  2. Sodium sulfite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfite

    Sodium sulfite (sodium sulphite) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na 2 SO 3. A white, water-soluble solid, it is used commercially as an antioxidant and preservative. It is also suitable for the softening of lignin in the pulping and refining processes of wood and lignocellulosic materials. [1]

    Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6), ribose (C 5 H 10 O 5), Acetic acid (C 2 H 4 O 2), and formaldehyde (CH 2 O) all have different molecular formulas but the same empirical formula: CH 2 O.This is the actual molecular formula for formaldehyde, but acetic acid has double the number of atoms, ribose has five times the number of atoms, and glucose has six times the number of atoms.

  4. Rayleigh number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_number

    In fluid mechanics, the Rayleigh number (Ra, after Lord Rayleigh [1]) for a fluid is a dimensionless number associated with buoyancy-driven flow, also known as free (or natural) convection. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It characterises the fluid's flow regime: [ 5 ] a value in a certain lower range denotes laminar flow ; a value in a higher range ...

  5. Sodium sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfide

    Sodium sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula Na 2 S, or more commonly its hydrate Na 2 S·9H 2 O.Both the anhydrous and the hydrated salts in pure crystalline form are colorless solids, although technical grades of sodium sulfide are generally yellow to brick red owing to the presence of polysulfides and commonly supplied as a crystalline mass, in flake form, or as a fused solid.

  6. Hansen solubility parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansen_solubility_parameter

    Hansen solubility parameters were developed by Charles M. Hansen in his Ph.D thesis in 1967 [1] [2] as a way of predicting if one material will dissolve in another and form a solution. [3]

    Al 2 Si 2 O 7, (Al 2 O 3 ·2SiO 2), called metakaolinite, formed from kaolin by heating at 450 °C (842 °F). [5] Al 6 Si 2 O 13, (3Al 2 O 3 ·2SiO 2), the mineral mullite, the only thermodynamically stable intermediate phase in the Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 system at atmospheric pressure. [6] This also called '3:2 mullite' to distinguish it from 2Al 2 O ...

  8. Law of multiple proportions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_multiple_proportions

    These compounds are known today as nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, and nitrogen dioxide respectively. "Nitrous oxide" is 63.3% nitrogen and 36.7% oxygen, which means it has 80 g of oxygen for every 140 g of nitrogen. "Nitrous gas" is 44.05% nitrogen and 55.95% oxygen, which means there are 160 g of oxygen for every 140 g of nitrogen.

  9. Faujasite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faujasite

    Faujasite (FAU-type zeolite) is a mineral group in the zeolite family of silicate minerals.The group consists of faujasite-Na, faujasite-Mg and faujasite-Ca. They all share the same basic formula (Na 2,Ca,Mg) 3.5 [Al 7 Si 17 O 48]·32(H 2 O) by varying the amounts of sodium, magnesium and calcium. [1]
