PCH-1110-0009 The enclosed table and diagram give an indication about the solubility of sodium carbonate in liquid caustic soda. The solubility of sodium carbonate in liquid caustic soda is not only influenced by the temperature and the concentration of sodium hydroxide but also by the formation of different crystals i.e. sodium hydroxide, sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate crystals.

Summary Of Dr. Samuel Cartwright's Prevention Of Yellow Fever

...prevent yellow fever. (Cartwright 314). In short, Cartwright believes “pure republicanism” (lower taxes and the elites helping the poor) must be re-instituted to truly prevent the spread of yellow fever (Cartwright 316). In this text, it can be unclear who Cartwright believes is responsible for preventing yellow fever. Is it up to the Irish to fix their behavior, or is it up to the elites to improve the Irish’s condition? Patrick Brennan addresses such a question in his paper “Getting out of Crescent City: Irish Immigration and the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1853”. Brennan believes that Cartwright placed responsibility on the immigrants. This fits into his larger claim that doctors and elites increased the impact of the epidemic with their “caustic attitudes regarding race and class” because Brennan believes Cartwright is placing the blame on the lower class. Brennan believes that Cartwright’s reason for doing so was financial, and by blaming behavior he and other elites “largely absolve[d] themselves of financial and moral responsibility.” (Brennan 198). This claim does carry some merit, since Cartwright said he was looking for a “cheap and safe” method for preventing yellow fever (Cartwright 292), and some of the solutions he presents cost little to no money. Cartwright also consistently calls for social reform and action from the government, however, which undermines Brennan’s claim that Cartwright and other elites blamed the Irish for the epidemic. In this essay, I will show...

...Powell Fabrication & Manufacturing Inc The Bleach Strength Test — A Chemical Test Method to Determine the Strength of Sodium Hypochlorite Last Update: March 30, 2001 Background The liquid sodium hypochlorite made by the Powell Continuous Bleach Manufacturing Plant or by other methods is produced as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in the presence of excess caustic. Because consumers require differing solution concentrations, bleach manufacturers need to measure specific components of the product. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), excess caustic (NaOH), and excess alkalinity (Na2CO3) are components in bleach that are routinely tested. Although this test procedure does not address heavy metals and sodium chlorate (NaClO3), a decomposition product, they should be tested at intermittent intervals and will require a qualified laboratory to perform these tests. Comparative Sample Analysis The test method below will provide accurate and repeatable results by the producer and consumer to ensure the product is meeting the desired specification. However, there are times when the strength of the sodium hypochlorite as tested by the manufacturer will differ from the consumer’s results. Many times these differences can be accounted for by the losses in shipping due to decomposition. However, it is difficult to know when the differences in test results are decomposition losses and when they are errors in test methods or procedures. In order for both the manufacturer...

When any student is unable to understand a particular topic, he is advised to imagine the whole matter and then try to understand it. Normally, this method succeeds. But in engineering stream considering the study of wide range of process and equipments involved in it, it is hard to understand the unit operations and processes just through books or even with imagination .Unless one happens to see the process, equipments, he is like a soldier who knows to fire the gun ,but is yet to face a war.

Write a Properly Referenced Essay on the Treatment and Management of a Patient with Corns.

...duration of tissue loading and redistribute mechanical stress. To absorb shear, orthoses and similar devices such as polymer gel pads and silicones can be used. In the case of soft corns where sweat collects between the toes, and the toes rub against each other to cause the corns, there is often need for a toe separator allowing sweat to evaporate and to stop the toes rubbing together. Enucleation will leave a dimple or hole in the tissue of the foot. In time, with healing, the body will naturally fill this up with healthy tissue. However, whilst the healing process is occurring, the cavity is usually filled with a gel (polymer, silicon or acrilyic) to discourage further corn formation (Tortora & Derrickson, 2011). The application of a caustic preparation known as silver nitrate can also help by shrinking the cavity. Neurovascular corns are corns that have both nerves and blood vessels in them. As most corns have only dead tissue in them, this makes neurovascular corns more difficult to treat. Firstly they are sensitive and can be painful to treat and secondly they can bleed if removed. As such, they are usually removed under local anaesthetic. Neurovascular corns need...

Essay On Soap Making Process

...A number of things affect the soap-making process and the quality of this soap produced. The characteristics of this soap depend on the quality of oil, and the amounts of the caustic soda and water used to make it. The speed of the reaction between the oil and the caustic soda is influenced by free fatty acid content of the oil, the heat of the components before mixing, and how vigorously the mixing is to be done. Free fatty acid contents, vigorous mixing, and heat, speed up the given soap-making process.

...Dream Lies Dead * "Star Light, Star Bright--" * A Certain Lady * Résumé * A Fairly Sad Tale * Afternoon * August Dorothy Parker was an American poet, short story writer, critic and satirist, best known for her wit, wisecracks, and eye for 20th-century urban foibles. From a conflicted and unhappy childhood, Parker rose to acclaim, both for her literary output in such venues as The New Yorker and as a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table. Following the breakup of the circle, Parker traveled to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting. Her successes there, including two Academy Award nominations, were curtailed as her involvement in left-wing politics led to a place on the Hollywood blacklist. 1920: Parker's caustic wit as a critic initially proved popular, but she was eventually terminated by Vanity Fair in 1920 after her criticisms began to offend powerful producers too often. 1925: When Harold Ross founded The New Yorker in 1925, Parker and Benchley were part of a "board of editors" established by Ross to allay concerns of his investors. 1934: In 1934, she married Alan Campbell, an actor with aspirations to become a screenwriter. 1936: At the behest of Otto Katz, a covert Soviet Comintern agent and operative of German Communist Party agent Willi Muenzenberg, Parker helped to found the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League in 1936 (which was suspected by the FBI of being a Communist Party front). 1941: She wrote additional dialogue for The Little Foxes in...

Ranitidine HCl blocks the action of histamine (acid) on stomach cells thus reducing stomach acid production. Ranitidine HCl is useful in healing of stomach ulcers and reducing ulcer pain and has been effective in preventing ulcer recurrence when given in low doses for prolonged period of time. In doses higher than that used in ulcer treatment, Ranitidine HCl has been helpful in treating heartburn and in healing ulcer and inflammation of the throat resulting from the acid reflects. The product patent for Ranitidine HCl was held by GlaxoSmithkline (GSK) and was marketed under the brand name ‘Zantac’. The product patent for Ranitidine HCl held by GSK expired in 2002.
