  2. Diethyl ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethyl_ether

    The autoignition temperature of diethyl ether is 160 °C (320 °F). The diffusion of diethyl ether in air is 9.18 × 10 −6 m 2 /s (298 K, 101.325 kPa). [citation needed] Ether is sensitive to light and air, tending to form explosive peroxides. [19] Ether peroxides have a higher boiling point than ether and are contact explosives when dry. [19]

    A water miscible solvent often found in lithium batteries (b.p. 85 °C): Dioxane: A cyclic ether and high-boiling solvent (b.p. 101.1 °C). Tetrahydrofuran (THF) A cyclic ether, one of the most polar simple ethers that is used as a solvent. Anisole (methoxybenzene) An aryl ether and a major constituent of the essential oil of anise seed.

  4. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    The color temperature scale describes only the color of light emitted by a light source, which may actually be at a different (and often much lower) temperature. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Color temperature has applications in lighting , [ 3 ] photography , [ 4 ] videography , [ 5 ] publishing , [ 6 ] manufacturing , [ 7 ] astrophysics , [ 8 ] and other fields.

  5. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Water is a tasteless, odorless liquid at ambient temperature and pressure. Liquid water has weak absorption bands at wavelengths of around 750 nm which cause it to appear to have a blue color. [4] This can easily be observed in a water-filled bath or wash-basin whose lining is white.

  6. 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 ...

    Material Safety Data Sheet. The handling of this chemical may incur notable safety precautions. It is highly recommended that you seek the Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS) for this chemical from a reliable source such as SIRI, and follow its directions. MSDS for diethyl ether is available at Mallinckrodt Baker.

  8. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    Water for bathing may be maintained in satisfactory microbiological condition using chemical disinfectants such as chlorine or ozone or by the use of ultraviolet light. Water reclamation is the process of converting wastewater (most commonly sewage, also called municipal wastewater) into water that can be reused for other purposes.

  9. Petroleum ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_ether

    Petroleum ether is the petroleum fraction consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons and boiling in the range 35–60 °C, and commonly used as a laboratory solvent. [4] Despite the name, petroleum ether is not an ether ; the term is used only figuratively, signifying extreme lightness and volatility.
