The reaction of an acid in water solvent is often described as a dissociation + + where HA is a proton acid such as acetic acid, CH 3 COOH. The double arrow means that this is an equilibrium process, with dissociation and recombination occurring at the same time.
The formation and dissociation of water on transition metals like palladium has important applications in reactions for obtaining hydrogen and for the operation of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells, and much research has been conducted to understand the phenomenon. The rate-determining reaction for water formation is the creation of adsorbed OH.
In these reactions, the dissociation occurs in the electronically excited state. After proton transfer and relaxation to the electronic ground state, the proton and acid recombine to form the photoacid again. Photoacids are a convenient source to induce pH jumps in ultrafast laser spectroscopy experiments.
The self-ionization of water (also autoionization of water, autoprotolysis of water, autodissociation of water, or simply dissociation of water) is an ionization reaction in pure water or in an aqueous solution, in which a water molecule, H 2 O, deprotonates (loses the nucleus of one of its hydrogen atoms) to become a hydroxide ion, OH −.
K′ n are so-called macroscopic or apparent dissociation constants and can result from multiple individual reactions. For example, if a macromolecule M has three binding sites, K′ 1 describes a ligand being bound to any of the three binding sites.
The work is described in a new paper, ‘Synergy of dendrites-impeded atomic clusters dissociation and side-reactions suppressed inert interface protection for ultrastable Zn anode’, published ...
In chemistry, homolysis (from Greek ὅμοιος (homoios) 'equal' and λύσις (lusis) 'loosening') or homolytic fission is the dissociation of a molecular bond by a process where each of the fragments (an atom or molecule) retains one of the originally bonded electrons.
It is usually assumed that the rate-determining step is a dissociation reaction. [M(H 2 O) n] z+ → [M(H 2 O) n-1] z+ * + H 2 O. The * symbol signifies that this is the transition state in a chemical reaction. The rate of this reaction is proportional to the concentration of the aqua ion, [A].
