  2. Methane clathrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_clathrate

    Methane clathrate (CH 4 ·5.75H 2 O) or (4CH 4 ·23H 2 O), also called methane hydrate, hydromethane, methane ice, fire ice, natural gas hydrate, or gas hydrate, is a solid clathrate compound (more specifically, a clathrate hydrate) in which a large amount of methane is trapped within a crystal structure of water, forming a solid similar to ice.

  3. Enthalpy change of solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_change_of_solution

    The temperature of the solution eventually decreases to match that of the surroundings. The equilibrium, between the gas as a separate phase and the gas in solution, will by Le Châtelier's principle shift to favour the gas going into solution as the temperature is decreased (decreasing the temperature increases the solubility of a gas).

  4. Volatility (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatility_(chemistry)

    Bromine liquid readily transitions to vapor at room temperature, indicating high volatility. In chemistry , volatility is a material quality which describes how readily a substance vaporizes . At a given temperature and pressure , a substance with high volatility is more likely to exist as a vapour , while a substance with low volatility is ...

  5. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustibility_and...

    A non-combustible material [17] is a substance that does not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors when subject to fire or heat, in the form in which it is used and under conditions anticipated. Any solid substance complying with either of two sets of passing criteria listed in Section 8 of ASTM E 136 when the substance ...

  6. Carbon dioxide clathrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_clathrate

    Carbon dioxide hydrate or carbon dioxide clathrate is a snow-like crystalline substance composed of water ice and carbon dioxide. [1] It normally is a Type I gas clathrate. [2] There has also been some experimental evidence for the development of a metastable Type II phase at a temperature near the ice melting point.

  7. Kelvin equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_equation

    An equation similar to that of Kelvin can be derived for the solubility of small particles or droplets in a liquid, by means of the connection between vapour pressure and solubility, thus the Kelvin equation also applies to solids, to slightly soluble liquids, and their solutions if the partial pressure is replaced by the solubility of the ...

  8. Molecular diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_diffusion

    where D is the diffusivity of A through B, proportional to the average molecular velocity and, therefore dependent on the temperature and pressure of gases. The rate of diffusion N A is usually expressed as the number of moles diffusing across unit area in unit time. As with the basic equation of heat transfer, this indicates that the rate of ...

  9. Solubility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility

    where is a temperature-dependent constant (for example, 769.2 L·atm/mol for dioxygen (O 2) in water at 298 K), is the partial pressure (in atm), and is the concentration of the dissolved gas in the liquid (in mol/L). The solubility of gases is sometimes also quantified using Bunsen solubility coefficient.
