Why are high and low pH materials considered hazardous?
They are considered to be highly reactive/ caustic - generally speaking a acid (<7pH) and a base (>7pH) combine together to make a relatively neutral salt (~7pH).
Why cesium stored in argon gas?
the answer is: because it reacts with low temperatures of water at -115 degrees Celsius.
Where do you buy your chemicals from and how quick is the shipping?
I buy my research chemicals from Syntharise.com and they ship with 24 hours and ship worldwide depending on where you're located. They include the H-NMR which is a bonus. Nice selection of rare chems for a low price and Pagoclone is one of them.
Which soap works better - one with lots of suds or one with low suds?
Suds indicate that there is a surfactant in the soap, a chemical, that helps make the suds. Low suds soaps/detergents are better, as they will clean your hands, body, clothes, what have you, just as well as one with lots of suds, but with fewer chemicals and with less time spent rinsing off the suds.
Why is it impossible to cantain gaseous iron in a glass container?
As iron only exists as a gas above 2862 °C (5182 °F), it would melt ordinary glass.
Does nabisco still make low fat ritz crackers?
Low Fat Ritz crackers are still on the shelves of my local grocery, so I guess they do.
A microscope should be stored with the objective in place?
It should be stored with the low-power objective in place.
How would the pH of a cleaner that contains caustic soda best be described?
A cleaner containing caustic soda would be described as basic, and its pH would be low, like 2 or so. Caustic soda is a pretty active (strong) base. Compare this to the pH of a neutral substance, which is 7, or an acid which is greater than 7, and the higher it is, the stronger the acid.
Why a microscope should be stored in low power objective lens?
A microscope should be stored in low power objective lens because the lens can scratch against the lens.
How long is 223 ammunition good for?
Stored in moderate temperatures and low humidity, ammunition can be stored for decades.
Where should supplies on board a small boat be stored?
low i think?
What is multiple chemical sensitivity?
MCS is supposed to be an allergy to chemicals at low concentrations.
What do plants do with stored starch?
They use it for respiration to release energy.
Why is glass a good substances for storing chemicals?
Glass is unreactive with most chemicals. It is also very stable - not deforming, melting, or degrading with time. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (~3 × 10−6 /°C at 20°C), making them resistant to thermal shock, more so than any other common glass. Such glass is less subject to thermal stress and is commonly used for the construction of reagent bottles. Glass also tends to be clear, which makes it easier to determine what is inside the container. There are some chemicals that cannot be stored in glass because the react with it - such as hydrofluoric acid. Other chemicals are not stored in glass because as they decompose, they release gasses that can build up in pressure to the point that they will burst the container. Of course glass does not usually have enough tensile strength to contain gases under pressure. Some chemicals are photoreactive - i.e. they decompose, polymerize or otherwise react when exposed to light. Since most glass is clear, such chemicals are usually better stored in opaque containers.
Why should aerated drinks always be stored at a low temperature?
for as much time as possible
Is enriched bleached flour bad for low carbohydrate high fiber diets?
Yes, this is because when somethinc has been bleached it adds chemicals and the chemicals add carbs.
What mineral is stored in bones and released into the blood when levels become low?
you have about 640 muscles that you control
