  2. Calcium peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_peroxide

    It is mainly used as an oxidant to enhance the extraction of precious metals from their ores. In its second main application, it is used as a food additive under the E number E930 it is used as flour bleaching agent and improving agent. [3] In agriculture it is used in the presowing treatments of rice seed.

  3. Metal ions in aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_ions_in_aqueous_solution

    A metal ion in aqueous solution or aqua ion is a cation, dissolved in water, of chemical formula [M(H 2 O) n] z+.The solvation number, n, determined by a variety of experimental methods is 4 for Li + and Be 2+ and 6 for most elements in periods 3 and 4 of the periodic table.

  4. Oxidizing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_agent

    The international pictogram for oxidizing chemicals. Dangerous goods label for oxidizing agents. An oxidizing agent (also known as an oxidant, oxidizer, electron recipient, or electron acceptor) is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent (called the reductant, reducer, or electron donor).

  5. Oxidation state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_state

    Oxidation states are typically represented by integers which may be positive, zero, or negative. In some cases, the average oxidation state of an element is a fraction, such as ⁠ 8 / 3 ⁠ for iron in magnetite Fe 3 O 4 . The highest known oxidation state is reported to be +9, displayed by iridium in the tetroxoiridium(IX) cation (IrO + 4). [1]

  6. Calcium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_oxide

    It has E number E529. Light: When quicklime is heated to 2,400 °C (4,350 °F), it emits an intense glow. This form of illumination is known as a limelight, and was used broadly in theatrical productions before the invention of electric lighting. [14] Cement: Calcium oxide is a key ingredient for the process of making cement.

  7. Oxidative addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_addition

    Oxidative addition is favored for metals that are (i) basic and/or (ii) easily oxidized. Metals with a relatively low oxidation state often satisfy one of these requirements, but even high oxidation state metals undergo oxidative addition, as illustrated by the oxidation of Pt(II) with chlorine: [PtCl 4] 2− + Cl 2 → [PtCl 6] 2−

  8. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    A center of gravity that is at or above the lift point will most likely result in a tip-over incident. In general, the further the center of gravity below the pick point, the safer the lift. There are other things to consider, such as shifting loads, strength of the load and mass, distance between pick points, and number of pick points.

  9. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem_in...

    It is characterized by a length scale r s, known as the Schwarzschild radius, which is defined by the formula = where G is the gravitational constant. The classical Newtonian theory of gravity is recovered in the limit as the ratio r s /r goes to zero.
