  2. Lead(II) nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead(II)_nitrate

    Lead(II) nitrate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Pb(NO 3) 2.It commonly occurs as a colourless crystal or white powder and, unlike most other lead(II) salts, is soluble in water.

  3. Bioconcentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioconcentration

    Fugacity and BCF relate to each other in the following equation: = [6] where Z Fish is equal to the Fugacity capacity of a chemical in the fish, P Fish is equal to the density of the fish (mass/length 3), BCF is the partition coefficient between the fish and the water (length 3 /mass) and H is equal to the Henry's law constant (Length 2 /Time 2) [6]

  4. Lead and Copper Rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_and_Copper_Rule

    EPA illustration of lead sources in residential buildings Infographic about lead in drinking water. The Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) is a United States federal regulation that limits the concentration of lead and copper allowed in public drinking water at the consumer's tap, as well as limiting the permissible amount of pipe corrosion occurring due to the water itself. [1]

  5. Particle-size distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle-size_distribution

    In these systems, the scrubbing liquid (usually water) comes into contact with a gas stream containing dust particles. The greater the contact of the gas and liquid streams, the higher the dust removal efficiency. Electrostatic precipitators use electrostatic forces to separate dust particles from exhaust gases. They can be very efficient at ...

  6. Lead contamination in Washington, D.C., drinking water

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_contamination_in...

    Lead is not normally present in drinking water; it is released from the inside surface of lead service lines (pipes that run from the main to the house), joints connected with lead-based solder, and lead fixtures inside the house. Based on these findings, WASA was required to notify the public and implement plans to replace lead service lines ...

  7. Copper(II) nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper(II)_nitrate

    Copper nitrate, in combination with acetic anhydride, is an effective reagent for nitration of aromatic compounds, known as the Menke nitration. [17] Hydrated copper nitrate adsorbed onto clay affords a reagent called "Claycop". The resulting blue-colored clay is used as a slurry, for example for the oxidation of thiols to disulfides.

  8. Golden rain demonstration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rain_demonstration

    Golden rain demonstration is made by combining two colorless solutions, potassium iodide solution and Lead(II) nitrate solution at room temperature to form yellow precipitate. During the chemical reaction, golden particles gently drop from the top of Erlenmeyer flask to the bottom, similar to watching the rain through a window.

  9. Partition coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_coefficient

    K ow, being a type of partition coefficient, serves as a measure of the relationship between lipophilicity (fat solubility) and hydrophilicity (water solubility) of a substance. The value is greater than one if a substance is more soluble in fat-like solvents such as n-octanol, and less than one if it is more soluble in water. [citation needed]
