  2. Nitric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_acid

    This solution has a boiling temperature of 120.5 °C (249 °F) at 1 atm. It is known as "concentrated nitric acid". The azeotrope of nitric acid and water is a colourless liquid at room temperature. Two solid hydrates are known: the monohydrate HNO 3 ·H 2 O or oxonium nitrate [H 3 O] + [NO 3] − and the trihydrate HNO 3 ·3H 2 O.

  3. Standard temperature and pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_temperature_and...

    Since 1982, STP has been defined as a temperature of 273.15 K (0 °C, 32 °F) and an absolute pressure of exactly 10 5 Pa (100 kPa, 1 bar). NIST uses a temperature of 20 °C (293.15 K, 68 °F) and an absolute pressure of 1 atm (14.696 psi, 101.325 kPa). [ 3 ] This standard is also called normal temperature and pressure (abbreviated as NTP).

  4. Closed system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_system

    In classical mechanics. In nonrelativistic classical mechanics, a closed system is a physical system that does not exchange any matter with its surroundings, and is not subject to any net force whose source is external to the system. [1][2] A closed system in classical mechanics would be equivalent to an isolated system in thermodynamics.

  5. Bar (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit)

    0.986923 atm. The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), though not part of the International System of Units (SI). A pressure of 1 bar is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level (approximately 1.013 bar). [1][2] By the barometric formula, 1 bar is roughly the atmospheric ...

  6. TNT equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent

    TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion.The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules (1 gigacalorie), [1] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of TNT.

Temperature (°C) Pressure (kPa) H of liquid (J/g) Δ vapH (J/g) Wvap (J/g) ρ of vapor (kg/m 3) Data in the table above is given for water–steam equilibria at various temperatures over the entire temperature range at which liquid water can exist. Pressure of the equilibrium is given in the second column in k Pa.

  8. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It absorbs and emits infrared radiation at its two infrared-active vibrational frequencies. The two wavelengths are 4.26 μm (2,347 cm −1) (asymmetric stretching vibrational mode) and 14.99 μm (667 cm −1) (bending vibrational mode).

  9. MKS units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mks_units

    The metre, kilogram, second system of units, also known more briefly as MKS units or the MKS system, [1][2][3] is a physical system of measurement based on the metre, kilogram, and second (MKS) as base units. Distances are described in terms of metres, mass in terms of kilograms and time in seconds. Derived units are defined using the ...
