liquid plastic resin

It is a simple pressure gauge and it measures differences in pressure exerted at the two ends of the apparatus. It is called manometer. The mouth of a thistle funnel is tightly covered with a thin plastic shee..

We can investigate pressure in a liquid by using the apparatus shown in figure belo..

It is prepared by placing a layer of transparent plastic (sheet of vinyl acetate resin) between two layers of glass and sealing the layers with adhesive..

Some halides of carbon find wide use in industry. For example, Carbon tetrachloride is used as a fire extinguisher under the name pyrene. Carbon tetrachloride is a common solvent for plastics, resins etc. Freon (CF 2 Cl 2 ) is used as a refrigerant..

Static Electricity - Static electricity was known to people more than 2500 years ago. The Greeks knew about the attractive property of the resin amber. They knew that by rubbing amber with cloth, it could be made to attract small feathers. The Greek name for amber was 'elektron'. After ab..

Polyethylene or Polythene - Polythene is formed by the addition polymerization of multiple monomers of ethylene or ethene. When liquid ethylene is polymerized at high temperature and pressure, a resin of polyethylene is obtained. It can be melted spun or moulded as desired. Note..

Polymerization - is the process of formation of large molecules or macromolecules with high molecular weight from small molecules. 'Poly' means many and 'meros' means parts in Greek. The simple compounds from which these macromolecules are made are called monomers . When two monomers combine, a dim..

Substances whose constituents are not arranged in an orderly manner are called amorphous solids. They are also called pseudo solids and differ from crystalline solids in many respects. The common examples of amorphous solids are glass, rubber, fused silica, plastics, etc. They have the ..

Methanol - Methanol CH 3 OH also known as wood alcohol can be produced by destructive distillation of wood. Today methanol is chemically produced by catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide at high pressure and temperature and in presence of Cu, Zn, Cr 2 O 3 catalys..

Ammonia solutions are used to clean, bleach, and deodorize; to etch aluminum; to saponify (hydrolyze) oils and fats; and in chemical manufacture. Ammonia is also used in large amounts in the Ostwald process for the synthesis of nitric acid; in the Solvay process for the synthesis of sodium car..
