  2. Caffenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffenol

    Caffenol is a photographic alternative process whereby phenols, sodium carbonate and optionally vitamin C are used in aqueous solution as a film and print photographic developer. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Other basic (as opposed to acidic ) chemicals can be used in place of sodium carbonate; however, sodium carbonate is the most common.

    The smallest particles of gases are not necessarily simple atoms, but are made up of a certain number of these atoms united by attraction to form a single molecule. Note that this quote is not a literal translation. Avogadro uses the name "molecule" for both atoms and molecules.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_coffee

    Instant coffee in a concentrated liquid form, as a beverage, is also manufactured. Advantages of instant coffee include speed of preparation (instant coffee dissolves quickly in hot water), lower shipping weight and volume than beans or ground coffee (to prepare the same amount of beverage), and long shelf life —though instant coffee can ...

    An image from John Dalton's A New System of Chemical Philosophy, the first modern explanation of atomic theory.. This timeline of chemistry lists important works, discoveries, ideas, inventions, and experiments that significantly changed humanity's understanding of the modern science known as chemistry, defined as the scientific study of the composition of matter and of its interactions.

  7. Avogadro's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro's_Law

    Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules." [1] For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are constant.

  8. Gasoline pill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_pill

    Based on the above equation, a pill that turns a kilogram of water into gasoline would need to contain 592.60 grams of carbon. The claims discussed here do not address the source of carbon needed to make up the balance , and instead propose that just a small amount of X would suffice, which is impossible due to conservation of mass .

    Berthollet first produced a modern bleaching liquid in 1789 by passing chlorine gas through a solution of sodium carbonate – the result was a weak solution of sodium hypochlorite. Another strong chlorine oxidant and bleach which he investigated and was the first to produce, potassium chlorate (KClO 3 ), is known as Berthollet's Salt.
