  2. Nickel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel

    Nickel foam or nickel mesh is used in gas diffusion electrodes for alkaline fuel cells. [96] [97] Nickel and its alloys are often used as catalysts for hydrogenation reactions. Raney nickel, a finely divided nickel-aluminium alloy, is one common form, though related catalysts are also used, including Raney-type catalysts. [98]

  3. Nickel compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_compounds

    A binary compound of nickel contains one other element. Substances that contain only nickel atoms are not actually compounds. In a noble gas matrix, nickel can form dimers, a molecule with two nickel atoms: Ni 2. [1] Ni 2 has a bonding energy of 2.07±0.01 eV. For Ni 2 + the bond energy is around 3.3 eV. Nickel dimers and other clusters can ...

  4. Mond process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mond_process

    2. The impure nickel reacts with carbon monoxide at 50–60 °C to form the gas nickel carbonyl, leaving the impurities as solids. Ni(s) + 4 CO(g) → Ni(CO) 4 (g) 3. The mixture of nickel carbonyl and syngas is heated to 220–250 °C, resulting in decomposition back to nickel and carbon monoxide: Ni(CO) 4 (g) → Ni(s) + 4 CO(g)

  5. Pyrophoricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophoricity

    A substance is pyrophoric (from Ancient Greek: πυροφόρος, pyrophoros, 'fire-bearing') if it ignites spontaneously in air at or below 54 °C (129 °F) (for gases) or within 5 minutes after coming into contact with air (for liquids and solids). [1] Examples are organolithium compounds and triethylborane.

  6. Chemical substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_substance

    A chemical substance is a unique form of matter with constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. [1] [2] Chemical substances may take the form of a single element or chemical compounds. If two or more chemical substances can be combined without reacting, they may form a chemical mixture. [3]

  7. Gas composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_composition

    The Gas composition of any gas can be characterised by listing the pure substances it contains, and stating for each substance its proportion of the gas mixture's molecule count.Nitrogen N 2 78.084 Oxygen O 2 20.9476 Argon Ar 0.934 Carbon Dioxide CO 2 0.0314

  8. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately. Blue type items have an article available by ...

  9. Mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture

    [8] [9] Mixtures differ from chemical compounds in the following ways: The substances in a mixture can be separated using physical methods such as filtration, freezing, and distillation. There is little or no energy change when a mixture forms (see Enthalpy of mixing). The substances in a mixture keep their separate properties.
