liquid hydrogen 1 to 851. liquid oxygen 1 to 860. Neon has the highest expansion ratio with 1 to 1445.

Vaporization – All cryogenic liquids produce large volumes of gas when they vaporize. Liquid nitrogen will expand 696 times as it vaporizes. The expansion ratio of argon is 847:1, hydrogen is 851:1 and oxygen is 862:1.

The expansion ratio of LPG is 1:270. This means that one litre of liquid, if vaporised, will occupy a volume 270 times greater than one litre of its liquid state.

LPG (propane and/or butane) turns from liquid to gas when it boils. Propane boils at a lower temperature than butane, making it more suitable for cold climates. On a cold winter day, outdoor butane cylinders may not reach their boiling temperature, leaving the user with no gas.

The easy answer is to lower the surrounding temperature. When the temperature drops, energy will be transferred out of your gas atoms into the colder environment. When you reach the temperature of the condensation point, you become a liquid.

Lighter fluid is a flammable liquid found in cigarette lighters and other types of lighters. Lighter fluid poisoning occurs when someone swallows this substance. DO NOT use it to treat or manage an actual poison exposure.

Dangers. Deliberate inhalation of butane can instantly kill and there is no way to avoid this.

If the person swallowed the lighter fluid, give them water or milk right away, if a provider tells you to do so. DO NOT give anything to drink if the person has symptoms that make it hard to swallow. These include vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness.

Lighter fluid will evaporate even when the lighter is not used, so be sure to always keep the lid closed and it’s a good idea to refuel before each outing.

Upholstery

1. Mix one tablespoon of liquid hand dishwashing detergent with two cups of cool water.
2. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with the detergent solution.
3. Blot until the liquid is absorbed.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until the stain disappears.
5. Sponge with cold water and blot dry.

Butane is a highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gas that quickly vaporizes at room temperature.

Disposal. Empty lighters should be disposed of in the trash. Make sure they are completely empty before disposal. Unused or partially used lighters should be brought to the household hazardous waste collection sites for free.

“With the lighter exposed to hot temperatures, the fluid and gases inside the lighter expanded, causing internal pressure to rise,” Dr Wiesner said. “That increases stresses in the container of the lighter, and then it ruptured — and that would’ve caused the mechanical explosion of the lighter.

Human waste should not be disposed of with regular the trash; however, a heavy duty trash bag can be used to line a trash can and all waste bags placed inside the larger bag, or one bin can be designated for human waste can be if multiple bins are available (e.g., green waste bin).

Tinned steel cans and aluminum cans are recyclable in curbside bins and carts. Scrap metal pieces are not. Scrap metal is highly recyclable, just not at the curb. Many cities and towns have a scrap metal drop-off box at the public works yard or transfer station.

Metals are ideal for recycling because they can be melted down and turned into a pure raw material again very easily. But let’s say it does end up in a landfill, how long will it take to decompose? 50 to 500 years! So remember to recycle your metals.

Aluminum foil is recyclable if it’s free of food residue. Do not recycle dirty aluminum because food contaminates recycling. Try rinsing the foil to clean it; otherwise, you can throw it in the trash.

If your box is dented, bent, ripped or damaged, that’s okay. It can still be recycled as long as it is dry and clean. Keep your boxes dry. If your boxes get wet allow them to dry before recycling them.

Yes if they are clean. Pizza boxes are normally made from corrugated cardboard which is recyclable. However most pizza boxes have food debris attached to them and a lot of grease. Any heavily greased cardboard can be torn off and put in the trash before putting the clean cardboard in the recycling stream.

Why Recycle Cardboard

• Over half of the cardboard collected is used to make new cardboard boxes, and additional cardboard can be downcycled into paperboard (used for cereal boxes) or chipboard (used for shoeboxes)
• Making 1 ton of virgin cardboard requires 3 tons of trees.

Foil or metallic finishes on cardboard aren’t recyclable, but if the box has a general sheen, it’s OK to recycle. Regarding “plasticized” cardboard and direct mailers, it’s a decision made by the individual retailer, institution, or politician.

Paperboard products are recyclable as cardboard. These include: Soap boxes. Toothpaste boxes.

The good news: lots of cardboard is compostable! However, not ALL cardboard can be turned back into soil. Uncoated (not shiny) with no heavy dyes; unfortunately, that shiny cardboard is coated in plastic that can’t be composted.

Currently, about 70 percent of cardboard-boxes shipped commercially are recovered for recycling. When recycled, cardboard is used to make chipboard like cereal boxes, paperboard, paper towels, tissues and printing or writing paper. It’s also made into more corrugated cardboard.
