  2. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    Deliquescence is the process by which a substance absorbs moisture from the atmosphere until it dissolves in the absorbed water and forms a solution. Deliquescence occurs when the vapour pressure of the solution that is formed is less than the partial pressure of water vapour in the air.

  3. Hygroscopic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopic_cycle

    The selection of hygroscopic salts have to provide the following strict criteria in order to be of interest of use in the hygroscopic cycle: Highly hygroscopic compounds, deliquescent materials; Less volatile than water (vapor pressure lower than water), with easily reversible desorption into water and steam in the boiler

  4. Efflorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efflorescence

    Primary efflorescence is named such, as it typically occurs during the initial cure of a cementitious product. It often occurs on masonry construction, particularly brick, as well as some firestop mortars, when water moving through a wall or other structure, or water being driven out as a result of the heat of hydration as cement stone is being formed, brings salts to the surface that are not ...

    Secondly, Dessication has very little to do with Deliquescence, in spite of how many deliquescent materials are use for dessication. Dessication is a process for removing water; Deliquescence is a property of certain molecules. Merging would just provide confusion to viewers of the encyclopedia.

  6. Potassium dichromate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_dichromate

    After thorough washing and exposure to actinic light, the film can be redeveloped to its end-point yielding a stronger negative which is able to produce a more satisfactory print. A potassium dichromate solution in sulfuric acid can be used to produce a reversal negative (that is, a positive transparency from a negative film).

  7. Iron(III) chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_chloride

    The polymeric species formed by the hydrolysis of ferric chlorides are key to the use of ferric chloride for water treatment. In contrast to the complicated behavior of its aqueous solutions, solutions of iron(III) chloride in diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran are well-behaved. Both ethers form 1:2 adducts of the general formula FeCl 3 (ether ...

  8. The Clitoris And The Body - The Huffington Post

    projects.huffingtonpost.com/cliteracy/anatomy

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

  9. Contractile vacuole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contractile_vacuole

    The stage in which water flows into the CV is called diastole. The contraction of the contractile vacuole and the expulsion of water out of the cell is called systole. Water always flows first from outside the cell into the cytoplasm, and is only then moved from the cytoplasm into the contractile vacuole for expulsion. Species that possess a ...
