Chemistry Questions

The acid used in lead storage cells is Sulphuric acid. They are used car batteries. Lead-acid batteries are capable of being recharged, which is important for their use in cars.

Rust forms when oxygen reacts with chemicals in rocks, and that is often the case with many other elements in general. Like a copper nail being exposed to the air will rust.

Phencyclidine (PCP) is a drug used for its mind-altering effects. It is also known as Angel dust. As a recreational drug, it is typically smoked, but may be taken by mouth, snorted, or injected. It may also be mixed with cannabis or tobacco.

Causes and Effects ::

* PCP may cause hallucinations, distorted perceptions of sounds, and violent behavior.

* Its effects include seizures, coma, addiction, and an increased risk of suicide.

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms activities.

Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.

The overall balanced equation is

              $$\begin{gathered} 6CO2 + 6H2O →Sunlight C6H12O6 + 6O2 \\ Source of Carbon & Oxygen + \\ Source of Electrons & Hydrogen + \\ Energy that drives Photosynthesis ----> \\ Sugar + Gas produced by splitting water. \end{gathered}$$

Where 

CO2 = carbon dioxide 

H2O = water

C6H12O6 = glucose 

O2 = oxygen.

Chemical Compounds with stronger intermolecular forces have higher boiling points.

The order of strengths of intermolecular forces is:

 London dispersion < dipole-dipole < H-bonding

${\text{Methane (CH}}_{\mathrm{4)}}$ — London dispersion forces

${\text{Dimethyl ether (CH}}_3{\text{OCH}}_{\mathrm{3)}}$ — dipole-dipole attractions

${\text{Methanol (CH}}_3\text{OH)}$ — hydrogen bonding

Therefore, ${\text{Methanol -}}^{}$${\text{CH}}_3\text{OH}$$\text{with H-Bonding have highest Boiling Point among the given chemical compounds.}$

A mixture is the blending of two or more dissimilar substances.

Characteristics of a Mixture:

1. It has No formula.

2. It is an impure sustance

3. They can be mixed in any ratio.

4. The properties of the mixture are the properties of its constituents.

5. Constituents can e easily seperated by physical methods.
eg: Heating, Drying, Crystallization, Distillation etc...

6. It is either homogenous or heterogenous.

A major characteristic of mixtures is that the materials do not chemically combine. Mixtures can be divided into those that are evenly distributed (homogeneous) and those that aren't (heterogeneous).

Silicon carbide is used in Cutting very hard substances.

Stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 82% steel
