  2. Formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde

    Formaldehyde does not accumulate in the environment, because it is broken down within a few hours by sunlight or by bacteria present in soil or water. Humans metabolize formaldehyde quickly, converting it to formic acid , so it does not accumulate.

  3. Degassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degassing

    The solubility of gas obeys Henry's law, that is, the amount of a dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure. Therefore, placing a solution under reduced pressure makes the dissolved gas less soluble. Sonication and stirring under reduced pressure can usually enhance the efficiency.

    Water Conditioner. These are designed to balance the "hardness" of water (the presence of other trace chemicals that change the water's pH or neutrality) and to help reduce the deceased's acidity, a by-product of decomposition, as formaldehyde works best in an alkaline environment. Additionally, water conditioners may be used to help inactivate ...

  5. Henry's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry's_law

    In his 1803 publication about the quantity of gases absorbed by water, [1] William Henry described the results of his experiments: … water takes up, of gas condensed by one, two, or more additional atmospheres, a quantity which, ordinarily compressed, would be equal to twice, thrice, &c. the volume absorbed under the common pressure of the atmosphere.

  6. Paraformaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraformaldehyde

    Paraformaldehyde can be depolymerized to formaldehyde gas by dry heating [2] and to formaldehyde solution by water in the presence of a base, an acid or heat. The high purity formaldehyde solutions obtained in this way are used as a fixative for microscopy and histology. The resulting formaldehyde gas from dry heating paraformaldehyde is flammable.

  7. Table of specific heat capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat...

    For gases, departure from 3 R per mole of atoms is generally due to two factors: (1) failure of the higher quantum-energy-spaced vibration modes in gas molecules to be excited at room temperature, and (2) loss of potential energy degree of freedom for small gas molecules, simply because most of their atoms are not bonded maximally in space to ...

    Collectors avidly seek out original Apple-1 units, especially those in working condition or with their original packaging. These rare pieces can get a whopping $220,000 at auctions, which is a ...

  9. Methyl methacrylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_methacrylate

    The MeP synthesis is conducted in a continuous-stirred tank reactor at moderate temperature and pressure using proprietary agitation and gas-liquid mixing arrangement. In a second set of reactions, MeP is condensed with formaldehyde in a single heterogeneous reaction step to form MMA: [13] CH 3 CH 2 CO 2 CH 3 + CH 2 O → CH 3 (CH 2)CCO 2 CH 3 ...
