Liquefaction, Complexation, Surface Tension, and Raoult’s Law
Liquefaction of Gases
Liquefaction of gases is the process of converting a gas into a liquid state. This process involves reducing the temperature and/or increasing the pressure of the gas to a point where it condenses into a liquid.
Principles Involved
- Joule-Thomson Effect
- Critical Temperature
- Critical Pressure
Faraday’s Method
Faraday’s method is a historical technique used to liquefy gases, developed by Michael Faraday in the 19th century. The method involves:
- Compression
- Cooling
- Expansion
- Liquefaction

Lavoisier: Conservation of Mass
In any chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the mass of the products. For example, 5g + 1.2g = 3.7g.
Proust: Definite Proportions
The proportion among the masses in which two or more elements combine to form a certain compound is always constant and independent of the procedure used to form it.
Dalton: Multiple Proportions
When two elements combine together to form more than one compound, the masses of one of them that combine with the same mass of

Haloalkanes
Haloalkanes (Alkyl halides) (R-X): Fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo. In the longest chain, count where the halogen is closest. For more than one, use di, tri, tetra. Common names: MONO: alkyl + ide; DI: alkyl(ene) + ide; TRI: Chloro, fluoro, etc.; TETRA: Carbon + tetra + halogen(ide).
Alcohol formation: R-X + NaOH = R-OH + Na-X
Alcohols
Alcohols (R-OH): Number the chain with the closest -OH. Change “ane” to “ol”. Common name: Use the alkyl name (e.g., Methyl) followed by “alcohol”.

Ingredients
- Water: Essential for all stages of brewing.
- Malt: Typically barley, steeped, germinated, and dried to provide sugars.
- Adjuncts: Maize grits, corn syrup, rice, beet, or cane sugar. These can lighten the beer’s flavor or color.
- Hops: Provide bitterness, aroma, and inhibit bacterial growth.
- Yeast: Converts sugar into CO2, alcohol, and flavors.
Brewing Process
Brewhouse
- Raw Material Preparation: Malt is milled, keeping husks intact if desired. The kernel is milled to small, uniform particles, minimizing

Metal Melting Furnaces and Die Casting: Types and Processes
Metal Melting Furnaces
A melting furnace is a device where either the combustion of a material or electric power is supplied to provide the heat needed to melt metal. The molten metal acquires the fluidity necessary for proper mold filling.
Furnace Classification:
- Cuba Oven: The metal is in contact with the fuel (e.g., blast furnace, cupola furnace).
- Hearth Furnace: The metal is in contact with exhaust gases (e.g., Martin Siemens oven, hearth oven).
- Controlled Atmosphere Furnace: No contact with fuel
