  2. Splint (laboratory equipment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splint_(laboratory_equipment)

    The glowing splint test is a test for an oxidising gas, such as oxygen. [4] In this test, a splint is lit, allowed to burn for a few seconds, then blown out by mouth or by shaking. Whilst the ember at the tip is still glowing hot, the splint is introduced to the gas sample that has been trapped in a vessel. [4]

  3. Nitrous oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide

    Nitrous oxide supports combustion by releasing the dipolar bonded oxygen radical, and can thus relight a glowing splint. N 2 O is inert at room temperature and has few reactions. At elevated temperatures, its reactivity increases. For example, nitrous oxide reacts with NaNH 2 at 187 °C (369 °F) to give NaN 3: 2 NaNH 2 + N 2 O → NaN 3 + NaOH ...

  4. Chlorine gas poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_gas_poisoning

    Chlorine gas poisoning is an illness resulting from the effects of exposure to chlorine beyond the threshold limit value. Acute chlorine gas poisoning primarily affects the respiratory system , causing difficulty breathing, cough, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, and sometimes skin irritation .

  5. Flame test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_test

    The range of elements positively detectable under standard conditions is small. Some elements emit weakly and others (Na) very strongly. Gold , silver , platinum , palladium , and a number of other elements do not produce a characteristic flame color, although some may produce sparks (as do metallic titanium and iron ); salts of beryllium and ...

  6. Rubidium-82 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubidium-82

    The decay of Rubidium-82, which undergoes positron emission.. Rubidium-82 is produced by electron capture of its parent nucleus, strontium-82.The generator contains accelerator produced 82 Sr adsorbed on stannic oxide in a lead-shielded column and provides a means for obtaining sterile nonpyrogenic solutions of rubidium chloride (halide salt form capable of injection).

  7. Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxins_and_dioxin-like...

    Some effects such as thymic atrophy are common in many species, but e.g. liver toxicity is typical in rabbits. [4] Low doses. Very few signs of toxicity are seen in adult animals after low doses, but developmental effects may occur at low dioxin levels, including foetal, neonatal, and possibly pubescent stages. [24]

  8. Organochlorine chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organochlorine_chemistry

    In oxychlorination, hydrogen chloride instead of the more expensive chlorine is used for the same purpose: CH 2 =CH 2 + 2 HCl + 1 ⁄ 2 O 2 → ClCH 2 CH 2 Cl + H 2 O. Secondary and tertiary alcohols react with hydrogen chloride to give the corresponding chlorides. In the laboratory, the related reaction involving zinc chloride in concentrated ...

  9. Hemangiosarcoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemangiosarcoma

    Hemangiosarcoma is a rapidly growing, highly invasive variety of cancer that occurs almost exclusively in dogs, and only rarely in cats, horses, mice, [1] or humans (vinyl chloride toxicity). It is a sarcoma arising from the lining of blood vessels; that is, blood-filled channels and spaces are commonly observed microscopically.
