  2. Calcium carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_carbonate

    Calcium carbonate is the active ingredient in agricultural lime and is produced when calcium ions in hard water react with carbonate ions to form limescale. It has medical use as a calcium supplement or as an antacid, but excessive consumption can be hazardous and cause hypercalcemia and digestive issues. [8]

  3. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, hydrochloric acid, HCl, is a strong acid. HCl(aq) → H + (aq) + Cl − (aq) A strong base is one that is fully dissociated in aqueous solution. For example, sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is a strong base. NaOH(aq) → Na + (aq) + OH − (aq) Therefore, when a strong acid reacts with a strong base the neutralization reaction can be ...

  4. Leblanc process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leblanc_process

    This conversion entails two parts. First is the carbothermic reaction whereby the coal, a source of carbon, reduces the sulfate to sulfide: Na 2 SO 4 + 2 C → Na 2 S + 2 CO 2. In the second stage, is the reaction to produce sodium carbonate and calcium sulfide. This mixture is called black ash. [citation needed] Na 2 S + CaCO 3 → Na 2 CO 3 + CaS

  5. Standard enthalpy of formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_enthalpy_of_formation

    For many substances, the formation reaction may be considered as the sum of a number of simpler reactions, either real or fictitious. The enthalpy of reaction can then be analyzed by applying Hess' law, which states that the sum of the enthalpy changes for a number of individual reaction steps equals the enthalpy change of the overall reaction.

  6. Acid–base reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_reaction

    In chemistry, an acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base.It can be used to determine pH via titration.Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acid–base theories, for example, Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory.

  7. Enthalpy of neutralization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_neutralization

    In chemistry and thermodynamics, the enthalpy of neutralization (ΔH n) is the change in enthalpy that occurs when one equivalent of an acid and a base undergo a neutralization reaction to form water and a salt. It is a special case of the enthalpy of reaction. It is defined as the energy released with the formation of 1 mole of water.

  9. Alkali–carbonate reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali–carbonate_reaction

    The alkali–carbonate reaction is an alteration process first suspected in the 1950s in Canada for the degradation of concrete containing dolomite aggregates. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Alkali from the cement might react with the dolomite crystals present in the aggregate inducing the production of brucite , (MgOH) 2 , and calcite (CaCO 3 ).
