  2. Chemical kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_kinetics

    The 'rule of thumb' that the rate of chemical reactions doubles for every 10 °C temperature rise is a common misconception. This may have been generalized from the special case of biological systems, where the α (temperature coefficient) is often between 1.5 and 2.5. The kinetics of rapid reactions can be studied with the temperature jump method.

  3. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

    For example, 26 cannot be divided by 11 to give an integer. Such a case uses one of five approaches: Say that 26 cannot be divided by 11; division becomes a partial function. Give an approximate answer as a floating-point number. This is the approach usually taken in numerical computation.

  4. Brix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brix

    Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measure of the dissolved solids in a liquid, and is commonly used to measure dissolved sugar content of a solution. [1] One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose ...

  5. Nitration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitration

    In organic chemistry, nitration is a general class of chemical processes for the introduction of a nitro group (−NO 2) into an organic compound. The term also is applied incorrectly to the different process of forming nitrate esters ( −ONO 2 ) between alcohols and nitric acid (as occurs in the synthesis of nitroglycerin ).

  6. Hydrophobicity scales - Wikipedia

    [3] [1] Another physical property method involve measuring the solvation free energy. [31] The solvation free energy is estimated as a product of an accessibility of an atom to the solvent and an atomic solvation parameter. Results indicate the solvation free energy lowers by an average of 1 Kcal/residue upon folding. [3]

  7. Ammonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

    Ammonia forms 1:1 adducts with a variety of Lewis acids such as I 2, phenol, and Al(CH 3) 3. Ammonia is a hard base (HSAB theory) and its E & C parameters are E B = 2.31 and C B = 2.04. Its relative donor strength toward a series of acids, versus other Lewis bases, can be illustrated by C-B plots .

  8. Ordinary differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_differential_equation

    As with other DE, its unknown(s) consists of one (or more) function(s) and involves the derivatives of those functions. [1] The term "ordinary" is used in contrast with partial differential equations (PDEs) which may be with respect to more than one independent variable, [ 2 ] and, less commonly, in contrast with stochastic differential ...

    Isotopic ratios of helium are represented by R A value, a value relative to air measurement (3 He/ 4 He = 1.39*10 −6). [98] Volatiles that originate from the earth's crust have a 0.02-0.05 R A , which indicate an enrichment of helium-4. [ 99 ]
