Gas blending is the process of mixing gases for a specific purpose where the composition of the resulting mixture is defined, and therefore, controlled. A wide range of applications include scientific and industrial processes, food production and storage and breathing gases.
Pyrrhotite, an example of a non-stoichiometric inorganic compound, with formula Fe 1−x S (x = 0 to 0.2). The monosulfides of the transition metals are often nonstoichiometric. Best known perhaps is nominally iron(II) sulfide (the mineral pyrrhotite) with a composition Fe 1−x S (x = 0 to 0.2).
Like a metallic element it can, for example, form a solvated cation in aqueous solution; [143] it can substitute for alkali metals in compounds such as the chlorides (NaCl cf. HCl) and nitrates (KNO 3 cf. HNO 3), and in certain alkali metal complexes [144] [145] as a nonmetal. [146]
A thermite mixture using iron(III) oxide. Thermite (/ ˈ θ ɜːr m aɪ t /) [1] is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder and metal oxide. When ignited by heat or chemical reaction, thermite undergoes an exothermic reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction. Most varieties are not explosive, but can create brief bursts of heat and high ...
Although most metal oxides are crystalline solids, many non-metal oxides are molecules. Examples of molecular oxides are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. All simple oxides of nitrogen are molecular, e.g., NO, N 2 O, NO 2 and N 2 O 4. Phosphorus pentoxide is a more complex molecular oxide with a deceptive name, the real formula being P 4 O 10.
Liquid phase of MON contains no nitric oxide. [2] N 2 O 4 ⇌ 2NO 2. NO 2 + NO ⇌ N 2 O 3. A broad range of compositions is available, and can be denoted as MONi, where i represents the percentage of nitric oxide in the mixture (e.g. MON3 contains 3% nitric oxide, MON25 25% nitric oxide). An upper limit is MON40 (40% by weight).
The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties.All elemental metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metallic elements; and have at least one basic oxide.
Sometimes carbothermic reactions are coupled to other conversions. One example is the chloride process for separating titanium from ilmenite, the main ore of titanium. In this process, a mixture of carbon and the crushed ore is heated at 1000 °C under flowing chlorine gas, giving titanium tetrachloride: 2 FeTiO 3 + 7 Cl 2 + 6 C → 2 TiCl 4 ...
