Sentences with phrase «at ordinary temperatures»

At ordinary temperatures, carbon dioxide is quite unreactive; above 1,700 °C (3,100 °F) it partially decomposes into carbon monoxide and oxygen.

The forces holding diiodine molecules in the crystal are modest, and liquid iodine is not stable at ordinary temperatures and pressures, so that solid iodine sublimes to give a rather large concentration of diatomic molecules in the vapor phase.

At ordinary temperatures diiodine molecules vibrate continuously around the equilibrium internuclear distance, alternately becoming stretched and compressed.

Bear in mind that the air at the top is indistinguishable from ordinary air in an ordinary room at an ordinary temperature, ditto at the bottom.

Not exact matches

«Now, we can suddenly use ordinary magnetic materials, combine them in a clever way with other materials, and make them work at room temperature,» says materials scientist Axel Hoffmann of Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois.

At this temperature, the constituents of ordinary matter melt down into a soup of particles known as quarks and gluons.

A team working on electronics for a space - based camera has tested ordinary transistors at ultra-low temperatures, and they passed with flying colours

Although we're used to talking about negative temperatures, such as − 10 °C, all temperatures on an ordinary thermometer are actually positive when measured in kelvin, the scientific temperature scale that starts at absolute zero (− 273.15 °C).

This motivates the search for new ultrahigh - temperature metal alloys that can maintain their shape and strength at temperatures where ordinary steel would melt.

3 Collapse of the vacuum In the book Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut popularized the idea of «ice - nine,» a form of water that is far more stable than the ordinary kind, so it is solid at room temperature.

The microbes did this at extremely low temperatures — 4.7 degrees Celsius — that slow ordinary bacterium's metabolism as well as under high pressures.

The team's next steps are to analyze future data at lower RHIC energies and higher LHC energies to see how these temperatures might affect the plasma's behavior, especially near the phase transition between ordinary matter and the exotic matter of the quark - gluon plasma.

The STAR collaboration's exploration of the «nuclear phase diagram» shows signs of a sharp border — a first - order phase transition — between the hadrons that make up ordinary atomic nuclei and the quark - gluon plasma (QGP) of the early universe when the QGP is produced at relatively low energies / temperatures.

In low energy RHIC collisions, scientists suspect that while the change in phase from QGP to ordinary protons / neutrons occurs, both distinct states (QGP and ordinary nuclear matter) coexist — just like bubbles of steam and liquid water coexist at the same temperature in a pot of boiling water.

The process is just as easy as making ordinary yogurt from cow's or goat's milk, which I do weekly: you simply combine the coconut milk with yogurt ferment or a probiotic supplement, and leave it to incubate at a steady, moderate temperature (around 40 °C or 105 °F) until the coconut milk is cultured, which takes 24 hours for the level of tang I like.

Amazon calls Cat's Cradle «one of Vonnegut's most entertaining novels... filled with scientists and G - men and even ordinary folks caught up in the game [who] chase each other around in search of the world's most important and dangerous substance, a new form of ice that freezes at room temperature.»

I just meant that a thousand year period of stable temperature which happens to have a rapid warming trend at the end of the series is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with regards to «other» thousand years periods in the Holocene.

Thanks to the consistent temperature of the earth, geothermal is more than twice as efficient at cooling than any ordinary heat pump or air conditioner and more than five times as efficient at heating than any traditional fossil fuel furnace.

Birkeland currents are interesting, although they seem to be a possible correction to direct solar irradiance only at the poles and only in the ionosphere, which is already enormously hot — between 1500C and 2500C — but so tenuous that you wouldn't feel heat if you stuck your arm out into the near vacuum of the ionosphere, you'd feel intense cooling as your blood started to boil and ordinary thermometers would radiate heat away faster than they would equilibrate (and hence would read very cold temperatures).

So asserting that heat won't flow in figure 2 above, or will stop flowing before all of the gas reaches thermal equilibrium, is just like saying that heat won't flow between two ordinary jars of gas at different temperatures in the laboratory, and well over a hundred years of experiments, the entire refrigeration and air conditioning industry, a huge body of technology and engineering, and well understood physical theories all say otherwise.

It is exactly like an ordinary jar of gas at the same pressure and density and temperature.

On the surface of the airless Moon sits a box of ordinary Earth - air at standard temperature and pressure.

But now, if we put a whole lot of similar neutral particles close to each other, and bestow on them a Temperature which is not zero K, then we expect these particles to have on average an energy kT per degree of freedom of which there are at least three in ordinary three d space.

But the fact remains, that the spectrum which is supplying the GHG resonance energies, is akin to that radiated by an ordinary yard brick or a bottle of water, at room Temperature.
