  2. Rancidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancidification

    The double bonds of an unsaturated fatty acid can be cleaved by free-radical reactions involving molecular oxygen. This reaction causes the release of malodorous and highly volatile aldehydes and ketones. Because of the nature of free-radical reactions, the reaction is catalyzed by sunlight. [7] Oxidation primarily occurs with unsaturated fats.

  3. Bromine test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_test

    In organic chemistry, the bromine test is a qualitative test for the presence of unsaturation (carbon-to-carbon double or triple bonds), phenols and anilines. An unknown sample is treated with a small amount of elemental bromine in an organic solvent, being as dichloromethane or carbon tetrachloride. Presence of unsaturation and/or phenol or ...

  4. Bromine number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_number

    In chemistry, the bromine number is the amount of bromine (Br 2) in grams absorbed by 100 g of a sample.The bromine number was once used as a measure of aliphatic unsaturation in gasoline and related petroleum samples, but this assay has fallen into disuse with the introduction of spectroscopic and chromatographic analyses.

  5. Photosynthetic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency

    28.2% (sunlight energy collected by chlorophyll) → 68% is lost in conversion of ATP and NADPH to d-glucose, leaving; 9% (collected as sugar) → 35–40% of sugar is recycled/consumed by the leaf in dark and photo-respiration, leaving; 5.4% net leaf efficiency. Many plants lose much of the remaining energy on growing roots.

  6. Bromine compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_compounds

    Silver bromide (AgBr). Nearly all elements in the periodic table form binary bromides. The exceptions are decidedly in the minority and stem in each case from one of three causes: extreme inertness and reluctance to participate in chemical reactions (the noble gases, with the exception of xenon in the very unstable XeBr 2; extreme nuclear instability hampering chemical investigation before ...

  7. Bromine oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_oxide

    Bromine dioxide (BrO 2). Bromine can form several different oxides: . Dibromine monoxide (Br 2 O); Bromine dioxide (BrO 2); Dibromine trioxide (Br 2 O 3); Dibromine pentoxide (Br 2 O 5); Tribromine octoxide (Br 3 O 8)

  8. Dumas method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumas_method

    The method consists of combusting a sample of known mass to a temperature between 800 and 900 °C in the presence of oxygen. This leads to the release of carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen. The gases are then passed over special columns (such as potassium hydroxide aqueous solution) that absorb the carbon dioxide and water.
