  2. Half-reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-reaction

    Note the transfer of electrons from Fe to Cl. Decomposition is also a way to simplify the balancing of a chemical equation. A chemist can atom balance and charge balance one piece of an equation at a time. For example: Fe 2+ → Fe 3+ + e − becomes 2Fe 2+ → 2Fe 3+ + 2e −; is added to Cl 2 + 2e − → 2Cl −; and finally becomes Cl 2 ...

  3. Hydrogen sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide

    Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 S. It is a colorless chalcogen-hydride gas , and is toxic, corrosive, and flammable, with trace amounts in ambient atmosphere having a characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs . [ 11 ]

  4. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    This is illustrated in the image here, where the balanced equation is: CH 4 (g) + 2 O 2 (g) → CO 2 (g) + 2 H 2 O (l) Here, one molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen gas to yield one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of liquid water. This particular chemical equation is an example of complete combustion.

  5. Standard enthalpy of formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_enthalpy_of_formation

    For a gas, it is the hypothetical state the gas would assume if it obeyed the ideal gas equation at a pressure of 1 bar. For a gaseous or solid solute present in a diluted ideal solution , the standard state is the hypothetical state of concentration of the solute of exactly one mole per liter (1 M ) at a pressure of 1 bar extrapolated from ...

  6. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

    A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction. [1]

  7. Fenton's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenton's_reagent

    Fenton's reagent is a solution of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and an iron catalyst (typically iron(II) sulfate, FeSO 4). [1] It is used to oxidize contaminants or waste water as part of an advanced oxidation process. Fenton's reagent can be used to destroy organic compounds such as trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene).

  8. Oxygen balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_balance

    A molecule is said to have a positive oxygen balance if it contains more oxygen than is needed and a negative oxygen balance if it contains less oxygen than is needed. [2] An explosive with a negative oxygen balance will lead to incomplete combustion, which commonly produces carbon monoxide, which is a toxic gas. Explosives with negative or ...

  9. Heterogeneous water oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_Water_Oxidation

    Water splitting can be done at higher pH values as well however the standard potentials will vary according to the Nernst equation and therefore shift by -59 mV for each pH unit increase. However, the total cell potential (difference between oxidation and reduction half cell potentials) will remain 1.23 V.
