Hi, I thought I would post this, hope not against protocol, thought may be helpful to someone else at some point -- though hope it is not necessary:. I had dropped a bit of liquid on the PC (laptop) , in the keyboard area. PC was not working well, typing errors, etc. I put the laptop open...

Liquid junction potential occurs when 2 solutions of different concentrations are in contact with each other. The more concentrated one would have tendency to diffuse faster comparitively than less concentrated. The rate of diffision depends on the mobility of ions. Weston cadmium cell is...

Obviously we don't have the technology to make this work now but I would like to know how plausible this is as a concept/thought experiment. Basically the idea is to discover a gas or liquid with a very high activation energy (for some reaction) so that it can absorb an explosion or control a...

Hello! I have some troubles finding a way to estimate how much temperature of liquid would rise when it is suddenly adiabatically pressurized to thousands of bars. In normal conditions liduids such as water are considered to be incompressible, but certainly not in 5000 bars. Because water (or...

HI Guys .. I really need some help on this ... I need to manufacture(mix) a liquid that 'displays' as UV light if that's the correct term. any ideas where I could start ? I have limited chemicals knowledge :/

Hi all, I'm brushing up on some thermodynamics, and having been reading up on the interpretation of temperature as derived from kinetic theory. I can follow the derivation for an ideal, monatomic gas which relates temperature to the average, translational kinetic energy of the molecules. Most...

I have a refractory adhesive based upon liquid Na2O3Si and other unknown constituents. It remains a liquid until a specific temperature... when it boils, or gasses. At this point, if the temperature is removed (or increased), the liquid becomes a solid. It would appear (perhaps incorrectly)...

hello I have a liquid or gas inside a metallic box (eg. stainless steel 5mm thick) how can I increase its temperature without heat convection or conduction?

Is it simply the gaseous state of a liquid substance? For instance, water vapor, in this context, would be the gas state of water after having transitioned from a liquid state.

What are we referring to when we denote, say, NaCl (aq)? Are we referring to the dissolved NaCl (Na+ and Cl-)? Are we speaking of the solution as a whole (the dissolved NaCl and water)? Also, how does the liquid state differ from an aqueous?

I've read a fews post about liquid hydrogen boil off, but could use a bit more clarification; insight on the following thought experiment would be really helpful: What happens if I take a 1 L steel vessel, put 1 L of liquid H2 into it, seal it off, and let it sit in a room at 25C? The density...

Hi Everyone liquid nitrogen is very useful . i want to know how to make liquid nitrogen? i won't make a one. but i only want to know how to make it .

Please could someone verify this statement as I understand things: If an object has a low reynolds number (or the fluid is very viscous) then it is dominated by viscous forces and inertia plays no role. The object is in a laminar flow regime. That last part, is it correct? What I'm asking is...

We Know that in conductive Solids there are lots of free electrons available & they drift when electric field is applied. Their drift velocity is in the range of mm/sec to cm/sec. Now if we consider any conductive liquid which is flowing & we connect the electrodes in such fashion that the flow...

Why is the average kinetic energy of the molecules a cold liquid less? As the temperature of a liquid decreases, the average kinetic energy of its molecules reduce. What is the reason behind this?

Hello Fellow members. In many litterature about mixing liquids in tanks, they describe how to calculate the natural frequency of shafts in free air. But i have only found one book that describe about natural frequency of shafts in liquid, and it should have a damping effect of the natural...

After some reading, I noticed that everybody likes to mention the order parameter and most of the literature simply adds a graph, for example: http://www.personal.kent.edu/~bisenyuk/liquidcrystals/maintypes2.html However, many (all of them, to be exact) seem to avoid the exact expression of...

why do heavier balls fall faster in liquids ?, if F=mg-drag, a heavier ball would have greater mg, but the acceleration is given by F=ma, therefore mg-drag = ma, a = (mg-drag)/m. I can't see how a heavier ball would fall faster.

What is Supercooled liquid?How glass comes out to be Supercooled liquid?As far as i know Supercooling is the process of chilling a liquid below its freezing point, without it becoming solid.But glass looks like solid.Please explain

I'm looking for a cheap material that I can fill plastic hollow model's with, that will harden up, to give the model a good weight. The model's are being made by a 3D Printer, and if made hollow, they don't weight a whole lot. Any suggestions?

I know that setting the conditions so that the product is formed as a liquid will produce a higher yield in the manufacture of Ammonia, but why is this?
