  2. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    Thermal decomposition, or thermolysis, is a chemical decomposition of a substance caused by heat. The decomposition temperature of a substance is the temperature at which the substance chemically decomposes. The reaction is usually endothermic as heat is required to break chemical bonds in the compound undergoing

  3. Chemical defenses in Cannabis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_defenses_in_Cannabis

    Cannabis plants, like many others, biochemically synthesize terpenes with intense aromas as a method of chemical defense in attempts to repel predators, and invite pollinators. Because terpenes and terpenoids are biologically active molecules, it is possible variations in terpenes may elicit different biological and psychoactive responses in ...

  4. Second law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics

    One example of this is the cooling crystallization of water that can occur when the system's surroundings are below freezing temperatures. Unconstrained heat transfer can spontaneously occur, leading to water molecules freezing into a crystallized structure of reduced disorder (sticking together in a certain order due to molecular attraction).

  5. Absolute zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero

    At temperatures near 0 K (−273.15 °C; −459.67 °F), nearly all molecular motion ceases and ΔS = 0 for any adiabatic process, where S is the entropy.In such a circumstance, pure substances can (ideally) form perfect crystals with no structural imperfections as T → 0.

  6. Water splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_splitting

    At the very high temperature of 3,000 °C (3,270 K; 5,430 °F) more than half of the water molecules are decomposed. At ambient temperatures only one molecule in 100 trillion dissociates by the effect of heat. [15] The high temperature requirements and material constraints have limited the applications of the thermal decomposition approach.

  7. Cannabinoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid

    Cannabis plants can exhibit wide variation in the quantity and type of cannabinoids they produce. The mixture of cannabinoids produced by a plant is known as the plant's cannabinoid profile. Selective breeding has been used to control the genetics of plants and modify the cannabinoid profile.

    A 2022 Outside article on heat stroke cites the highest known body temperature that a human was able to survive: “The highest body temperature measured was only 17 degrees above normal. Willie ...

  9. Cannabis cultivation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_cultivation

    Watering frequency and amount is determined by many factors, including temperature and light, the age, size and stage of growth [22] of the plant and the medium's ability to retain water. A conspicuous sign of water problems is the wilting of leaves. [23] Giving too much water can kill cannabis plants if the growing medium gets over-saturated.
