  2. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralization_(chemistry)

    Two partial neutralization reactions are possible in this instance. H 2 SO 4 + OH − → HSO − 4 + H 2 O HSO − 4 + OH − → SO 2− 4 + H 2 O Overall: H 2 SO 4 + 2 OH − → SO 2− 4 + 2 H 2 O. After an acid AH has been neutralized there are no molecules of the acid (or hydrogen ions produced by dissociation of the molecule) left in ...

  3. Decarboxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarboxylation

    Decarboxylation. Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO 2).Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids, removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain.

  4. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    Catalysts are substances that make weak bonds with reactants or intermediates and change the pathway (mechanism) of a reaction which in turn increases the speed of a reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to take place. A catalyst is not destroyed or changed during a reaction, so it can be used again.

  5. Reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_mechanism

    Instead, the slow step involves two molecules of NO 2. A possible mechanism for the overall reaction that explains the rate law is: 2 NO 2 → NO 3 + NO (slow) NO 3 + CO → NO 2 + CO 2 (fast) Each step is called an elementary step, and each has its own rate law and molecularity. The sum of the elementary steps gives the net reaction.

  6. Reversible reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_reaction

    So, when the free energy change is large (more than about 30 kJ mol −1), the equilibrium constant is large (log K > 3) and the concentrations of the reactants at equilibrium are very small. Such a reaction is sometimes considered to be an irreversible reaction, although small amounts of the reactants are still expected to be present in the ...

  7. Reactivity (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_(chemistry)

    forms new substances by addition of atoms from another reactant or reactants, and; interacts with two or more other reactants to form two or more products. The chemical reactivity of a substance can refer to the variety of circumstances (conditions that include temperature, pressure, presence of catalysts) in which it reacts, in combination ...

  8. Substitution reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_reaction

    The two reactions are named according tho their rate law, with S N 1 having a first-order rate law, and S N 2 having a second-order. [2] S N 1 reaction mechanism occurring through two steps. The S N 1 mechanism has two steps. In the first step, the leaving group departs, forming a carbocation (C +). In the second step, the nucleophilic reagent ...

  9. Desulfonylation reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desulfonylation_reactions

    Upon removal of the sulfonyl group with desulfonylation or reductive elimination, the net result is the formation of a carbon-carbon bond single or double bond between two unfunctionalized carbons, a ubiquitous motif in synthetic targets. In a synthesis of (–)-anthoplalone, Julia olefination was used to establish the (E)-alkene in the target ...
