Snow making, artificial

The amount of artificial snow was calculated as the ratio of water for snow making over estimated snow amount, i.e., snow making loss was not included. 

The water availability is important if artificial snow is used. It is however possible to save water in the pond during a period and use it for snow making when the temperature is low enough. It is also be possible to reuse water if pollution problems can be handled.

Titanic acid is a snow-white infusible solid, in its relations somewhat analogous to silicic acid. When it has been fused with alkali, it becomes soluble in strong hydrochloric acid, but it is precipitated by boiling. A solution of galls causes an orange red colour in its solution, and a rod of zinc causes a purple deposit. Titanic acid is used in making the finer kinds of enamel for artificial teeth, from its whiteness and hardness. 

As artificial and synthetic snow amply d onstrate, chemistry makes life more fim.
