Best Answer

The first practical use of carbon dioxide can be traced to an invention made by English chemist Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) in the mid-1700s. Priestley found that by dissolving carbon dioxide in water he could produce a fresh, sparkling beverage with a pleasant flavor. Since Priestley's discovery lacks only sugar and flavoring to make it a modern soda pop or cola drink, he can properly be called the father of the soft drink industry.

Is chlorine solid liquid or gas?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- At normal conditions of temperature and pressure chlorine is a gas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chlorine is not a solid, those tablets you get for your pool are not elemental chlorine. They are often hypochlorites (bleaches), but can be many different chemicals that allow introduction of chlorine into the pool water. You can liquefy chlorine at about -30C (not much colder than your freezer), and freeze it at about -100C. But if you happened to have found a bucket full of chlorine sitting around, it'd be a gas.

What are chlorine and mustard gases?

Chlorine and Mustard gas are gaseous chemical compounds that are highly toxic to humans. They were both used as weapons during the First World War and both compounds were favored by the Central powers. Chlorine gas was the first chemical weapon used in the war at the second battle of Ypres. It was released from large tanks and allowed to drift towards Allied positions. Chlorine is heavier than air and thus stays close to ground level, making it very effective in trench warfare. Mustard gas was not commonly used in such a massive release and was most often deployed via artillery bombardment. Mustard gas blisters the lungs and other exposed areas and is generally more lethal than chlorine. Like all chemical weapons, mustard and chlorine gas are considered prohibited weapons under the Geneva conventions.


What charge does chlorine gas have?
