  2. Hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxide

    The polymeric compounds M(OH) 2 and M(OH) 3 are in general prepared by increasing the pH of an aqueous solutions of the corresponding metal cations until the hydroxide precipitates out of solution. On the converse, the hydroxides dissolve in acidic solution. Zinc hydroxide Zn(OH) 2 is amphoteric, forming the tetrahydroxidozincate ion Zn(OH) 2−

  3. pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

    2 H 2 O ⇌ H 3 O + (aq) + OH − (aq) with a dissociation constant, K w defined as = [+] [] where [H +] stands for the concentration of the aqueous hydronium ion and [OH −] represents the concentration of the hydroxide ion. This equilibrium needs to be taken into account at high pH and when the solute concentration is extremely low.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  5. Hydroxy group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxy_group

    In chemistry, a hydroxy or hydroxyl group is a functional group with the chemical formula −OH and composed of one oxygen atom covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom. In organic chemistry , alcohols and carboxylic acids contain one or more hydroxy groups.

  6. Aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_solution

    An example of a hydrophilic substance is sodium chloride. In an aqueous solution the hydrogen ions (H +) and hydroxide ions (OH −) are in Arrhenius balance ([H +] [OH −] = K w = 1 x 10 −14 at 298 K). Acids and bases are aqueous solutions, as part of their Arrhenius definitions. [1]

  7. Qualitative inorganic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualitative_inorganic_analysis

    This includes ions which form sulfides that are insoluble at high concentrations. The reagents used are H 2 S in the presence of NH 4 OH. NH 4 OH is used to increase the concentration of the sulfide ion, by the common ion effect - hydroxide ions from NH 4 OH combine with H + ions from H 2 S, which shifts the equilibrium in favor of the ionized ...

  8. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    In 1884, Svante Arrhenius proposed that a base is a substance which dissociates in aqueous solution to form hydroxide ions OH −. These ions can react with hydrogen ions (H + according to Arrhenius) from the dissociation of acids to form water in an acid–base reaction. A base was therefore a metal hydroxide such as NaOH or Ca(OH) 2.

  9. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    When necessary, the position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number between the alkane name and the -ol: propan-1-ol for CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, propan-2-ol for CH 3 CH(OH)CH 3. If a higher priority group is present (such as an aldehyde , ketone , or carboxylic acid ), then the prefix hydroxy- is used, [ 19 ] e.g., as in 1-hydroxy-2 ...
