  2. Ammonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

    Amines can be formed by the reaction of ammonia with alkyl halides or, more commonly, with alcohols: CH 3 OH + NH 3 → CH 3 NH 2 + H 2 O. Its ring-opening reaction with ethylene oxide give ethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine. Amides can be prepared by the reaction of ammonia with carboxylic acid and their derivatives.

  3. Ammonia (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_(data_page)

    Table data (above) obtained from CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 44th ed. The (s) notation indicates equilibrium temperature of vapor over solid. Otherwise temperature is equilibrium of vapor over liquid. log 10 of anydrous ammonia vapor pressure. Uses formula shown below.

  4. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    By recording the attenuation of light for various wavelengths, an absorption spectrum can be obtained. In physics, absorption of electromagnetic radiation is how matter (typically electrons bound in atoms) takes up a photon's energy—and so transforms electromagnetic energy into internal energy of the absorber (for example, thermal energy). [1]

  5. Schwarzschild's equation for radiative transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild's_equation...

    The second term describes absorption of radiation by the molecules in a short segment of the radiation's path (ds) and the first term describes emission by those same molecules. In a non-homogeneous medium, these parameters can vary with altitude and location along the path, formally making these terms n(s), σ λ (s), T(s), and I λ (s ...

  6. Chemical thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_thermodynamics

    (The heat change at constant pressure is called the enthalpy change; in this case the widely tabulated enthalpies of formation are used.) A related term is the heat of combustion, which is the chemical energy released due to a combustion reaction and of interest in the study of fuels.

  7. Miller–Urey experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller–Urey_experiment

    Several energy sources in planetary atmospheres can induce these dissociation reactions and subsequent hydrogen cyanide or aldehyde formation, including lightning, [32] ultraviolet light, [30] and galactic cosmic rays. [33] For example, here is a set photochemical reactions of species in the Miller-Urey atmosphere that can result in ...

  8. Radiative equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_equilibrium

    The radiation from each body is emitted regardless of the presence or absence of other bodies. [2] [3] Prevost in 1791 offered the following definitions (translated): Absolute equilibrium of free heat is the state of this fluid in a portion of space which receives as much of it as it lets escape.

  9. Ammonia solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_solution

    In aqueous solution, ammonia deprotonates a small fraction of the water to give ammonium and hydroxide according to the following equilibrium: . NH 3 + H 2 O ⇌ NH + 4 + OH −.. In a 1 M ammonia solution, about 0.42% of the ammonia is converted to ammonium, equivalent to pH = 11.63 because [NH +
