  2. Degassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degassing

    The solubility of gas obeys Henry's law, that is, the amount of a dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure. Therefore, placing a solution under reduced pressure makes the dissolved gas less soluble. Sonication and stirring under reduced pressure can usually enhance the efficiency.

  3. Soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil

    Water is a critical agent in soil development due to its involvement in the dissolution, precipitation, erosion, transport, and deposition of the materials of which a soil is composed. [39] The mixture of water and dissolved or suspended materials that occupy the soil pore space is called the soil solution. Since soil water is never pure water ...

  4. Soil gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_gas

    Soil gases (soil atmosphere [1]) are the gases found in the air space between soil components. The spaces between the solid soil particles, if they do not contain water, are filled with air. The primary soil gases are nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. [2] Oxygen is critical because it allows for respiration of both plant roots and soil ...

  5. Liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefaction

    As an example of the latter, a "major commercial application of liquefaction is the liquefaction of air to allow separation of the constituents, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and the noble gases." [ 4 ] Another is the conversion of solid coal into a liquid form usable as a substitute for liquid fuels.

  6. Liquefaction of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefaction_of_gases

    Liquefaction of gases is physical conversion of a gas into a liquid state (condensation). The liquefaction of gases is a complicated process that uses various compressions and expansions to achieve high pressures and very low temperatures, using, for example, turboexpanders .

  7. Henry's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry's_law

    The molality of a solution does not change with , since it refers to the mass of the solvent. In contrast, the concentration does change with , since the density of a solution and thus its volume are temperature-dependent. Defining the aqueous-phase composition via molality has the advantage that any temperature dependence of the Henry's law ...

  8. Miscibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscibility

    Diesel fuel is immiscible in water.The bright rainbow pattern is the result of thin-film interference.. Miscibility (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ b ɪ l ɪ t i /) is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution).

    Gas: Gas Gas mixture: air (oxygen and other gases in nitrogen) not possible: Liquid: Aerosol: fog, mist, vapor, hair sprays, moisted air Aerosol: rain (also produces rainbows by refraction on water droplets) Solid: Solid aerosol: smoke, cloud, air particulates: Solid aerosol: dust, sand storm, ice fog, pyroclastic flow: Gas Liquid Oxygen in water
