  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end. Polar molecules must contain one or more polar bonds due to a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms.

  3. List of reagents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reagents

    a solution of hydrogen peroxide and an iron catalyst that is used to oxidize contaminants or waste waters Formaldehyde: the simplest aldehyde; an important precursor to many other chemical compounds, such as polymers and polyfunctional alcohols Formic acid: the simplest carboxylic acid; often used as a source of the hydride ion Grignard reagents

  4. Solubility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility

    For example, the salt's positive ions (e.g. Ag +) attract the partially negative oxygen atom in H 2 O. Likewise, the salt's negative ions (e.g. Cl −) attract the partially positive hydrogens in H 2 O. Note: the oxygen atom is partially negative because it is more electronegative than hydrogen, and vice versa (see: chemical polarity).

  5. Piranha solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution

    Molecular models of the different molecules active in Piranha solution: peroxysulfuric acid (H 2 SO 5) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). Piranha solution, also known as piranha etch, is a mixture of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). The resulting mixture is used to clean organic residues off substrates, for example ...

  6. Hansen solubility parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansen_solubility_parameter

    The Hildebrand parameter for such non-polar solvents is usually close to the Hansen value. A typical example showing why Hildebrand parameters can be unhelpful is that two solvents, butanol and nitroethane, which have the same Hildebrand parameter, are each incapable of dissolving typical epoxy polymers. Yet a 50:50 mix gives a good solvency ...

  7. Protonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protonation

    In chemistry, protonation (or hydronation) is the adding of a proton (or hydron, or hydrogen cation), usually denoted by H +, to an atom, molecule, or ion, forming a conjugate acid. [1] (The complementary process, when a proton is removed from a Brønsted–Lowry acid, is deprotonation.) Some examples include The protonation of water by ...

  8. Hydroperoxyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroperoxyl

    Together with its conjugate base superoxide, hydroperoxyl is an important reactive oxygen species.Unlike • O − 2, which has reducing properties, HO • 2 can act as an oxidant in a number of biologically important reactions, such as the abstraction of hydrogen atoms from tocopherol and polyunstaturated fatty acids in the lipid bilayer.

  9. Silica gel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica_gel

    Silica is allowed to be added to food in the US at up to 2% as permitted under 21 CFR 172.480. In the EU, it can be in up to 5% concentrations. [24] In 2018, a re-evaluation by the EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food found no indications of toxicity even at the highest estimates of exposure level. [25]
