    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  3. Flow chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_chemistry

    If these fluids are reactive, a reaction takes place. Flow chemistry is a well-established technique for use at a large scale when manufacturing large quantities of a given material. However, the term has only been coined recently for its application on a laboratory scale by chemists and describes small pilot plants, and lab-scale continuous ...

  4. Automated analyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_analyser

    The AutoAnalyzer is an early example of an automated chemistry analyzer using a special flow technique named "continuous flow analysis (CFA)", invented in 1957 by Leonard Skeggs, PhD and first made by the Technicon Corporation. The first applications were for clinical (medical) analysis.

  5. Soxhlet extractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soxhlet_extractor

    A Soxhlet extractor has three main sections: a percolator (boiler and reflux) which circulates the solvent, a thimble (usually made of thick filter paper) which retains the solid to be extracted, and a siphon mechanism, which periodically empties the condensed solvent from the thimble back into the percolator.

  6. Laboratory quality control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_quality_control

    The distance from the mean is measured in standard deviations. It is named after Stanley Levey and E. R. Jennings, pathologists who suggested in 1950 that Shewhart's individuals control chart could be used in the clinical laboratory. [5] The date and time, or more often the number of the control run, is plotted on the x-axis.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IB_Group_4_subjects

    The Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Design Technology was last updated for first teaching in September 2014, with syllabus updates (including a decrease in the number of options), a new internal assessment component similar to that of the Group 5 (mathematics) explorations, and "a new concept-based approach" dubbed "the nature of science". A ...

  8. Continuous production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_production

    Continuous production is a flow production method used to manufacture, produce, or process materials without interruption.Continuous production is called a continuous process or a continuous flow process because the materials, either dry bulk or fluids that are being processed are continuously in motion, undergoing chemical reactions or subject to mechanical or heat treatment.

  9. Steady state (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    In chemistry, a steady state is a situation in which all state variables are constant in spite of ongoing processes that strive to change them. For an entire system to be at steady state , i.e. for all state variables of a system to be constant, there must be a flow through the system (compare mass balance ).
