A solution with a pH value which is less than 7 is acidic. The acids which react with metals usually have quite a low pH, of either 3 or less. Some metals react with acids and when they do the ...
The formation of carbon–carbon bonds is a fundamental transformation in organic synthesis. In spite of the myriad methods available, advantageous methodologies in terms of selectivity, availability of ...
In this episode, Dr Sunayana Bhargava and Tulela Pea explore the reactivity series of metals and displacement of metals from a compound. Suitable for: AQA, Edexcel, OCR. For more information on the ...
Chemists have long known that catalytic Lewis acidic and Lewis basic sites on metal and metal oxide surfaces help spark a range of reactions that are important in industrial chemical and fuel ...
The structural hallmark of boronic acids is their boron atom, which exhibits the ability to form a tetrahedral coordination complex with various substrates. A key aspect of their chemistry is the ...
Oxidative degradation of biological substrates by hypochlorous acid has been examined under reaction conditions similar to those found in active phagosomes. Iron sulfur proteins are bleached extremely ...
A new theory of how compression and tension can affect the reactivity of metal catalysts could be helpful in designing new and better catalysts. Brown University researchers have developed a new ...
Some copper and zinc smelters have been forced to cut their output because they have run out of space to store hazardous sulphuric acid in the face of poor demand for the by-product and more may have ...
