Q

give me measurement for
1kg = g = mg
1t = kg = g
1kt = t = kg

A

1 kg = 1000 g = 1 000 000 mg
1 t = 1000 kg = 1 000 000 g
1kt = 1000 t = 1 000 000kg

14
Q

what are the 3 gas collection and 3 drying gases methods?

A
  1. displacement of water
  2. upward delivery
  3. downward delivery
  4. concentrated sulfuric acid
  5. quicklime (CaO)
  6. fused calcium chloride (CaCl2)
15
Q

give me the examples and things to note for:

  1. concentrated sulfuric acid
  2. quicklime (CaO)
  3. fused calcium chloride (CaCl2)
A
  1. E: most gases including Cl₂ and HCl (used to dry acidic gases)
    N: not suitable for gases that react with H₂SO4
  2. E: ammonia (alkaline gases)
    N: CaO absorbs moisture and CO₂ from the air so it must be freshly heated before use! Cannot work for gases that react with CaO
  3. E: Most gases except NH3
    N: must be freshly heated and doesnt work for gases that react with CaCl₂
