  2. Extrapolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrapolation

    Extrapolation may also mean extension of a method, assuming similar methods will be applicable. Extrapolation may also apply to human experience to project, extend, or expand known experience into an area not known or previously experienced.

  3. Standard addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_addition

    Standard addition involves adding known amounts of analyte to an unknown sample, a process known as spiking.By increasing the number of spikes, the analyst can extrapolate for the analyte concentration in the unknown that has not been spiked. [2]

  4. Fallacy of composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_composition

    The fallacy of composition is an informal fallacy that arises when one infers that something is true of the whole from the fact that it is true of some part of the whole. A trivial example might be: "This tire is made of rubber; therefore, the vehicle of which it is a part is also made of rubber."

  5. δ18O - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Δ18O

    In geochemistry, paleoclimatology and paleoceanography δ 18 O or delta-O-18 is a measure of the deviation in ratio of stable isotopes oxygen-18 (18 O) and oxygen-16 (16 O). It is commonly used as a measure of the temperature of precipitation, as a measure of groundwater/mineral interactions, and as an indicator of processes that show isotopic fractionation, like methanogenesis.

    The T1 procedure reproduces these values with mean absolute and RMS errors of 1.8 and 2.5 kJ/mol, respectively. T1 reproduces experimental heats of formation for a set of 1805 diverse organic molecules from the NIST thermochemical database [14] with mean absolute and RMS errors of 8.5 and 11.5 kJ/mol, respectively.

    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 ...

    By definition, it is the amount of energy gained by the charge of a single electron moved across an electric potential difference of one volt. electronegativity A chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons (or electron density) towards itself. electronics

  9. Extent of reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extent_of_reaction

    In physical chemistry and chemical engineering, extent of reaction is a quantity that measures the extent to which the reaction has proceeded. Often, it refers specifically to the value of the extent of reaction when equilibrium has been reached.
