  2. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    Materials and compounds exhibit different hygroscopic properties, and this difference can lead to detrimental effects, such as stress concentration in composite materials. The volume of a particular material or compound is affected by ambient moisture and may be considered its coefficient of hygroscopic expansion (CHE) (also referred to as CME ...

  3. Primary standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_standard

    Here, a primary standard is typically a reagent which can be weighed easily, and which is so pure that its weight is truly representative of the number of moles of substance contained. Features of a primary standard include: High purity; Stability (low reactivity) Low hygroscopicity (to minimize weight changes due to humidity)

  4. Hydroxylammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxylammonium_nitrate

    Hydroxylammonium nitrate or hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula [NH 3 OH] + [NO 3] −. It is a salt derived from hydroxylamine and nitric acid. In its pure form, it is a colourless hygroscopic solid. It has potential to be used as a rocket propellant either as a solution in monopropellants or ...

  5. Choline bitartrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choline_bitartrate

    The toxicity of this compound is similar to toxicity of choline itself, which is fairly low, and it is used as a dietary supplement. Oral LD 50 value for a human is estimated to be 200 to 400 grams (as choline). Nevertheless, choline bitartrate can be harmful, if absorbed through skin. It may cause skin, eye and respiratory system irritation.

  6. Weighing bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighing_bottle

    Flat boat dish is an oblong, flat-bottomed dish, in which it is easy to weigh out the substance, and then move it the reaction chamber, but is not recommended for hygroscopic or air-reactive samples. A tall-shaped dish - it is elongated, oblong, flat-bottomed dish, used when the solid is transferred without a funnel. Other types

  7. Gallium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_nitrate

    The stable, nonahydrate, Ga(NO 3) 3 •9H 2 O is a white, slightly hygroscopic, crystalline powder of molecular weight 417.87, that is readily soluble in water. Each mL of Ganite (gallium nitrate injection) contains gallium nitrate 25 mg (on an anhydrous basis) and sodium citrate dihydrate 28.75 mg.

  8. Dynamic vapor sorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_vapor_sorption

    Dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) is a gravimetric technique that measures how quickly and how much of a solvent is absorbed by a sample such as a dry powder absorbing water. It does this by varying the vapor concentration surrounding the sample and measuring the change in mass which this produces.

  9. Hydrostatic weighing - Wikipedia

    Example 2: Consider a larger block of the same stone material as in Example 1 but with a 1-liter cavity inside of the same amount of stone. The block would still weigh 3 kilograms on dry land (ignoring the weight of air in the cavity) but it would now displace 2 liters of water so its immersed weight would be only 1 kilogram (at 4 °C).
