  2. Yield (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The theoretical molar yield is 2.0 mol (the molar amount of the limiting compound, acetic acid). The molar yield of the product is calculated from its weight (132 g ÷ 88 g/mol = 1.5 mol). The % yield is calculated from the actual molar yield and the theoretical molar yield (1.5 mol ÷ 2.0 mol × 100% = 75%). [citation needed]

  3. Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide

    Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, [1] [2] is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH.It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na + and hydroxide anions OH −.

  4. Hydrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolysis

    Generic hydrolysis reaction. (The 2-way yield symbol indicates a chemical equilibrium in which hydrolysis and condensation are reversible.). Hydrolysis (/ h aɪ ˈ d r ɒ l ɪ s ɪ s /; from Ancient Greek hydro- 'water' and lysis 'to unbind') is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds.

  5. Sodium fusion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fusion_test

    The sodium fusion extract is made alkaline by adding NaOH. To this mixture, freshly prepared FeSO 4 solution is added and boiled for some time and then cooled. A few drops of FeCl 3 are added and Prussian blue (bluish green) color forms due to formation of ferric ferrocyanide along with NaCl. This shows the presence of nitrogen in the organic ...

  6. Saponification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    Depending on the nature of the alkali used in their production, soaps have distinct properties. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) produces "hard" soaps; hard soaps can also be used in water containing Mg, Cl, and Ca salts. [5] By contrast, potassium soaps (derived using KOH) are "soft" soaps. The fatty acid source also affects the soap's melting point.

  7. Chemical synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_synthesis

    The amount produced by chemical synthesis is known as the reaction yield. Typically, yields are expressed as a mass in grams (in a laboratory setting) or as a percentage of the total theoretical quantity that could be produced based on the limiting reagent. [2] A side reaction is an

  8. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    A base and an acid anhydride, e.g., 2 NaOH + Cl 2 O → 2 NaClO + H 2 O An acid and a base anhydride , e.g., 2 HNO 3 + Na 2 O → 2 NaNO 3 + H 2 O In the salt metathesis reaction where two different salts are mixed in water, their ions recombine, and the new salt is insoluble and precipitates.

  9. Sodium hydrosulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydrosulfide

    This compound is the product of the half-neutralization of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). NaSH and sodium sulfide are used industrially, often for similar purposes. Solid NaSH is colorless. The solid has an odor of H 2 S owing to hydrolysis by atmospheric moisture.
