products from waste which will ultimately lead to

cleaner production and thereby sustainable

development of nation. To discuss novel Nano

materials for applications in separation processes.

Inaugural Session:

On 23rd June, first day of the STTP, the proceedings

began with inauguration ceremony, with the

esteemed presence of Prof. (Dr.) D. G. Kuberkar,

Department of Physics, Saurashtra University, Chief

CHEMICAL FACTS

Lightning strikes produce ozone (O3) and help

strengthen the ozone layer.

DNA is flame retardant.

One bucketful of water contains more atoms than the

Atlantic Ocean does bucketfuls of water.

If you slowly pour a handful of salt into a completely full

glass of water, it will not overflow. In fact, the water level

will go down.

Although oxygen gas is colorless (light refraction aside),

both the liquid and solid forms are blue.

One inch of rain is equal to 10 inches of snow.

You have chemoreceptor (taste buds) on the inside of

your cheeks too.

Hydrofluoric acid is so corrosive that it will dissolve

glass. Although it is corrosive, hydrofluoric acid is

considered to be a ‘weak acid’.

Approximately 20% of the oxygen in the atmosphere

was produced by the Amazonian rainforests.

The only elements that are liquid at room

temperature are bromine and mercury.

35 VVPEC/ChED/Equilibrium Issue 10/Aug.2014

Though solid at room temperature, gallium will liquefy

in your hand.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element. About 75% of

the elemental mass of the universe is hydrogen.

The most common isotope of hydrogen is protium, with is

1 proton and 0 neutrons.

The hardest chemical in your body is your tooth enamel.

The ethylene gas produced by ripening fruit, ripens

other fruit and vegetables.

The only letter that doesn’t appear on the Periodic Table

of Elements is J.

The human body contains enough carbon to produce

graphite for about 9,000 pencils.

If you expose a glass of water to space, it will boil rather

than freeze. The water vapor would almost immediately

crystallize into ice.

Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth’s

crust, water, and atmosphere.

Bee stings are acidic while wasp stings are alkaline.

Mosquitoes like the scent of estrogen, thus women get

bitten more often than men do.

The lighter was invented before the match.

In which way you want to go ?

In which way you want to go ?

A path in which you succeed

or a path in which you believe

A tree which is attractive to others

or a tree which sacrifices for others

In which way you want to go ?

A human who is superior in society

or a human who makes the society superior

A leader who follows his own path

or a leader who believes in his followers

In which way you want to go ?

A bird that spent its life in cage for easiness

or a bird who flies in sky with its courage

A corner built to separate two paths

or a corner built to unite.
