METHYL ISOCYANATE (BHOPAL DISASTER CHEMICAL EQUATION )

Bhopal disaster was occurred by one simple chemical reaction in methyl isocyanate storage tank . (note-MIC-METHYL ISOCYANATE) MIC is used for the production of carbamate pesticides and also rubber and adhesives. MIC is a colorless liquid and pungent order . it's boiling point is 38.3 degree Celsius (100.9 F) approximately our body higher temperature . MIC is reacted with water ,this leads to formation of 1,3 dimethyl urea and carbon dioxide with evolution of heat . this reaction is continued, this leads to increases the temperature of MIC stored tank . at that temperature all MIC was transforming liquid to gas form . slowly MIC gas was evolved out through the smoke Aerial tower . because of high molecular weight of the MIC and high denser than the air ,it starts spread lower feet to ground . this two things only kills the lacks of people .1) is reaction with water 2.) is high molecular weight of gas.

REASON FOR ADDING GYPSUM IN CEMENT

upon mixing cement powder with water ,part of the tricalcium aluminate and gypsum dissolved and react together forming ettringite . the ettringite crystal on the surface of the cement particals are so fine that they cannot bridge the gap between structure .this is the basis of the delay in solidification upon adding gypsum to cement . if we mix cement with water without adding gypsum the tricalcium aluminate immediately reacts with water to form calcium aluminate hydrate . which fills the gap between the cement particals with large crystals and leads to very rapid solidification of the cement slurry
