  2. Calcium peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_peroxide

    Calcium peroxide or calcium dioxide is the inorganic compound with the formula CaO 2. It is the peroxide (O 2 2−) salt of Ca 2+. Commercial samples can be yellowish, but the pure compound is white. It is almost insoluble in water. [3]

  3. Oxidation state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_state

    2 has an overall charge of −1, so each of its two equivalent oxygen atoms is assigned an oxidation state of − ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠. This ion can be described as a resonance hybrid of two Lewis structures, where each oxygen has an oxidation state of 0 in one structure and −1 in the other. For the cyclopentadienyl anion C 5 H −

  4. Calcium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_oxide

    The major use of quicklime is in the basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) process. Its usage varies from about 30 to 50 kilograms (65–110 lb) per ton of steel. The quicklime neutralizes the acidic oxides, SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, and Fe 2 O 3, to produce a basic molten slag. [10]

  5. Chemical oxygen demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_demand

    RMO = Ratio of the # of moles of oxygen to # of moles of oxidizable compound in their reaction to CO 2, water, and ammonia. For example, if a sample has 500 Wppm (Weight Parts per Million) of phenol: C 6 H 5 OH + 7O 2 → 6CO 2 + 3H 2 O COD = (500/94)·7·16*2 = 1192 Wppm

  6. Basic oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_oxide

    An oxide is a chemical compound in which one or more oxygen atoms combined with another element, such as H 2 O or CO 2.Based on their acid-base characteristics, oxides can be classified into four categories: acidic oxides, basic oxides, and amphoteric oxides and neutral oxides.

  7. Oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxide

    Notice that oxygen forms three bonds to titanium and titanium forms six bonds to oxygen. An oxide (/ ˈ ɒ k s aɪ d /) is a chemical compound containing at least one oxygen atom and one other element [1] in its chemical formula. "Oxide" itself is the dianion (anion bearing a net charge of –2) of oxygen, an O 2– ion with oxygen in the ...

  8. Photosystem II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem_II

    The oxygen-evolving complex is the site of water oxidation. It is a metallo-oxo cluster comprising four manganese ions (in oxidation states ranging from +3 to +4) [6] and one divalent calcium ion. When it oxidizes water, producing oxygen gas and protons, it sequentially delivers the four electrons from water to a tyrosine (D1-Y161) sidechain ...

  9. Catalytic oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_oxidation

    Catalytic oxidation are processes that rely on catalysts to introduce oxygen into organic and inorganic compounds. Many applications, including the focus of this article, involve oxidation by oxygen. Such processes are conducted on a large scale for the remediation of pollutants, production of valuable chemicals, and the production of energy. [1]
