  2. Packaging gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packaging_gas

    The gas used is usually inert, or of a nature that protects the integrity of the packaged goods, inhibiting unwanted chemical reactions such as food spoilage or oxidation. Some may also serve as a propellant for aerosol sprays like cans of whipped cream. For packaging food, the use of various gases is approved by regulatory organisations. [1]

  3. Carbocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbocation

    The IUPAC acknowledges the three divergent definitions of carbonium ion and urges care in the usage of this term. For the remainder of this article, the term carbonium ion will be used in this latter restricted sense, while non-classical carbocation will be used to refer to any carbocation with C–C and/or C–H σ-bonds delocalized by bridging.

  4. Landfill gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill_gas

    A gas flare produced by a landfill in Lake County, Ohio. Landfill gas is a mix of different gases created by the action of microorganisms within a landfill as they decompose organic waste, including for example, food waste and paper waste. Landfill gas is approximately forty to sixty percent methane, with the remainder being mostly carbon dioxide.

  5. Carbanion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbanion

    In organic chemistry, a carbanion is an anion in which carbon is negatively charged. [1] [failed verification]Formally, a carbanion is the conjugate base of a carbon acid: . R 3 CH + B − → R 3 C − + HB

  6. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).

  7. Food grading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_grading

    The food-grade product meets the requirements set out in the Food Chemicals Codex. It is denoted by E number E514ii in the EU and is approved for use in Australia and New Zealand [36] where it is listed as additive 514. Food-grade sodium bisulfate is used in a variety of food products, including beverages, dressings, sauces, and fillings.

  8. Gasification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasification

    The resulting gas mixture is called syngas (from synthesis gas) or producer gas and is itself a fuel due to the flammability of the H 2 and CO of which the gas is largely composed. Power can be derived from the subsequent combustion of the resultant gas, and is considered to be a source of renewable energy if the gasified compounds were ...

  9. Vinyl cation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_cation

    The vinyl cation is a carbocation with the positive charge on an alkene carbon. Its empirical formula of the parent ion is C 2 H + 3.Vinyl cation are invoked as reactive intermediates in solvolysis of vinyl halides, [1] [2] as well as electrophilic addition to alkynes and allenes.
