Dihydrogen oxide

One of the most impottant oxides is dihydrogen oxide, or rather water (H O). There are numerous oxygen compounds on Earth, many of them with more that two elements. They include the sihcates, which make up rocks and soil, as well as hmestone (calcium carbonate), gypsum (calcium sulfate), bauxite (aluminum oxide), and many iron oxides. 

The basis of the estimations of the absolute enthalpies of hydration of the main group ions is dealt with extensively in Chapter 2. In this section, the same principles are applied to the estimation of the enthalpies of hydration of the monatomic cations of the transition elements, i.e. those of the ions M" +. The standard enthalpies of formation of the aqueous ions are known from experimental measurements and their values, combined with the appropriate number of moles of dihydrogen oxidations to hydrated protons, gives the conventional values for the enthalpies of hydration of the ions concerned. Table 7.4 contains the Gibbs energies of formation and the enthalpies of formation of some ions formed by the first-row transition elements, and includes those formed by Ag, Cd, Hg and Ga. 

Salt, sodium chloride classification compound. Stainless steel, mix of iron and carbon classification mixture. Tap water, dihydrogen oxide plus impurities classification mixture.

Maple syrup, natural product classification mixture. Aluminum, metal classification in pure form—element (sold commercially as a mixture of mostly aluminum with trace metals, such as magnesium). Ice, dihydrogen oxide classification in pure form—compound when made from impure tap water—mixture. Milk, natural product classification mixture. Cherry-flavored cough drops, pharmaceutical classification mixture. 

Hundreds of iron hydride complexes with phosphine ligands have been isolated and characterized. These complexes are almost always diamagnetic. For example, a spectacularly active electrocatalyst for dihydrogen oxidation is the cyclopentadienyl iron... 

Using this nomenclature, water H2O, which we could call today dihydrogen oxide but don t) would be pronounced die-abb-bee. Common glass (silicon dioxide) would have the pleasing sound die-bee-day and P2O3 the jolly try-bee-die-dee. However, nitrous oxide or laughing gas (N O) is die-bay-bee, not likely to encourage a dental patient, but fortunately it is not N3O, pronounced try-bay-bee. ...

An incident that circulated on the Internet some years ago involved the city council of Aliso Viejo, California. The council was considering banning the use of Styrofoam cups since a local paralegal had done some research on the manufacturing process and came upon the MSDS for dihydrogen oxide at http //www.dhmo.org/. This web site has links to various MSDSs for dihydrogen oxide (H2O) that list various hazards associated with its use. Sometime before the vote it was determined that dihydrogen oxide was water and the council avoided further embarrassment. 

It s all about dihydrogen oxide — steam first, then liquid water then more solvent. Figure 4.26 is updated as Figure 4.35 showing the use of steam for desorption (regeneration of the bed).
