  2. Thermodynamic activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_activity

    The relative activity of a species i, denoted a i, is defined [4] [5] as: = where μ i is the (molar) chemical potential of the species i under the conditions of interest, μ o i is the (molar) chemical potential of that species under some defined set of standard conditions, R is the gas constant, T is the thermodynamic temperature and e is the exponential constant.

  3. Precipitation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    An example would be the synthesis of Cr 3+ tetraphenylporphyrin chloride: water is added to the dimethylformamide (DMF) solution in which the reaction occurred, and the product precipitates. [10] Precipitation is useful in purifying many other products: e.g. , crude bmim -Cl is taken up in acetonitrile , and dropped into ethyl acetate , where ...

  4. Aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_solution

    [1] [2] As water is an excellent solvent and is also naturally abundant, it is a ubiquitous solvent in chemistry. Since water is frequently used as the solvent in experiments, the word solution refers to an aqueous solution, unless the solvent is specified. [3] [4] A non-aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is a liquid, but is ...

    This article needs attention from an expert in chemistry. The specific problem is: Incomplete list. WikiProject Chemistry may be able to help recruit an expert.

  6. Defining equation (physical chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defining_equation...

    Usually the symbol for the quantity with a subscript of some reference to the quantity is used, or the quantity is written with the reference to the chemical in round brackets. For example, the mass of water might be written in subscripts as m H 2 O, m water, m aq, m w (if clear from context) etc., or simply as m(H 2 O).

  7. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    A solution describes a homogeneous mixture where the dispersed particles will not settle if the solution is left undisturbed for a prolonged period of time. A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture where the dispersed particles have at least in one direction a dimension roughly between 1 nm and 1 μm or that in a system discontinuities are found at ...

  8. Wacker process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacker_process

    2 CuCl + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ O 2 + 2 HCl → 2 CuCl 2 + H 2 O Only the alkene and oxygen are consumed. Without copper(II) chloride as an oxidizing agent , Pd(0) metal (resulting from beta-hydride elimination of Pd(II) in the final step) would precipitate, stopping Philips' reaction after one cycle.

  9. Apical ectodermal ridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apical_ectodermal_ridge

    The apical ectodermal ridge (AER) is a structure that forms from the ectodermal cells at the distal end of each limb bud and acts as a major signaling center to ensure proper development of a limb.
