  2. Sanity check - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanity_check

    Dimensional analysis may be used as a sanity check of physical equations: the two sides of any equation must be commensurable or have the same dimensions. A person who has calculated the power output of a car to be 700 kJ may have omitted a factor, since the unit joules is a measure of energy, not power (energy per unit time).

  3. Benzyl cyanide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzyl_cyanide

    Benzyl cyanide undergoes many reactions characteristic of nitriles. It can be hydrolyzed to give phenylacetic acid [7] or it can be used in the Pinner reaction to yield phenylacetic acid esters. [8] Hydrogenation gives β-phenethylamine. [9] The compound contains an "active methylene unit". Bromination occurs gives PhCHBrCN. [10]

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  5. Chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

    Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.

  6. Chemical transport reaction - Wikipedia

    These intermediates then are free to move around the inside of the tube via diffusion or convection (point B), and when they reach point C some of the gaseous species react to form solid products. In chemistry, a chemical transport reaction describes a process for purification and crystallization of non-volatile solids. [1]

  7. Self-assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-assembly

    For self-assembly to take place without intervention of external forces, the process must lead to a lower Gibbs free energy, thus self-assembled structures are thermodynamically more stable than the single, unassembled components. A direct consequence is the general tendency of self-assembled structures to be relatively free of defects.

    The judge in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking case has questions about the rap mogul's notepads. Someone wrote "Legal" on the pads in the days after prison officials took evidence photos of them.

  9. Standard solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_solution

    In analytical chemistry, a standard solution (titrant or titrator) is a solution containing an accurately known concentration.Standard solutions are generally prepared by dissolving a solute of known mass into a solvent to a precise volume, or by diluting a solution of known concentration with more solvent.
