A dry media reaction or solid-state reaction or solventless reaction is a chemical reaction performed in the absence of a solvent. [1] Dry media reactions have been developed in the wake of developments in microwave chemistry, and are a part of green chemistry. [2] The drive for the development of dry media reactions in chemistry is:
In chemistry, solvent effects are the influence of a solvent on chemical reactivity or molecular associations. Solvents can have an effect on solubility, stability and reaction rates and choosing the appropriate solvent allows for thermodynamic and kinetic control over a chemical reaction.
It is an acid source for reaction with baking soda to leaven baked goods. [4] In baking powder, it is often labeled as food additive E450. [ 5 ] In cured meats , it speeds the conversion of sodium nitrite to nitrite ( NO − 2 ) by forming the nitrous acid (HONO) intermediate, [ clarification needed ] and can improve water-holding capacity.
Rosin is added in small quantities to traditional linseed oil/sand gap fillers ("mastic"), used in building work. When mixed with waxes and oils, rosin is the main ingredient of mystic smoke , a gum which, when rubbed and suddenly stretched, appears to produce puffs of smoke from the fingertips.
The three cinnamyl alcohol-vicianosides of Rhodiola rosea, commonly referred to as "rosavins," are rosin, and the structurally related disaccharide rosavin, which is the arabinose ester of rosin, and rosarin, the arabinofuranose ester of rosin.
To test baking soda, drop half a teaspoon into a small amount of vinegar. If it fizzes, it's still active. If you don't get any sort of reaction, it's time to toss that box and buy some new baking ...
A dash of baking soda increases the Maillard reaction (a.k.a. the chemical process that creates a golden exterior) in recipes like zucchini bread and sugar cookies.
Ethyl acetate, a nail polish solvent. [1]A solvent (from the Latin solvÅ, "loosen, untie, solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical fluid.
