  2. Volatility (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The most volatile chemical condense at the top of the column while the least volatile chemicals to vaporize condense in the lowest portion. [1] On the right is a picture illustrating the design of a distillation tower. The difference in volatility between water and ethanol has traditionally been used in the refinement of drinking alcohol.

  3. Reactive flash volatilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_flash_volatilization

    As shown in the diagram at the right, the initial pyrolysis chemistry occurs when the biomass particle (green) physically contacts the hot catalyst (orange). Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) flow into the catalyst with oxygen, adsorb on Rh atoms, and react to form combustion products (H 2 O and CO 2) and syngas (H 2 and CO). After this initial ...

  4. Volatile organic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_organic_compound

    Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic compounds that have a high vapor pressure at room temperature. [1] They are common and exist in a variety of settings and products, not limited to house mold , upholstered furniture , arts and crafts supplies, dry cleaned clothing, and cleaning supplies . [ 2 ]

  5. Steam distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_distillation

    Steam distillation is a separation process that consists of distilling water together with other volatile and non-volatile components. The steam from the boiling water carries the vapor of the volatiles to a condenser; both are cooled and return to the liquid or solid state, while the non-volatile residues remain behind in the boiling container.

  6. Boiling-point elevation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling-point_elevation

    Boiling-point elevation is the phenomenon whereby the boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when another compound is added, meaning that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent. This happens whenever a non-volatile solute, such as a salt, is added to a pure solvent, such as water.

  7. Raoult's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoult's_law

    Raoult's law (/ ˈ r ɑː uː l z / law) is a relation of physical chemistry, with implications in thermodynamics.Proposed by French chemist François-Marie Raoult in 1887, [1] [2] it states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component (liquid or solid) multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture.

  8. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H 2 O.It is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, [c] and nearly colorless chemical substance.It is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent [20]).

  9. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    The polarized form of the water molecule, H + OH −, is also called hydron hydroxide by IUPAC nomenclature. [106] Water substance is a rare term used for H 2 O when one does not wish to specify the phase of matter (liquid water, water vapor, some form of ice, or a component in a mixture) though the term "water" is also used with this general ...
