Publisher's Synopsis
Antimony, Graphite, Nickel, Potash, Strontium, Tin is a book written by F. S. Boalich and published in 1918. The book is a comprehensive guide to the properties, uses, and applications of six important chemical elements: antimony, graphite, nickel, potash, strontium, and tin. The book begins with an introduction to the chemical and physical properties of each element, including their atomic structure, melting point, boiling point, and density. It then goes on to explore the various uses of these elements in industry, medicine, and everyday life. For example, the book explains how antimony is used in the production of batteries, flame retardants, and alloys, while graphite is used in the manufacture of pencils, lubricants, and electrodes. Nickel is used in the production of stainless steel, while potash is used as a fertilizer and in the production of soap and glass. Strontium is used in the manufacture of fireworks and flares, and tin is used in the production of tinplate and solder. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the chemical reactions and processes involved in the production and use of these elements, as well as their environmental impact and safety considerations. Overall, Antimony, Graphite, Nickel, Potash, Strontium, Tin is a valuable resource for chemists, scientists, and anyone interested in the properties and applications of these important chemical elements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
