    Hydrodistillation and (original) uses

    Maybe you can talk about the historical significance of distillation , compounds needed for medicines has always been a major goal of early chemists and hydro distillation was a premier method for concentration of medicinal compounds .

    I Nature of matter: state question

    I see it a little clearer now , thank you, I also was wondering about this at standard pressure and temp. I can visualize a lot of the change being product of orbital configuration and lattice structure as well , but I was wondering why this wasn't brought to light at the other forum . It seemed...

    I Nature of matter: state question

    Yes , I was vague . The gas element nitrogen is diatomic beside a solid state carbon on the periodic table, they are neighbors , but their phases are different , why ? Their atomic mass is similar but this phase change , at least in lighter elements seems to shift between solid and gas without...

    I Nature of matter: state question

    im curious as this question came up in a chemistry forum and it's more of a physics question I believe . State changes between elements of near similar number , what constitutes the extreme phase changes ? It was answered that there is no real answer for why the phase differences occurs at...

    What sparked my interest in the world of physics and chemistry?

    hello my name is Ferrum , I'm a chemistry , biochem , and physics student . I have always been interested in phenomenon concerning matter and at a young age , probably like most kids I was interested in how magnets were able to maufacture a force across matter . This was the beginning and...

    What does it mean for there to be uniform pressure?

    It most likely means that fluid pressure is not variable across the shell, at all points of the shells surface the pressure is not polarized to anyone particular sector of it . It is probably to make the question easier
