Claus process by pioyi 6 Updated +Created
Created by the german chemist Carl Friedrich Claus, it makes it possible to convert hydrogen sulfide (from natural gas) to elemental sulfur.
The overall reaction can be descibed as follows:
The Claus' process served as a better replacement of the Frasch process, which obtained elemental sulfur from naturally found deposits underground.

Sulfur that occurs as an unwanted compound in natural gas is also removed by hydrogenation, which yields hydrogen sulfide.

Production of hydrogen sulfide by pioyi 6 Updated +Created
One should not forget that our bodies can produce hydrogen sulfide with the help of speicifc bacteria found in our mouth and intestines.
These take advantage of the sulfur found in proteins that we consume (four aminoacids, the buldings blocks of proteins, contain sulfur).
Production of household bleach by pioyi 6 Updated +Created
Household bleach mainly contains sodium hypochloride, NaOCl (eau de Javel). It is an unstable white powder that dissolves in water to give a yellow stable solution.
It also contains small amounts of NaoH, and . The first method of producing bleach involved a reaction between chloride gas and sodium carbonate (). Later, sodium carbonate was replaced by caustic soda (soda lye), NaOH, a cheaper substance that also made the production more efficient.
In this reaction, is reaction with a solution of NaOH giving a spontaneous reaction:
The raw materials of the reaction, chloride and caustic soda come from the electrolysis of brine.
Bleach by pioyi 6 Updated +Created
Bleach refers to a wide range of chemical substances that are used mainly in order to whiten fabrics, clean surfaces and disinfect water supplies.
This range of substances works by oxidizing the molecules that either stain our clothes/furniture, or are part of unwanted germs. They can be divided into two main products:
  • Chlorine-based bleach: These function by releasing elemental chlorine. Elemental chloride on its own is also a form of bleach, although it is much more dangerous to handle.
  • Peroxide-based bleach: They release oxygen, which does the oxidation itself. Oxygen is derived from the decomposition of peroxide compounds (R-O-O-R).
Hydrogen sulfide by pioyi 6 Updated +Created
Hydrogen sulfide (formula: ) is a chemical compound which occurs as a colourless gas with acidic properties. Its characteristic odor, which resembles that of rotten eggs makes the identification of the compound easy.
It is present in the atmosphere (in low concetrations, less than 0.0003ppm) and also works as a signaling molecule for many animals, including humans. Its odor can be identified at concentrations of around 0.1 to 0.15ppm. As the concentration increases, it obtains a sweet odor and becomes deadly.
It's corrosive and flammable.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!

Intro to OurBigBook

We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    • to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
    • as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
