  2. Acid–base reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidbase_reaction

    In chemistry, an acidbase reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base.It can be used to determine pH via titration.Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acidbase theories, for example, Brønsted–Lowry acidbase theory.

  3. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    An example of a base being neutralized by an acid is as follows. Ba(OH) 2 + 2 H + → Ba 2+ + 2 H 2 O. The same equation relating the concentrations of acid and base applies. The concept of neutralization is not limited to reactions in solution. For example, the reaction of limestone with acid such as sulfuric acid is also a neutralization ...

  4. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    A strong base is a basic chemical compound that can remove a proton (H +) from (or deprotonate) a molecule of even a very weak acid (such as water) in an acidbase reaction. Common examples of strong bases include hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, like NaOH and Ca(OH) 2, respectively. Due to their low solubility, some ...

  5. Work-up - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work-up

    The Grignard reaction between phenylmagnesium bromide (1) and carbon dioxide in the form of dry ice gives the conjugate base of benzoic acid (2). The desired product, benzoic acid (3), is obtained by the following work-up: [2] Synthesis of benzoic acid with work-up step in red. The reaction mixture containing the Grignard reagent is allowed to ...

  6. Amphoterism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphoterism

    This is what "amphoteric" means in Brønsted–Lowry acidbase theory. For example, amino acids and proteins are amphiprotic molecules because of their amine (−NH 2) and carboxylic acid (−COOH) groups. Self-ionizable compounds like water are also amphiprotic. Ampholytes are amphoteric molecules that contain both acidic and basic ...

  7. Acid–base extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidbase_extraction

    Acidbase extraction is a subclass of liquid–liquid extractions and involves the separation of chemical species from other acidic or basic compounds. [1] It is typically performed during the work-up step following a chemical synthesis to purify crude compounds [2] and results in the product being largely free of acidic or basic impurities.

  8. Acid salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_salt

    Acidbase property of the resulting solution from a neutralization reaction depends on the remaining salt products. A salt containing reactive cations undergo hydrolysis by which they react with water molecules, causing deprotonation of the conjugate acids .
