As the sodium salt of ascorbic acid, it is known as a mineral ascorbate. It has not been demonstrated to be more bioavailable than any other form of vitamin C supplement. [2] Sodium ascorbate normally provides 131 mg of sodium per 1,000 mg of ascorbic acid (1,000 mg of sodium ascorbate contains 889 mg of ascorbic acid and 111 mg of sodium).
Heroin users are known to use ascorbic acid as a means to convert heroin base to a water-soluble salt so that it can be injected. [21] As justified by its reaction with iodine, it is used to negate the effects of iodine tablets in water purification. It reacts with the sterilized water, removing the taste, color, and smell of the iodine.
A strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid, at concentration 1 mol dm −3 has a pH of 0, while a strong alkali like sodium hydroxide, at the same concentration, has a pH of 14. Since pH is a logarithmic scale, a difference of one in pH is equivalent to a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration.
Sodium phenylbutyrate, sold under the brand name Buphenyl among others, is a salt of an aromatic fatty acid, 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) or 4-phenylbutyric acid. [7] The compound is used to treat urea cycle disorders , because its metabolites offer an alternative pathway to the urea cycle to allow excretion of excess nitrogen.
For example, in a reaction between potassium permanganate and sodium sulfite: Unbalanced reaction: KMnO 4 + Na 2 SO 3 + H 2 O → MnO 2 + Na 2 SO 4 + KOH Reduction: 3 e − + 2 H 2 O + MnO − 4 → MnO 2 + 4 OH − Oxidation: 2 OH − + SO 2− 3 → SO 2− 4 + H 2 O + 2 e −. Here, 'spectator ions' (K +, Na +) were omitted from the half ...
The inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reaction, or DA INV or IEDDA [1] is an organic chemical reaction, in which two new chemical bonds and a six-membered ring are formed. It is related to the Diels–Alder reaction , but unlike the Diels–Alder (or DA) reaction, the DA INV is a cycloaddition between an electron-rich dienophile and an ...
Cover of the European Pharmacopoeia, 11th Edition. The European Pharmacopoeia [1] (Pharmacopoeia Europaea, Ph. Eur.) is a major regional pharmacopoeia which provides common quality standards throughout the pharmaceutical industry in Europe to control the quality of medicines, and the substances used to manufacture them.

Arginine has a charged guanidino group and lysine a charged alkyl amino group, and are fully protonated at pH 7. Histidine's imidazole group has a pK a of 6.0, and is only around 10% protonated at neutral pH. Because histidine is easily found in its basic and conjugate acid forms it often participates in catalytic proton transfers in enzyme ...
