firn
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Granular snow that has endured a summer without melting and will transform into glacial ice.
hydrogen peroxide
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
H 2 O 2 , this compounds molecular weight is 34. 02g/mol; it is a colorless, rather unstable oxidant with a bitter taste and caustic to the skin. Hydrogen peroxide will decompose, liberating oxygen. ...
hydrogen sulfide
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
H 2 S, hydrogen sulfide is a reducing species, which is relatively unstable but survives for rather a long time owing to its slow reaction with atmospheric oxygen. This sulfur-containing gas is a ...
hygroscopic
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Having the characteristic of drawing moisture from the atmosphere.
hydrogen bromide
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
HBr, In the stratosphere, ozone is continuously being formed via the Chapman mechanism. However, halogen radicals such as atomic bromine and atomic chlorine (released from anthropogenic and some ...
hydrochlorofluorocarbons
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
HCFCs, chemical species slated to replace CFCs in the near future in most Western nations. When the normal chlorofluorocarbons (see above) reach the stratosphere and are photo-decomposed, their ...
hydrogen chloride
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
HCl, anhydrous hydrochloric acid. Its molecular weight is 36. 47 g/mol; it is a colorless, corrosive gas. Hydrogen chloride is a covalent bonded nonflammable gas and ionizes almost completely when ...
