Ammonium nitrate

in reaction to the addition of the ammonium nitrate and the calcium chloride? Background Information: The experiment deals with cold packs and hot packs and it demonstrates how they work. Cold packs and hot packs are used to help heal injuries mainly. Cold packs help heal sprained ankles, since they remove heat from the inflicted area and make the blood vessels tighten, which lowers the inflammation and pain. Cold packs usually include water, ammonium nitrate or some other salt and fertilizer. The

Federal Building. The blast killed 168 people and hundreds more were injured and before September 11, 2001, it was considered the worst terrorist attack to take place on U.S. soil (History.com, 2015). The bomb used was an Ammonium Nitrate Truck/Fertilizer Bomb. Ammonium Nitrate (NH4NO3) is a small, colorless crystal that is made by mixing nitric acid and ammonia salt used all around the world. It is an oxidizing agent, which means that by itself, it isn’t flammable unless put under extreme conditions

noteworthy calamity happened to overall populace that for a long time after couldn 't be overlooked. It began on a brilliant and clear morning when the ship in the Texas City Harbor, The Grand Camp, loaded with ammonium nitrate compost, bound for war torn Europe, was ablaze. Ammonium nitrate is an exceptionally perilous and unstable material in the event that it is dangerously utilized, a similar material was utilized as a part of the Oklahoma bombarding. Since the flames in the port weren 't uncommon

Alex awoke in a groggy stupor, confused and unaware of where she was. Angela, having seen that her sister was coming out of her slumber, sat down next to her on the edge of the sofa and began coaxing her into consciousness. “W-What happened?” asked Alex as she raised a hand up to her aching head. “Oh…” she whined, “I had the most awful dreams.” “Mama, Aunt Alex needs juice,” said Liam as he brought his small glass over to them. “It will make Aunt Alex sick no more.” “Yes,

The CSB report found that a fire of unknown source caused the piles of stored ammonium nitrate to be covered with soot which heated up and eventually caused the ammonium nitrate to detonate. OSHA and the EPA, neither had regulations

experiment was conducted to see if ammonium nitrate would indeed help with spore germination pertaining to the C-Fern, Ceratopteris richardii. The experiment consisted of two different dishes, each containing a different culture- one with ammonium nitrate and the other without. It was hypothesized that the control group, the petri dish without the ammonium nitrate, will have a higher rate of germinated spores compared to the experimental group, the petri dish with ammonium nitrate. The results revealed that

relationship between the solubility and temperature of Potassium Nitrate. This experiment was done to analyze the effect if water temperature on the amount of dissolved phosphates and nitrates in solution, which are two major pollutants that cause fish death. Below is the results of the experiment. Test Tube Mass (g) Temperature of Crystallization (°C) 2.0 34.1 4.0 47.9 6.0 59.5 8.0 76.5 Based on the data, solubility of Potassium Nitrate and temperature are directly proportional. This is indicated

major disaster befallen on the whole population that for many years after could not be forgotten. It all started on a bright and clear morning when the ship in the Texas City Harbor, The Grand Camp, full of ammonium nitrate fertilizers, destined for war torn Europe, was on fire. Ammonium nitrate is a highly dangerous and explosive material if it is unsafely used, the same material was used in Oklahoma bombing. Since the fires in the port weren 't rare, unfortunately people weren 't as alarmed as they

find the enthalpy a calorimeter was used, then filled 50ml of room temperature water in a graduated cylinder. The water was poured into the calorimeter cup then close the top and measured the initial temperature. Then the top was opened and 1gram of Ammonium chloride was pour into the cup, stirred the salt with the rod and once it reached plateaued the final temperature was recorded. The same process was done for the second salt Sodium thiosulfate. The step taken to reduce error in the experiment was
