Polyethylene Chemical Resistance Chart CDF Technical Memo Number 1 July 2004 Polyethylene Chemical Resistance Chart CDF Corporation uses only the highest quality raw materials available. These raw materials have out- standing resistance to both physical and chemical attack. The following chart should be used as a guide for evaluating the suitability of our products with the chemical agent you plan to use. Special considera- tion must be given to the expected service temperature, stress involved in the application, as well as the length and type of exposure (i.e. intermittent or continuous).

  • Cool Reaction the Endothermic Reaction Between SCIENTIFIC Barium Hydroxide and Ammonium Thiocyanate
    Cool Reaction The Endothermic Reaction Between SCIENTIFIC Barium Hydroxide and Ammonium Thiocyanate Introduction Many reactions produce heat, in fact when people think of chemical reactions, heat production is often expected. However, endothermic reactions, reactions which consume heat, can be just as exciting. One of the most striking examples of this is when the solids barium hydroxide and ammonium thiocyanate are mixed together in a beaker. Materials Ammonium thiocyanate, NH4SCN, 10 g Stirring rod Barium hydroxide octahydrate, Ba(OH)28H2O, 20 g Thermometer graduated to at least –30 °C Erlenmeyer flask, small, with stopper, or a 50-mL beaker Safety Precautions Barium salts are toxic by ingestion. Ammonium thiocyanate is also toxic by ingestion. Use caution when handling the beaker or flask. Use tongs if available. The temperatures involved are cold enough to freeze skin. Ammonia vapor is very irritating to eyes and the respiratory tract. Do not allow students to inhale this gas. Wear chemical splash goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, and a chemical-resistant apron. Please review current Material Safety Data Sheets for additional safety, handling, and disposal information. Procedure 1. Transfer 20 g of barium hydroxide and 10 g of ammonium thiocyanate to a flask and mix with a glass or plastic stirring rod. 2. In less than two minutes the solids become liquid. A thermometer placed in the mixture shows the temperature falling far below freezing. An ammonia odor is evident to all who are near the flask. 3. Place the flask in a small puddle of water and your students will clearly see just how cool this reaction is; the water will freeze the flask to the counter top.

  • Writing Total and Net Ionic Equations
    WRITING TOTAL AND NET IONIC EQUATIONS http://www.csun.edu/~hcchm001/FreshChemHandouts.html 1. Write the overall equation including the correct designations for the physical state of the substances (s, l, g, aq). Balance this equation. Most of these kinds of equations are double displacement reactions: AX + BY 6 AY + BX 2. For the total ionic equations, write strong electrolytes in solution in the form of aqueous ions. (a) Strong acids. The common strong acids and their aqueous ions are: HI Hydroiodic acid H+-(aq) + I (aq) HBr Hydrobromic acid H+-(aq) + Br (aq) HCl Hydrochloric acid H+-(aq) + Cl (aq) +- HNO33Nitric acid H (aq) + NO (aq) +- HClO44Perchloric acid H (aq) + ClO (aq) +-2 H24SO Sulfuric acid 2 H (aq) + SO4(aq) (b) Strong bases. Strong bases are the hydroxides of the alkali (Group IA) and alkaline earth (Group IIA) metals ions which are sufficiently soluble. The common strong bases and their aqueous ions are: LiOH Lithium hydroxide Li+-(aq) + OH (aq) NaOH Sodium hydroxide Na+-(aq) + OH (aq) KOH Potassium hydroxide K+-(aq) + OH (aq) +2 - Sr(OH)2Strontium hydroxide Sr (aq) + 2 OH (aq) +2 - Ba(OH)2 Barium hydroxide Ba (aq) + 2 OH (aq) (c) Soluble salts. Determinations of the solubility of a salt may be made by reference to SOLUBILITIES OF IONIC COMPOUNDS. Soluble salts are written as their aqueous ions: NaCl(aq) Sodium chloride Na+-(aq) + Cl (aq) +-2 K24SO (aq) Potassium sulfate 2 K (aq) + SO4(aq) +-2 Li23CO (aq) Lithium carbonate 2 Li (aq) + CO3(aq) +-3 Na34PO (aq) Sodium phosphate 3 Na (aq) + PO4(aq) +-2 (NH42) SO4(aq) Ammonium sulfate 2 NH4(aq) + SO4 (aq) 3.

  • Conductivity and Density of Chromic Acid Solutions
    ; RP198 CONDUCTIVITY AND DENSITY OF CHROMIC ACID SOLU- TIONS By H. R. Moore and W. Blum ABSTRACT The conductivity and density of chromic acid solutions were determined (<*r concentrations to molar up 10 (1,000 g/1 of Cr03 ). The density is practically a linear function of concentration. The conductivity increases to a maximum at about 5 molar and then decreases. CONTENTS Page I. Introduction 255 II.

INTRODUCTION This study is a step in an investigation of the theory of chromium plating. The solutions used in this process have chromic acid as their principal constituent. In addition, they contain some other anion, such as the sulphate ion, which is introduced as sulphuric acid or as a sulphate. During operation there is always formed in the bath some trivalent chromium, commonly supposed to exist as "chromium chromates" of undefined composition. The ultimate purpose of this research is to determine the form and function of the sulphate and trivalent chromium in such solutions. The effects of these constituents upon the density and conductivity of chromic acid will they throw light on this problem. ; be measured to see whether First, however, it was necessary to determine the density and con- ductivity of pure chromic-acid solutions to serve as a basis of refer- ence.

BARIUM AND BARIUM COMPOUNDS iii UPDATE STATEMENT A Toxicological Profile for Barium and Barium Compounds, Draft for Public Comment was released in September 2005. This edition supersedes any previously released draft or final profile. Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine/Applied Toxicology Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE Mailstop F-32 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 BARIUM AND BARIUM COMPOUNDS iv This page is intentionally blank. v FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced.
