further divided into the category of Calorimetry. An instrument called a calorimeter is used to measure specific heat. A piece of metal is placed in a container of water. This is then boiled. The piece of metal is then taken out of the boiling water and placed in a calorimeter which contains room temperature water.
During the process of TIG welding, an arc is formed between a pointed tungsten electrode and the area to be welded. As a result of the gas shield, a clean weld is formed. This prevents oxidization from occurring. The arc is started with a tungsten electrode shielded by inert gas and filler rod is fed into the weld puddle separately. A slower process than MIG, it produces a more precise weld and can be used at lower amperages for thinner metal and can be used on exotic metals.
4. The products of a burning candle are carbon dioxide and water. 5. wax(vapor) + oxygencarbon dioxide + water Reactants Products Conclusion: From this lab, I learned that wax burns in a vapor state. Fire requires fuel and oxygen in order to burn. The products of a combustion reaction are carbon dioxide and water.
Class B fires are those that involve flammable or combustible liquids and gasses. Using foam is one of the main ways to control a Class B fire. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment that must be de-energized; for instance, a burning electrical generator. Once the object is de-energized in most cases the fire can be handled like a Class A or B fire. Class D fires or combustible metals that burn at extremely high temperature levels, and most metals cannot be put out with just water and dry powers are
