Results 171–180 of 390 for kristalna voda

copper → bakar

Copper has been known since ancient times. The origin of the name comes from the Latin word cuprum meaning the island of Cyprus famed for its copper mines. It is malleable, ductile, reddish-brown metal. Resistant to air and water. Exposed surfaces form greenish carbonate film. Pure copper occurs rarely in nature. Usually found in sulfides as in chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂), coveline (CuS), chalcosine (Cu₂S) or oxides like cuprite (Cu₂O). Most often used as an electrical conductor. Also used in the manufacture of water pipes. Its alloys are used in jewellery and for coins.

coulomb → kulon

Bureau International des Poids et Mesures

Coulomb (C) is the SI unit of electric charge. It is equal to the charge transferred by a current of one ampere in one second (C = A s). The unit was named after the French physicist C. A. Coulomb (1736-1806).

cryogenic fluid → kriogenski fluid

Cryogenic fluids are used for accessing low temperatures, usually below -150 °C. Cryogenic temperatures are achieved by the rapid evaporation of volatile liquids. The most common laboratory cryogenic fluids are liquid nitrogen (-196 °C). Nitrogen gas is colorless and odorless. The cloud formed when pouring liquid nitrogen is condensed water vapour from the air, not nitrogen gas.

micelle → micele

Micelle is an electrically charged colloidal particle, usually organic in nature, composed of aggregates of large molecules, e.g., in soaps and surfactants. For aqueous solutions, the hydrophilic end of the molecule is on the surface of the micelle, while the hydrophobic end (often a hydrocarbon chain) points toward the centre.

molecular lattice → molekularna rešetka

Molecular lattice is a crystal lattice made molecules bonded together by intermolecular forces.

monobasic acid → monobazična kiselina

Monobasic acids are acids that have only one replacable hydrogen atom per molecule (HCl, HNO₃).

monovalent element → monovalentni element

Monovalent element having a valence of one, such as the hydrogen.

muriatic acid → murijatična kiselina

Muriatic acid is an obsolete name for hydrochloric acid (HCl). Lavoisier coined the name from the Latin word muria meaning brine.

nascent state → nascentno stanje

Nascent state is an especially active state of an element in a moment when it is released from a compound during chemical reaction, e.g. nascent hydrogen.

natural resins → prirodne smole

Natural resins are organic compounds which are secreted by some plants and insects. They are used as adhesives, and are very often unsoluble in water.
