  2. Ethylbenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylbenzene

    Ethylbenzene is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 3. It is a highly flammable, colorless liquid with an odor similar to that of gasoline . This monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is important in the petrochemical industry as a reaction intermediate in the production of styrene , the precursor to polystyrene , a common plastic ...

  3. Marine biogeochemical cycles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_biogeochemical_cycles

    Since liquid water flows, ocean waters cycle and flow in currents around the world. Since water easily changes phase, it can be carried into the atmosphere as water vapour or frozen as an iceberg. It can then precipitate or melt to become liquid water again. All marine life is immersed in water, the matrix and womb of life itself. [7]

  4. BTX (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTX_(chemistry)

    If ethylbenzene is included, the mixture is sometimes referred to as BTEX. The BTX aromatics are very important petrochemical materials. Global consumption of benzene, estimated at more than 40,000,000 tons in 2010, showed an unprecedented growth of more than 3,000,000 tons from the level seen in 2009.

  6. Water cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle

    The ocean plays a key role in the water cycle as it is the source of 86% of global evaporation. [2] The water cycle involves the exchange of energy, which leads to temperature changes. When water evaporates, it takes up energy from its surroundings and cools the environment. When it condenses, it releases energy and warms the environment.

  7. Diethylbenzenes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethylbenzenes

    Diethylbenzenes arise as side-products of the alkylation of benzene with ethylene, which can be described as two steps. The first step is the industrial route to ethylbenzene, which is produced on a large scale as a precursor to styrene. C 6 H 6 + C 2 H 4 → C 6 H 5 C 2 H 5. The diethylbenzene is an inadvertent side product. C 6 H 5 C 2 H 5 ...

  8. Ethyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_group

    Ethyl group (highlighted blue) as part of a molecule, as the ethyl radical, and in the compounds ethanol, bromoethane, ethyl acetate, and ethyl methyl ether.. In organic chemistry, an ethyl group (abbr. Et) is an alkyl substituent with the formula −CH 2 CH 3, derived from ethane (C 2 H 6).

  9. Azeotrope tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotrope_tables

    This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.
