catalytic cracking; the use of liquid oil vapour, over a bed of aluminium silica, including some steam pumped through too

(it doesnt join well, i got a dodgy memory of it )

 

[Jaydels]

cation- positively charged ion

 

[Emma-Jayde]

lol yeah! It gets pretty amusing tho!!
cell potential: the difference in potential between the two electrodes of a cell

 

[lfc_reds2003]

L

Lavoisier- throught all acids contained oxygen!

 

[Emma-Jayde]

reversible reaction: a chemical reaction that can proceed in either direction.

 

[lfc_reds2003]

N

naming alkanols lol - follow IUPAC nomenclature

 

[Jaydels]

non-destructive analysis- analysis where sample is recoverable

 

[Dreamerish*~]

lol!

lactic acid = comes from milk

 

[lfc_reds2003]

D

domestic smoke alarm - use americium 241

 

[Emma-Jayde]

Distillation: A process which leads to the separation of a mixture of liquid chemicals

 

[Dreamerish*~]

i always get n!

nanotechnology = in future, it might make drinks so that everyone buys the same drink, but you program your flavours into it. i read it reader's digest
dunno if it's chem.

 

[Jaydels]

not y again!

ytterbium- element no 70

 

[Slidey]

Nanotechnology certainly is chemistry! It's the biggest technology you're likely to see in your lifetime. It's synergistic with biotechnology, since mother nature is the best nanotechnologist! (just look at yourself for a reason why).

It ranges from photvoltaics to cosmetics to food production to medicine, with this being an obviously non-exhaustive list.

 

[Dreamerish*~]

LOL omg i'm sorry.

mass number = number of neutrons + number of protons

 

[Slidey]

mechanochemistry - mechanics of molcules and such

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanochemistry

Related to nanotechnology. Could possibly lead to non-enzymatic molecular self-assembly.

 

[lfc_reds2003]

R:

reductant - causes reduction, undergoes oxidation itself!

 

[Will Hunting]

Hows about the 'e' from 'stratosphere'?
Equilibria:The plural form of "equilibrium".

Yttrium, Element with atomic number.... wouldn't have a clue!

 

[Dreamerish*~]

Tetrahedral structure = eg. methane, where 4 atoms are connected to a central atom and the charges are balanced.

 

[Jaydels]

emulsion- dispersion of small droplets of one liquid throughout another liquid

 

[Emma-Jayde]

enthalpy change: the heat lost or absorbed by a system in a reaction
