Tetraboron carbide, B4C, is a very hard substance used for grinding purposes, ceramics, and armor plating. Because boron is an efficient absorber of neutrons, B4C is also used as a protective material in nuclear reactors. The reaction that forms B4C from boron(III) oxide, B2O3, is
2 B2O3 + 7 C → B4C + 6 CO (at 2400°C)

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.

a gas, having a molecular weight of 13 kg/kmol and a kinematic viscosity of 0.25 cm2/s, flows through a pipe 0.25 m internal diameter and 5 km long at the rate of 0.4 m3/s and is delivered at atmospheric pressure.
