Sentences with phrase «reactions release water»

As the slab plunges yet deeper, dehydration reactions release water, which at such great pressure and temperature exists as a supercritical fluid that can drift through materials like a gas and dissolve them like a fluid.

Not exact matches

The smell that's released and your ensuing water works are a result of a chemical reaction taking place.

Hotter water can help to release soil by increasing the cleaning action and chemical reactions.

The rods absorb light, which releases electrons and sets in motion a chain reaction that ends with the water in the beaker releasing its oxygen, as desired.

A biochemistry major, Gazzaley had planned to put a chunk of sodium metal into a lake behind campus to make it fizz — a large - scale version of the classic junior high school lab experiment in which adding a pinch of potassium to water creates a spark as the chemical reaction releases energy.

These are intended to slow the flow of water through the wreck, minimising the release of plutonium and slowing chemical reactions that cause corrosion.

But when water corrodes uranium, the reaction also releases hydrogen.

Enriched uranium oxide is formed into rods and water is used both as a coolant, flowing through the reactor core to transfer heat away, and as a moderator, slowing down neutrons released by fission so that they promote further nuclear reactions.

Hydration reactions along the subducting plate are thought to carry water deep into the Earth, and dehydration reactions at greater depths release fluids into the overlying mantle that promote melting and volcanism.

The water around the reactor core serves as three things: a neutron moderator, meaning it slows down the fast neutrons released during fission, which then sustain the chain reaction; a cooling agent; and a radiation shield.

At the center of the Sun, where its density reaches up to 150,000 kg / m3 (150 times the density of water on Earth), thermonuclear reactions (nuclear fusion) convert hydrogen into helium, releasing the energy that keeps the Sun in a state of equilibrium.

I believe that reaction takes much longer than bubbles require to reach the surface; the methane released in these bubble sites or in rapid events like underwater landslides) either dissolves in water or reaches the atmosphere in a matter of minutes, according to what was posted here earlier.

One of the reasons for the lag is the delayed reaction of the surface waters of the oceans to the absorption of heat and it's ultimate contribution by releasing this heat back to the atmosphere.

Once the reaction is underway, the energy released sustains the reaction and can be harnessed to generate electricity or to heat hot water for bathing.

LIA wasn't GLOBAL cooling; but colder in Europe, north America — because Arctic ocean had less ice cover - > was releasing more heat / was accumulating - > radiating + spreading more coldness — currents were taking that extra coldness to Mexican gulf — then to the Mediterranean — because Sahara was increasing creation of dry heat and evaporating extra water in the Mediterranean — to top up the deficit — gulf stream was faster / that was melting more ice on arctic also as chain reaction — Because Mediterranean doesn't have enough tributaries, to compensate for the evaporation deficit.

My first reaction is that the condensation of water vapor — removes a little gas from the air — releases relative to the that volume of gas a huge amount of latent heat

Combustion reactions break these bonds, releasing energy, as well as carbon dioxide and water vapor as byproducts.

As CO2 rises, some enters the oceans and through basic chemical equilibrium reactions involving the dissociation of its hydrated form, carbonic acid to release hydrogen ions, lowers the pH of the water (i.e., raises the hydrogen ion concentration).

Then a lake Nyos type event where the the water got overturned and the suddenly supersaturated water formed mathane bubbles, driving further circulation and methane release in a chain reaction.
