  2. Chlorobenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorobenzene

    Chlorobenzene (abbreviated PhCl) is an aryl chloride and the simplest of the chlorobenzenes, consisting of a benzene ring substituted with one chlorine atom. Its chemical formula is C 6 H 5 Cl. This colorless, flammable liquid is a common solvent and a widely used intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals. [6]

  3. Salt metathesis reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_metathesis_reaction

    Salt metathesis is often employed to obtain salts that are soluble in organic solvents. Illustrative is the conversion of sodium perrhenate to the tetrabutylammonium salt: [2] NaReO 4 + N(C 4 H 9) 4 Cl → N(C 4 H 9) 4 [ReO 4] + NaCl. The tetrabutylammonium salt precipitates from the aqueous solution. It is soluble in dichloromethane.

  4. Freshwater acidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_acidification

    Diagram depicting the sources and cycles of acid rain precipitation. Freshwater acidification occurs when acidic inputs enter a body of fresh water through the weathering of rocks, invasion of acidifying gas (e.g. carbon dioxide), or by the reduction of acid anions, like sulfate and nitrate within a lake, pond, or reservoir. [1]

  5. Cloud seeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding

    The program is run by the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation. Thailand started a rain-making project in the late-1950s, known today as the Royal Rainmaking Project. Its first efforts scattered sea salt in the air to catch the humidity and dry ice to condense the humidity to form clouds. [71]

  6. Blanc chloromethylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanc_chloromethylation

    The Blanc chloromethylation (also called the Blanc reaction) is the chemical reaction of aromatic rings with formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride to form chloromethyl arenes. The reaction is catalyzed by Lewis acids such as zinc chloride. [1] The reaction was discovered by Gustave Louis Blanc (1872-1927) in 1923. [2] [3]

  7. Acid rain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_rain

    Acid rain is rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it has elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). Most water, including drinking water, has a neutral pH that exists between 6.5 and 8.5, but acid rain has a pH level lower than this and ranges from 4–5 on average.

  8. Chlorine production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_production

    Key to the production of chlorine is the operation of the brine saturation/treatment system. Maintaining a properly saturated solution with the correct purity is vital, especially for membrane cells. Many plants have a salt pile which is sprayed with recycled brine. Others have slurry tanks that are fed raw salt and recycled brine.

  9. Rainmaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainmaking

    According to the clouds' different physical properties, this can be done using airplanes or rockets to sow to the clouds with catalysts such as dry ice, silver iodide and salt powder, to make clouds rain or increase precipitation, to remove or mitigate farmland drought, to increase reservoir irrigation water or water supply capacity, to ...
