    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloromethane

    Chloromethane, also called methyl chloride, Refrigerant-40, R-40 or HCC 40, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 3 Cl.One of the haloalkanes, it is a colorless, sweet-smelling, flammable gas.

  3. Law of multiple proportions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_multiple_proportions

    Example 3nitrogen oxides: Dalton was aware of three oxides of nitrogen: "nitrous oxide", "nitrous gas", and "nitric acid". [8] These compounds are known today as nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, and nitrogen dioxide respectively. "Nitrous oxide" is 63.3% nitrogen and 36.7% oxygen, which means it has 80 g of oxygen for every 140 g of nitrogen.

  4. Liquid nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen

    Liquid nitrogen is a compact and readily transported source of dry nitrogen gas, as it does not require pressurization. Further, its ability to maintain temperatures far below the freezing point of water, specific heat of 1040 J ⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1 and heat of vaporization of 200 kJ⋅kg −1 makes it extremely useful in a wide range of ...

    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. [1]

  6. Chloroform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroform

    Chloroform, [10] or trichloromethane (often abbreviated as TCM), is an organochloride with the formula C H Cl 3 and a common solvent.It is a volatile, colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid produced on a large scale as a precursor to refrigerants and PTFE. [11]

  7. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    An example is the condensed molecular/chemical formula for ethanol, which is CH 3CH 2 −OH or CH 3 CH 2 OH. However, even a condensed chemical formula is necessarily limited in its ability to show complex bonding relationships between atoms, especially atoms that have bonds to four or more different substituents .

  8. Tetramethylammonium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetramethylammonium_chloride

    The chemical formula (CH 3) 4 N + Cl − is often abbreviated further as Me 4 N + Cl −. It is a hygroscopic colourless solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. Tetramethylammonium chloride is a major industrial chemical, being used widely as a chemical reagent [1] and also as a low-residue bactericide in such processes as ...

  9. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    The Vilsmaier reagent (N,N-Dimethyl(chloromethylene)ammonium chloride; [ClHC=N + (CH 3) 2]Cl −) is a highly chemoselective agent for carboxylic acid reduction. It selectively activates the carboxylic acid to give the carboxymethyleneammonium salt, which can be reduced by a mild reductant like lithium tris( t -butoxy)aluminum hydride to afford ...
