  2. Graphene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene

    Graphene is the strongest material ever tested, [7] [8] with an intrinsic tensile strength of 130 GPa (19,000,000 psi) (with representative engineering tensile strength ~50-60 GPa for stretching large-area freestanding graphene) and a Young's modulus (stiffness) close to 1 TPa (150,000,000 psi).

  3. Oxidizing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_agent

    The international pictogram for oxidizing chemicals. Dangerous goods label for oxidizing agents. An oxidizing agent (also known as an oxidant, oxidizer, electron recipient, or electron acceptor) is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent (called the reductant, reducer, or electron donor).

  4. Fluoroantimonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroantimonic_acid

    Fluoroantimonic acid is the strongest superacid based on the measured value of its Hammett acidity function (H 0), which has been determined for various ratios of HF:SbF 5. The H 0 of HF is −15. [5] A solution of HF containing 1 mol % of SbF 5 is −20. The H 0 is −21 for 10 mol%. For > 50 mol % SbF 5, the H 0 is between −21 and −23.

    Paper Coating 1) The paper or board 2) The first layer of coating to even out the surface 3) A second layer for an even smoother and whiter surface. Pigments that absorb in the yellow and red part of the visible spectrum can be added. As the dye absorbs light, the brightness of the paper will decrease, unlike the effect of an optical ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superacid

    At 140 °C (284 °F), FSO 3 H–SbF 5 protonates methane to give the tertiary-butyl carbocation, a reaction that begins with the protonation of methane: [4] CH 4 + H + → CH + 5 CH + 5 → CH + 3 + H 2 CH + 3 + 3 CH 4 → (CH 3) 3 C + + 3H 2. Common uses of superacids include providing an environment to create, maintain, and characterize ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pourbaix_diagram

    Pourbaix diagram of iron. [1] The Y axis corresponds to voltage potential. In electrochemistry, and more generally in solution chemistry, a Pourbaix diagram, also known as a potential/pH diagram, E H –pH diagram or a pE/pH diagram, is a plot of possible thermodynamically stable phases (i.e., at chemical equilibrium) of an aqueous electrochemical system.

  8. Acidic paper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidic_paper

    A book printed in 1920 on acidic paper, having visibly disintegrated. In the mid-nineteenth century, a method of paper production became popular in which resin-alum glue was added to the paper pulp, [3] and the aluminum sulphate remaining in the paper, in reaction with water, forms acids.

  9. Magic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_acid

    Magic acid (FSO 3 H·SbF 5) is a superacid consisting of a mixture, most commonly in a 1:1 molar ratio, of fluorosulfuric acid (HSO 3 F) and antimony pentafluoride (SbF 5).This conjugate Brønsted–Lewis superacid system was developed in the 1960s by Ronald Gillespie and his team at McMaster University, [1] and has been used by George Olah to stabilise carbocations and hypercoordinated ...
