  2. Calcium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_oxide

    A demonstration of slaking of quicklime as a strongly exothermic reaction. Drops of water are added to pieces of quicklime. After a while, a pronounced exothermic reaction occurs ("slaking of lime"). The temperature can reach up to some 300 °C (572 °F). The major use of quicklime is in the basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) process. Its usage ...

  3. Miscibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscibility

    Diesel fuel is immiscible in water.The bright rainbow pattern is the result of thin-film interference.. Miscibility (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ b ɪ l ɪ t i /) is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution).

  4. Mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture

    In chemistry, a mixture is a material made up of two or more different chemical substances which can be separated by physical method. It is an impure substance made up of 2 or more elements or compounds mechanically mixed together in any proportion. [1]

  5. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    As seen from the equation CH 4 + 2O 2 → CO 2 + 2 H 2 O, a coefficient of 2 must be placed before the oxygen gas on the reactants side and before the water on the products side in order for, as per the law of conservation of mass, the quantity of each element does not change during the reaction.

  6. Solution (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt in water.The salt is the solute and the water the solvent. In chemistry, a solution is defined by IUPAC as "A liquid or solid phase containing more than one substance, when for convenience one (or more) substance, which is called the solvent, is treated differently from the other substances, which are called solutes.

  7. Dissociation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The dissociation of salts by solvation in a solution, such as water, means the separation of the anions and cations. The salt can be recovered by evaporation of the solvent. An electrolyte refers to a substance that contains free ions and can be used as an electrically conductive medium.

  8. Lime (material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_(material)

    Pure lime is soluble in water containing carbonic acid, a natural, weak acid which is a solution of carbon dioxide in water and acid rain so it will slowly wash away, but this characteristic also produces autogenous or self-healing process where the dissolved lime can flow into cracks in the material and be redeposited, automatically repairing ...

  9. Solubility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility

    At this point, the two substances are said to be at the solubility equilibrium. For some solutes and solvents, there may be no such limit, in which case the two substances are said to be "miscible in all proportions" (or just "miscible"). [2] The solute can be a solid, a liquid, or a gas, while the solvent is usually solid or liquid. Both may ...
