35
Q

40
Q

Isothermal Compression/Expansion

A

If compression or expansion occurs with a gas with no change in temperature of the gas then the process is called isothermal and Boyles Law is applied. This can only occur if any additional heat is removed during compression or expansion to maintain a constant temperature.

41
Q

Adiabatic Compression/Expansion

A

Can only occur when a gas is totally insulated from external heat transfer. Since no heat transfer can occur the temperature of an expanding gas will decrease. While during the compression of an insulated gas the temperature will increase.

42
Q

Polytrophic Compression & Expansion

A

Polytrophic Compression & Expansion takes into account that some heat or cooling is inevitable. Isothermal and Adiabatic are both theoretical ways of calculating at expansion or compression

43
Q

Difference Between Coagulation and Flocculation?

A

Coagulation is the removal or neutralization of charges of small particles so they don’t repel one another.
While Flocculation is simply the gathering together of smaller particles into larger ones.

44
Q

Superficial Thermal Expansion

A

Refers to a thermal expansion in the surface area of a solid. Or expansion in 2 dimensions

48
Q

52
Q

Positive Ion?

A

Cation

53
Q

Negative Ion?

A

Anion

54
Q

Electronegativity

A

Indicates the grabbing power of elements. A higher number will mean the element will take an electron from the lower numbered element. The lower numbered element donates its electron/s

55
Q

Ionic Bonding

A

Occurs when valance electrons are transferred from one atom to another. Generally occurs between metals and non-metals.

56
Q

Covalent Bonding

A

Occurs when atoms share their valance electrons. Generally occurs between non-mentals and non-metal elements and is the most common bonding of the two ways atoms can be held together. If the electronegativity difference between the elements is less then 1.7 then covalent bonding will occur.

57
Q

Law of Conservation of Mass

A

States that the total mass on the left side of a chemical equation must equal the total mass on the right side of the equation

58
Q

Kilomole

A

is defined as the quantity of a substance that has a mass in kilograms equal to its molecular mass. For instance Carbon has a molecular mass of 12 so 1 kilomole of Carbon is equal to 16 kg

59
Q

What is organic chemistry?

A

It is the study of compounds containing carbon such as hydrocarbons. Almost all compounds that contain carbon are organic expect for carbon oxides, carbonates and cyanides. 95% of the known compounds are organic. They generally exist as gases or liquids at room temp and are flammable compared to inorganic compounds.

60
Q

Difference between compounds and mixtures?

A

Compounds are substances which can be formed by chemically combining two or more elements. Mixtures are substances that are formed by physically mixing two or more substances.

61
Q

What are Hydrocarbons?

A

Hydrocarbons are only made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. The simplest hydrocarbon is Methane (CH4).

62
Q

Primary Hydrogen Versus Secondary Hydrogen?

A

Primary Hydrogen is hydrogen atoms attached to carbon chains at the ends of a carbon chain. If a primary hydrogen is removed from a hydrocarbon it the result is called a propyl
Secondary Hydrogens are attached in the middle of carbon chains. If a secondary hydrogen is removed from a hydrocarbon it the result is called a isopropyl

63
Q

Alkanes

A

Alkanes are hydrocarbons that consist of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms. Single bonded hydrocarbons are considered to be saturated hydrocarbons as they have the most hydrogen bonds as possible. Any double or triple-bonded carbon atoms are considered to be unsaturated hydrocarbons as they do not contain as much hydrogen as they could have due to the carbon-to-carbon bonding.

64
Q

Alkenes

A

Alkenes or Olefins are hydrocarbons that consist of double-bonded or unsaturated carbon and hydrogen atoms.

65
Q

Alkynes

A

Alkynes are hydrocarbons that consist of triple-bonded (unsaturated hydrocarbons) carbon and hydrogen atoms. Any double or triple-bonded carbon atoms are considered to be unsaturated hydrocarbons as they do not contain as much hydrogen as they could have due to the carbon-to-carbon bonding.

66
Q

Define Corrosion?

A

Corrosion may be defined as the destruction of a metal by a chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment. Or the loss of mass or the breaking down of a material due to the loss of electrons.

67
Q

What is Cracking? (Fuel Process: Conversion)

A

It is a type of fuel process used in conversion methods that breaks long hydrocarbon chains into smaller ones through either chemical (Catalytic cracking) or thermal reactions.

68
Q

Types of Fuel Processes?

A

These methods are used to manipulate hydrocarbons in order to produce fuels for different reasons.

Separation: Physical separation of hydrocarbon mixtures
Conversion: Chemical conversion through isomerization or cracking of hydrocarbons
Alkylation: combining short chained hydrocarbons back into larger chains

69
Q

Petrochemical Processes

A

is a polymerization reaction that involves the combination of small molecules into larger ones. Generally, very large molecules are created.

70
Q

What is a copolymer?

A

refers to a polymer created by polymerization of two different substances

71
Q

Oxidation Reaction

A

Refers to any reaction in which a chemicals substance loses one or more electrons. Corrosion occurs due to this loss of electrons

72
Q

Reduction Reaction

A

Is a chemical reaction in which a chemical element gains one or more electrons

73
Q

Redux Reaction

A

Occurs when both a oxidation and reduction reaction occur at the same time. Simply a transfer if electrons in both direction both a loss and a gain of electrons.

74
Q

Cold Working

A

Is mechanical work applied to a metal while the temperature is below the recrystallization temperature. Since the internal crystalline structure is already formed it is physically changed by internal slippage. This internal slippage traps atoms more tightly in the new plane causing an increase in the tensile strength of the metal.

75
Q

Hot Working

A

Is mechanical work applied to a metal while the temperature is above the recrystallization temperature.

76
Q

Heat Treating

A

Is a process that involves heating a metal to modify its internal structure which adjust its mechanical properties. Heating causes recrystallization which causes small grains to come together as larger chains of crystals.

77
Q

Electrolyte

A

Is simply a solution that contains free ions through which electric current can flow.

78
Q

Types of Atmospheric Corrosion

A

Atmospheric Corrosion is simply corrosion that happens outside due to the air/humidity/pollution

Types:
Dry: very slow and can create passivating films that further slow corrosion
Damp: Produced a thing film of electrolyte on the metal which induces galvanic corrosion
Wet:

79
Q

How does salt accelerate corrosion?

A

Salt is hydroscopic meaning it attracts water which will create a film of electrolyte as the salt mixes with the water on the metal.
