  2. Kirkendall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkendall_effect

    The Kirkendall effect is the motion of the interface between two metals that occurs due to the difference in diffusion rates of the metal atoms. The effect can be observed, for example, by placing insoluble markers at the interface between a pure metal and an alloy containing that metal, and heating to a temperature where atomic diffusion is reasonable for the given timescale; the boundary ...

  3. Potassium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chloride

    Potassium chloride (KCl, or potassium salt) is a metal halide salt composed of potassium and chlorine. It is odorless and has a white or colorless vitreous crystal appearance. The solid dissolves readily in water, and its solutions have a salt-like taste. Potassium chloride can be obtained from ancient dried lake deposits. [7]

  4. Sessile drop technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessile_drop_technique

    This method is designed to be robust where the other methods don't even provide any results in particular. As such, it is indispensable, since it is the only way to use the sessile drop technique on very high surface energy solids. Its major drawback is the fact that it is far more complex, both in its mathematics and experimentally.

  5. Non-random two-liquid model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-random_two-liquid_model

    VLE of the mixture of chloroform and methanol plus NRTL fit and extrapolation to different pressures. The non-random two-liquid model [1] (abbreviated NRTL model) is an activity coefficient model introduced by Renon and Prausnitz in 1968 that correlates the activity coefficients of a compound with its mole fractions in the liquid phase concerned.

  6. Glass electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_electrode

    For long-term in situ measurements, it is critical to minimize the KCl leak from the reference electrode compartment (Ag / AgCl / KCl 3 M), and to use glycerol-free electrodes [8] to avoid fuelling microbial growth, and to prevent unexpected but severe perturbations related to bacterial activity (pH decrease due to sulfate-reducing bacteria, or ...

  7. Activity coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_coefficient

    In thermodynamics, an activity coefficient is a factor used to account for deviation of a mixture of chemical substances from ideal behaviour. [1] In an ideal mixture, the microscopic interactions between each pair of chemical species are the same (or macroscopically equivalent, the enthalpy change of solution and volume variation in mixing is zero) and, as a result, properties of the mixtures ...

  8. Potassium chlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chlorate

    Thus, it may be simply placed in a test tube and heated over a burner. If the test tube is equipped with a one-holed stopper and hose, warm oxygen can be drawn off. The reaction is as follows: 2 KClO 3 (s) + MnO 2 (cat) → 3 O 2 (g) + 2 KCl(s) Heating it in the absence of a catalyst converts it into potassium perchlorate: [8] 4 KClO 3 → 3 ...

  9. Salt bridge - Wikipedia

    The rolled filter paper is then soaked in an appropriate inert salt solution. [7] A straw can be used to shape the rolled filter paper into a U-shaped tube, providing mechanical strength to the soaked filter paper. [7] [8] This filter paper can now be used to act as a salt bridge and connect the two half-cells. [7]
