Approximately 97 % of the water on earth is saline water, and only 3% is fresh water. Seawater contains 96.5% water, 2.5% salts, and 1% of other dissolved substances. Large quantities of magnesium, bromine, sodium chloride are obtained from seawater.In this article, we will study whether seawater is acidic or alkaline in nature.So, is seawater acidic or alkaline? Seawater is alkaline in nature. The pH of seawater is >7 and is slightly alkaline due to dissolved basic minerals and the natural buffering from carbonates and bicarbonates in the water....

It is the same metal that was first named after its sweet taste but at the same time considered poisonous if ingested. So, it is advised not to taste it.This metal is a non-magnetic element that has superior thermal conductivity. It is normally resistant to oxidation and even to concentrated nitric acid.Still cannot guess the answer to any of these queries? That’s alright! It was not really that easy.The answer to all the above questions is “Beryllium”....

Are you that person? Are you one of the people because of whom 3.5 billion hangers are deposited in US landfills?Instead of throwing your hangers away, you have a choice to take action and make good use of these hangers.Can you recycle metal hangers? Yes, you can, but it can be difficult. Most recycling facilities do not accept metal hangers. It is because of their unique shape that they get stuck in the machinery that recycles....

The molecular weight of the compound is 83.45 g/mol.ClO3- appears to be a wet substance mostly a solid which has moisture in it.This compound can be made in a Redox reaction between chlorine and sodium hydroxide:3Cl2​(g)​ + 6OH−(aq) ​ ——> 5Cl−(aq) ​+ ClO3−(aq) ​+ 3H2​O(l)​If the question arose in your mind that what is a Redox reaction then let us tell you that it is a type of reaction in which the oxidation state of atoms is changed....

It is an alkaline white substance that is slightly salty in taste. Its history dates back 4 million years ago when due to drought the salt lakes around the globe dried up resulting in deposits of trona.The trona rock can be processed into soda ash which is chemically sodium carbonate and occurs naturally. It is also used for making baking soda.Is baking soda a compound? Yes, baking soda is a compound....

So is HF a strong acid? HF, or hydrofluoric acid, is not a strong acid. It is weakly acidic because it does not completely dissociate in water due to the extremely strong H-F bond. Fluorine has a strong affinity for hydrogen atoms that take a large amount of energy to break the H-F bond.Let us look at this in details.There are many definitions for an acid, however, let us consider the simplest one....

Although the presence of sulfur dioxide is not abundant in the atmosphere of the earth, the traces of its presence can cause serious health impacts. The colorless gas is associated with a pungent odor which can contribute to choking or suffocation. Sulfur dioxide is widely used for manufacturing chemicals, pulping paper, for processing food and metal.The impending question that now lies, Is Sulphur Dioxide Ionic or Covalent? Sulfur dioxide is a Covalent compound because, in the case of sulfur dioxide, two atoms possessing similar electronegativity try to bond together....

In nature, the compound is corrosive and its molecular weight is 430.49 g/mol. Storage and shipment of this molecule are done in sealed containers as it is highly irritating to human skin and eyes.Generally, PBr5 is used to make other chemicals and compounds.The melting and boiling point of PBr5 is ~100 °C (dec.) and 106 °C (dec.) respectively.The reaction between PBr5 and water results in the emission of corrosive Hydrogen Bromide gas....

This chemical compound has been under scrutiny because of its usage for energy storage. It is used in the production of cathodes for different solid-state batteries because of which lithium-sulfur batteries are becoming the future.Moreover, silicon disulfide is used in electronic and chemical products along with, solar power because of having great potential due to its optical and photovoltaic properties.Silicon disulfide has good compatibility with sulfates where it is substantially soluble in water and acid....

So, Why chloroform is stored in dark bottles? Chloroform is stored in dark bottles because, in the presence of light and oxygen, it reacts with oxygen to form a highly poisonous gas known as Phosgene. Therefore, chloroform is stored in the dark closed bottles so that it could not get expose to light and oxygen. IUPAC name of Phosgene is carbonyl chloride.Chloroform is an organic compound with chemical formulae CHCl3....
