  2. Hydrazines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazines

    Hydrazines (R 2 N−NR 2) are a class of chemical compounds with two nitrogen atoms linked via a covalent bond and which carry from one up to four alkyl or aryl substituents. . Hydrazines can be considered as derivatives of the inorganic hydrazine (H 2 N−NH 2), in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by hydrocarbon grou

  3. Hydrazine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazine

    Hydrazine is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula N 2 H 4.It is a simple pnictogen hydride, and is a colourless flammable liquid with an ammonia-like odour.Hydrazine is highly hazardous unless handled in solution as, for example, hydrazine hydrate (N 2 H 4 ·xH 2 O).

  4. Biotic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotic_pump

    The biotic pump theory may be able to help us better understand the role forests have on the water cycle. The biotic pump is a theoretical concept that shows how forests create and control winds coming up from the ocean and in doing so bring water to the forests further inland.

  5. Azine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azine

    The generic formula of an azine. For an aldazine, R 2 = H.. Azines are a functional class of organic compounds with the connectivity RR'C=N-N=CRR'. These compounds are the product of the condensation of hydrazine with ketones and aldehydes, although in practice they are often made by alternative routes.

  6. Evapotranspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evapotranspiration

    Also, plants with deep reaching roots can transpire water more constantly, because those roots can pull more water into the plant and leaves. Another example is that conifer forests tend to have higher rates of evapotranspiration than deciduous broadleaf forests, particularly in the dormant winter and early spring seasons, because they are ...

  7. Absorption of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_of_water

    The continuity of the water column remains intact due to the cohesion between the molecules and it acts as a rope. Roots simply act as a passive organ of absorption. As transpiration proceeds, water absorption occurs simultaneously to compensate the water loss from the leaf end. Most volume of water entering plants is by means of passive ...

  8. Peroxide process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxide_process

    The main advantage of the peroxide process to hydrazine relative to the traditional Olin Raschig process is that it does not coproduce salt. In this respect, the peroxide process is an example of green chemistry. Since many millions of kilograms of hydrazine are produced annually, this method is of both commercial and environmental significance ...

  9. Hydrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolysis

    Hydrolysis (/ h aɪ ˈ d r ɒ l ɪ s ɪ s /; from Ancient Greek hydro- 'water' and lysis 'to unbind') is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds. The term is used broadly for substitution , elimination , and solvation reactions in which water is the nucleophile .
