    explosion (Saisantosh et al., 2017). This subsequently ignites the gasoline from all directions (For example, putting fuel on a fire), instead of just a spark in one end of the combustion cylinder. Hydrogen behaves like this because it has a very wide flammability range-from 4% to 75% in air (Duncan, 2017) . Due to this there is a release of energy in a short period of time, causing the mixture to get hot and greatly expand in volume (Saisantosh et al., 2017). If the fuel is not fully burnt in that short

    removing by hand, and fractional distillation to achieve this. Once we had all the pure substances we began testing their characteristic properties. We used several characteristic properties to identify the pure substances. For the liquids we tested flammability, density, and boiling point. For the solids we tested solubility in water and density. These were useful in identifying pure substances because by looking at what we learned from them, along with the color, odor, and transparency of the substance

    is a physical property because there is no new substance being created. b) Propane, leaking from a damaged tank, igniting easily is a chemical property because the propane changes into new substances when it undergoes this chemical reaction. Flammability describes the behaviour of a material when it is chemically changed,. c) Silver jewellery tarnishing in the air is a chemical property because the silver is reacting with the air, changing the silver

    How can one human mind organize and memorize over 100 elements? In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist and inventor, was credited with creating and publishing the Periodic table. The Periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements discovered on earth. These elements are organized by their atomic number and similarities between chemical properties. The Periodic table holds 118 elements which can be broken down into smaller classifications, groups (vertical), periods (horizontal) and

    lighting. Coal gas is a combination of hydrogen (a chemical substance that is highly flammable), methane (a natural gas, used now for lighting and fuel) and carbon monoxide (a light gas with air density); which because of their properties and flammability, very useful for lighting. As a result of this invention, all workers (even peasants) could get the light that they needed in order to keep up with the high work demand around the clock, since one light could last for 24 hours.
