SA1 Chemistry Points to Remember

SA1 Chemistry Points to Remember

  • During electrolysis of water hydrogen @ cathode and oxygen @ anode (in the ratio 2:1)
  • Colour of potassium nitrate is yellow ;  nitrogen di oxide is a brown fume formed during thermal decomposition of KNO3 
  • Gypsum, plaster of paris, blue vitriol(Cu SO4), washing soda have water of crystallization 
  • Amalgam is a metal in Mercury
  • Galvanization coating metal with Zn
  • Lustrous non metal is Iodine
  • Liquid non metal is Br
  • Liquid metal is Hg
  • pH is the measure of acidic or basic character of a medium It determines the amount of hydronium ion in the medium
  • Oxidation is loss of electron ; reduction is gain
  • Electrolysis is a redox reaction
  • Na OH is formed from brine solution by Chlor alkali process
  • Carbonates and bicarbonates liberate CO2 when treated with an acid
  • Very dilute Nitric acid gives hydrogen with Mg and Mn only
  • Hydrogen is used in the preparation of Margarine and chlorine in making PVC and CFCs
  • Thermit process is a highly exothermic reaction so used for welding railway tracks
  • Carbonates ore are clacinated and sulphide ores are roasted to convert the ore to their oxide form
  • Electrolytic reduction is used to extract metal high in the activity series
  • Cinnabar is the sulphide ore of mercury and Zinc blend that of zinc
  • Steel and ornamental gold are alloys
  • First step in metallurgy is concentration and last step is refining common to all metals.
  • Gaunge is the impurity in the ore

    Very informative information to one’s who is new in industry or to those who are frustrated from exothermic welding system & exothermic welding kits . It is a process to get the strong joint for conductors with some suitable simple steps.

Graphs and Level curves of functions of Two variables Definitions The set of points (x,y) in the plane where a function f (x,y) has a constant value f(x,y)=c is called a level curve of f The set of all points (x,y,f (x,y)) in space, for (x,y) in the domain of f, is called the graph of f The graph of f is called the surface z=f (x,y) The equation of the following hyperbolic paraboloid is `z=50+x^2-y^2`

Renewable Energy-Solar

The conventional energy sources are depleting at an exponential  rate .The energy crisis is a major concern for the nation around. The coal will last long only for 100 years or less petroleum resource will be exhausted nearly in 50 years time. The oil producing countries it self is moving towards the introduction of renewable energy sources , major among them is Solar energy. The energy production in the sun is  by the  nuclear fusion , hydrogen in the core of sun is converting in to heavier nucleus helium during this process the nuclear binding energy is liberating in the form useful energy . The plants can absorb the visible light and utilize it  for photosynthesis . The use of solar energy by natural means is coming only 1 to 2 % , rest of the energy is un utilized The solar energy capturing technique (Photo Voltaic) was introduced by Charles Fritts   in the year 1883 The solar energy can be  utilized in the following ways 1.  ...
