CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
thermite → termit
Thermite is a stoichiometric powdered mixture of iron(II) oxide and aluminium for the reaction
The reaction is highly exothermic and the increase in temperature (over 2500 °C) is sufficient to melt the iron produced. It has been used for localized welding of steel object (e.g. railway lines) in the thermit process. Thermite is also used in incendiary bombs.
van der Waals’ equation → van der Waalsova jednadžba
Van der Waals’ equation is an equation of state for real fluids which takes the form:
where p is pressure, Vm is molar volume, T is temperature, R is the molar gas constant, and a and b are characteristic parameters of the substance which describe the effect of attractive and repulsive intermolecular forces.
