It was a spring morning of April 16, 1947, was a morning that many citizens of Texas City thought was the end of the world. The French Liberty ship, SS Grandcamp, bearing a cargo of ammonium nitrate fertilizer (over 2300 tons) destined for war-torn Europe, caught fire in the Texas City harbor. The bright ... A little after 9.00 a.m., the Texas City Disaster (as it is popularly known) occurred as the ship Grandcamp exploded.
The substances which allow the current to flow in the circuit are:
Lithium bromide in a solution and Graphite.
Lithium bromide can be pass the current in the circuit, due to the ability to form ions in the solution Li⁺ and Br⁻ which are mobile and can transport the electrical charge.
In the graphite because of the presence of delocalised electrons, each carbon atom forms three covalent bonds with three other carbon atoms, it conducts electrical current.
In the case of potassium chloride lattice there are in a solid form and the atoms are not mobile so they can not form ions. In the diamond all the carbon valences are satisfied so the electrical charge can not be transported.
Nitric oxide in a solution is isolated and can not transport the electrical current due to its inability of the to form ions
.
Explanation:
Methane molecule is depicted here
To solve this problem, all we have to do it to make use of
the principle of ratio and proportion. We are given the following ratio:
1 part Chlorine / 10 parts Water
Now to determine the amount of chlorine needed for 15
ounces of water, all we have to do is to use proportion. Let us say that the
amount of Chlorine needed is x, therefore:
1 part Chlorine / 10 parts Water = x / 15 ounces Water
so,
1 / 10 = x / 15
Therefore calculating for x:
x = 15 / 10
<span>x = 1.5 ounces of Chlorine</span>
