It is very easy to lose your way and end up getting stuck, with nothing to tell you so all because you made a single wrong decision. My only criticism of Superliminal lies in chapter 6. Additionally, whilst there is repetition of some of the set pieces, there are justified reasons for this linking it to the overarching concept and immersive qualities.

The Dubai Expo is being promoted as the biggest event held in the Arab world. The Atomium building in the Belgian capital was originally constructed for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair. The landmark Space Needle in the US city of Seattle, raised for the 1962 Expo, for example, or the Atomium in Brussels, constructed for the 1958 edition. Since then, it has become progressively easier to travel to different parts of the world, but even in the twentieth century, several Expos still left a lasting mark on their host cities. The 1851 Great Exhibition in London, for example, which took place in an iconic cast iron and glass building named The Crystal Palace, showcased the fruits of the Industrial Revolution, whilst the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris featured the Eiffel Tower, which some critics dismissed as an ugly construction that deserved to be dismantled by the end of the event.

If the actual concentrations of the ions in solution produce a value less than the solubility product, you don't get a precipitate. The square brackets have their normal meaning, showing concentrations in mol dm -3. For the silver halides, the solubility product is given by the expression: This value can be quoted as a solubility product. A precipitate will only form if the concentrations of the ions in solution in water exceed a certain value - different for every different compound. There is no such thing as an absolutely insoluble ionic compound.

The precipitates are the insoluble silver halides - silver chloride, silver bromide or silver iodide. All the absence of a precipitate shows is that you haven't got chloride, bromide or iodide ions present. The absence of a precipitate with fluoride ions doesn't prove anything unless you already know that you must have a halogen present and are simply trying to find out which one. You couldn't be sure which you had unless you compared them side-by-side.Īll of the precipitates change colour if they are exposed to light - taking on grey or purplish tints. The chloride precipitate is obviously white, but the other two aren't really very different from each other. The chloride, bromide and iodide precipitates are shown in the photograph: Silver nitrate solution is then added to give: ion present (Remember: silver nitrate + dilute nitric acid.) The nitric acid reacts with, and removes, other ions that might also give a confusing precipitate with silver nitrate. The solution is acidified by adding dilute nitric acid. If you start from a solid, it must first be dissolved in pure water. This page describes and explains the tests for halide ions (fluoride, chloride, bromide and iodide) using silver nitrate solution followed by ammonia solution. ![]() ![]() But please no replies from the "that's disrespectful" crowd or the "it's probably okay" folks. ie) how many at any given time sunning, swimming, walking, lounging at the pools, etc. I've read that it's more or as commmon than in PDC but would really really appreciate input before we book a trip om actual recent visitors (past year or so), and/or like-minded travellers.
