Explode

Exploding or burning the gas with oxygen or air and measuring both the change in volume and amount of waste gases formed by absorption. 

After the primary step in a photochemical reaction, the secondary processes may be quite complicated, e.g. when atoms and free radicals are fcrnied. Consequently the quantum yield, i.e. the number of molecules which are caused to react for a single quantum of light absorbed, is only exceptionally equal to exactly unity. E.g. the quantum yield of the decomposition of methyl iodide by u.v. light is only about 10" because some of the free radicals formed re-combine. The quantum yield of the reaction of H2 -f- CI2 is 10 to 10 (and the mixture may explode) because this is a chain reaction. 

Generally speaking, paraffins, naphthenes, and aromatics have a potential for exploding under the following conditions 2 )...

In contrast the endothermic trichloride, AHf = + 230.1 kJ moU ), is extremely reactive with a tendency to explode, being particularly unstable above its boiling point, 344 K, in light, or in the presence of organic compounds. Unlike the trifluoride it is readily hydrolysed by water to ammonia and chloric(I) acid ... 

Dichlorine h ptoxide, CljO, is the most stable of the chlorine oxides. It is a yellow oil at room temperature, b.p. 353 K, which will explode on heating or when subjected to shock. It is the anhydride of chloric(VlI) acid (perchloric acid) from which it is prepared by dehydration using phosphorus(V) oxide, the acid being slowly reformed when water is added. 

The use of larger particles in the cyclotron, for example carbon, nitrogen or oxygen ions, enabled elements of several units of atomic number beyond uranium to be synthesised. Einsteinium and fermium were obtained by this method and separated by ion-exchange. and indeed first identified by the appearance of their concentration peaks on the elution graph at the places expected for atomic numbers 99 and 100. The concentrations available when this was done were measured not in gcm but in atoms cm. The same elements became available in greater quantity when the first hydrogen bomb was exploded, when they were found in the fission products. Element 101, mendelevium, was made by a-particle bombardment of einsteinium, and nobelium (102) by fusion of curium and the carbon-13 isotope. 

Consequently traces of these unstable peroxides are present in samples of all the lower aliphatic ethers unless the samples have been freshly distilled. If these ethers when being distilled are heated on, for example, an electric heater, the final residue of peroxide may become sufficiently hot to explode violently. The use of a water-bath for heating, as described above, decreases considerably both the risk of the ether catching fire and of the peroxide exploding. 

Picric acid if stored in bulk should, for safety, first be damped. Smaller quantities may be safely kept whilst dry, but should be stored in bottles having cork or rubber stoppers glass stoppers should never be used for potentially explosive substances, because on replacing the stopper some of the material may be ground between the neck of the flask and the stopper, and so caused to explode. 

Iodoxybenzene on being heated explodes at 236-237°, and a m.p. determination should not be attempted. 

The best azide to use these days is sodium azide (NaNs). It is inexpensive and unwatched. All azides have the potential to explode upon degradation and are toxic to breathe. The methods... 

Sometimes a star explodes in a supernova cast mg debris into interstellar space This debris includes the elements formed during the life of the star and these elements find their way into new stars formed when a cloud of matter collapses in on itself Our own sun is believed to be a second generation star one formed not only from hydrogen and helium but containing the elements formed in earlier stars as well...
