  2. Nickel double salts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_double_salts

    Nickel forms double salts with Tutton's salt structure with tetrafluoroberyllate with the range of cations of ammonia, [4] potassium, rubidium, cesium, [5] and thallium. [ 6 ] Anhydrous salts of the formula M 2 Ni 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , which can be termed metal nickel trisulfates, belong to the family of langbeinites .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_Inhalation_Injury

    Prior to 9/11, 3% of firefighters had below-normal lung function, one year after 9/11 nearly 19% did, and six years later it stabilized at 13%. Ten to 14 days after acute exposure to some agents (e.g. ammonia, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, mercury), some patients develop bronchiolitis obliterans progressing to ARDS.

  4. Smelling salts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelling_salts

    Two capsules of smelling salts from a first-aid kit. A thin inner glass tube contains alcohol and ammonia; the outer layer is cotton and netting. When crushed, the liquid is released into the cotton, while the glass shards are retained inside. The ammonia-soaked cotton is waved in front of the nose for the treatment of fainting.

  5. Nickel (II) chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel(II)_chloride

    Nickel(II) chloride (or just nickel chloride) is the chemical compound NiCl 2. The anhydrous salt is yellow, but the more familiar hydrate NiCl 2 ·6H 2 O is green. Nickel(II) chloride, in various forms, is the most important source of nickel for chemical synthesis. The nickel chlorides are deliquescent, absorbing moisture from the air to form ...

    PE usually results from a blood clot in the leg that travels to the lung. [6] The risk of blood clots is increased by advanced age, cancer, prolonged bed rest and immobilization, smoking, stroke, long-haul travel over 4 hours, certain genetic conditions, estrogen-based medication, pregnancy, obesity, trauma or bone fracture, and after some ...

  9. Nickel compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_compounds

    Nickel ions can act as a cation in salts with many acids, including common oxoacids. Salts of the hexaaqua ion (Ni · 6 H 2 O 2+) are especially well known. Many double salts containing nickel with another cation are known. There are organic acid salts. Nickel can be part of a negatively charged ion (anion) making what is called a nickellate.
