  2. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    The alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr) are the most reactive metals in the periodic table - they all react vigorously or even explosively with cold water, resulting in the displacement of hydrogen. The Group 1 metal (M) is oxidised to its metal ions, and water is reduced to hydrogen gas (H 2) and hydroxide ion (OH −), giving a general ...

  3. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    Gas stoichiometry is the quantitative relationship (ratio) between reactants and products in a chemical reaction with reactions that produce gases. Gas stoichiometry applies when the gases produced are assumed to be ideal, and the temperature, pressure, and volume of the gases are all known. The ideal gas law is used for these calculations.

  4. Nitrogen compounds - Wikipedia

    It reacts with oxygen to give brown nitrogen dioxide and with halogens to give nitrosyl halides. It also reacts with transition metal compounds to give nitrosyl complexes, most of which are deeply coloured. [15] Blue dinitrogen trioxide (N 2 O 3) is only available as a solid because it rapidly dissociates above its melting point to give nitric ...

  5. Nitric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_acid

    For example, copper reacts with dilute nitric acid at ambient temperatures with a 3:8 stoichiometry: 3 Cu + 8 HNO 3 → 3 Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2 NO + 4 H 2 O. The nitric oxide produced may react with atmospheric oxygen to give nitrogen dioxide. With more concentrated nitric acid, nitrogen dioxide is produced directly in a reaction with 1:4 stoichiometry:

  6. Partial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_pressure

    The atmospheric pressure is roughly equal to the sum of partial pressures of constituent gases – oxygen, nitrogen, argon, water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc.. In a mixture of gases, each constituent gas has a partial pressure which is the notional pressure of that constituent gas as if it alone occupied the entire volume of the original mixture at the same temperature.

  7. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    A polyatomic gas, like water, is not radially symmetric about any axis, resulting in D = 6, comprising 3 translational and 3 rotational degrees of freedom. Because the equipartition theorem requires that kinetic energy is partitioned equally, the total kinetic energy is K = D K t = D 2 N m v 2 . {\displaystyle K=DK_{\text{t}}={\frac {D}{2}}Nmv ...

  8. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    One example of a decomposition reaction is the electrolysis of water to make oxygen and hydrogen gas: + Single displacement In a single displacement reaction , a single uncombined element replaces another in a compound; in other words, one element trades places with another element in a compound [ 21 ] These reactions come in the general form ...

  9. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    Ammonium nitrate on strong heating yields dinitrogen oxide ("laughing gas") and water. Ammonium nitrite on heating yields nitrogen gas and water. Barium azide-"Ba(N 3)"on heating yields barium metal and nitrogen gas. Sodium azide on heating at 300 °C (573 K; 572 °F) violently decomposes to nitrogen and metallic sodium.
