  2. 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.

  3. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    As calculated by the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation, in order to maintain a normal pH of 7.4 in the blood (whereby the pK a of carbonic acid is 6.1 at physiological temperature), a 20:1 ratio of bicarbonate to carbonic acid must constantly be maintained; this homeostasis is mainly mediated by pH sensors in the medulla oblongata of the brain ...

  4. Carbonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid

    Carbonic acid is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H 2 C O 3.The molecule rapidly converts to water and carbon dioxide in the presence of water. However, in the absence of water, it is quite stable at room temperature.

  5. Carbonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonation

    According to Henry's law carbonation increases in a solution as temperature decreases. [ 5 ] Since carbonation is the process of giving compounds like carbonic acid (liq) from CO 2 (gas) {i.e. making liquid from gasses} thus the partial pressure of CO 2 has to decrease or the mole fraction of CO 2 in solution has to increase {P CO 2 /x CO 2 = K ...

  6. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    Chemical equations are used to graphically illustrate chemical reactions. They consist of chemical or structural formulas of the reactants on the left and those of the products on the right. They are separated by an arrow (→) which indicates the direction and type of the reaction; the arrow is read as the word "yields". [ 10 ]

  7. Water–gas shift reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water–gas_shift_reaction

    The WGSR is a highly valuable industrial reaction that is used in the manufacture of ammonia, hydrocarbons, methanol, and hydrogen.Its most important application is in conjunction with the conversion of carbon monoxide from steam reforming of methane or other hydrocarbons in the production of hydrogen. [1]

  8. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    The Hill system (or Hill notation) is a system of writing empirical chemical formulae, molecular chemical formulae and components of a condensed formula such that the number of carbon atoms in a molecule is indicated first, the number of hydrogen atoms next, and then the number of all other chemical elements subsequently, in alphabetical order ...

  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.
