What is gas absorption?
GAS ABSORPTION: The process of wholly taking in one substance into other through the pores or interstices is called gas absorption. EXAMPLE:When hydrogen chloride gas is passed through water it gets absorped to form hydrochloric acid ans by m.fahim
What is hot end corrosion in boilers?
One of the problems with heat recovery boilers behind incinerators of solid,liquid or municipal solid wastes is high temperature corrosion associated with the formation of complex eutectics which have a low melting point and deposit as slag on boiler heating surfaces.This is difficult to get rid of and results in high temperature corrosion,fouling problems and consequent higher exit gas temperature from the boiler and consequent lower steam generation.Another concern in these applications is the presence of corrosive gases such as chlorine and hydrogen chloride,which corrode the boiler tubes,particularly those operating above 800 F,resulting in tube thinning and failure
Will hydrogen gas corrode a bourdon tube?
Hydrogen is not a corrosive gas; but the hydrogen absorbed in metals may lead to the formation of metal hydrides and to embrittlement.
The test for hydrogen consists of?
Put a light splint into a test tube containing hydrogen. If it pops its hydrogen if not something else. But make sure there oxygen in the test tube too or else the hydrogen wont react with Oxygen to produce water (this reaction causes the pop sound)
How many hydrogen atoms in 3NH?
Although 3NH is not a normal molecule, if it did exist, it would have 3 atoms of each, nitrogen and hydrogen.
What has the author Mervyn Colin Witherspoon written?
Mervyn Colin Witherspoon has written: 'Investigations with noble metal electrodes of cathodic hydrogen evolution and absorption'
Why does corrosion build up on batteries?
Hydrogen gas escaping from the battery causes this corrosion.
What is hydrogen evolution?
I guess you are thinking of the production of hydrogen by electrolysis of water. In this process we talk of the hydrogen being 'evolved'. It is nothing to do with Darwinian evolution
Why would a metal corrode more quickly in a salt water than distilled water?
In a medium of lower pH (acidic), the rate of corrosion is high. If the pH of medium is below 3 (approximately), even in absence of air severe corrosion takes place due to rapid evolution of hydrogen at cathodic areas, facilitating anodic oxidation of the metal and dissociation of corrosion product, exposing fresh metal surface for corrosion. In distilled water (pH about 7), rate of corrosion is relatively lower.
How do astronomers know that hydrogen is present in almost every star in the universe?
They detect the absorption lines consistent with hydrogen.
What is the second longest wavelength in the absorption spectrum of hydrogen?
97.26 nm
The corrosion of the metal is an example of?
A reaction with oxygen, water, hydrogen sulphide, acids, bases
Many mammals control their body temperature by sweating Which property of water is most directly responsible for the ability of sweat to lower body temperature?
the absorption of heat by the breaking of hydrogen bonds
What can you determine from reacting a metal with acid?
The reaction between a metal and acids is a characteristic for each pair metal-acid; the study of this type of reactions improve our knowledge about the chemical properties of metals and very important technologically - information about the resistance to corrosion in acidic media.
How do you describe hydrogen?
Hydrogen is the lightest known, diatomic gas with formula: H2
How do you test for evolution of hydrogen gas?
place a lit splint into a test tube if you hear a squeaky pop sound it is hydrogen.
Why hydrogen gas have large no of lines?
The fraunhofer (absorption) and excitation spectrum of hydrogen has lines for each energy level that electrons can pass from one excitation stat to another.
