  2. Ion transport number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_transport_number

    The practical importance of high (i.e. close to 1) transference numbers of the charge-shuttling ion (i.e. Li+ in lithium-ion batteries) is related to the fact, that in single-ion devices (such as lithium-ion batteries) electrolytes with the transfer number of the ion near 1, concentration gradients do not develop. A constant electrolyte ...

  3. Acid–base homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidbase_homeostasis

    An acid-base diagram for human plasma, showing the effects on the plasma pH when P CO 2 in mmHg or Standard Base Excess (SBE) occur in excess or are deficient in the plasma [23] Acidbase imbalance occurs when a significant insult causes the blood pH to shift out of the normal range (7.32 to 7.42 [16]).

  4. Acid–base reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidbase_reaction

    In chemistry, an acidbase reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base.It can be used to determine pH via titration.Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acidbase theories, for example, Brønsted–Lowry acidbase theory.

  5. Electrolyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte

    Sodium is the main electrolyte found in extracellular fluid and potassium is the main intracellular electrolyte; [20] both are involved in fluid balance and blood pressure control. [21] All known multicellular lifeforms require a subtle and complex electrolyte balance between the intracellular and extracellular environments. [19]

  6. Proton affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_affinity

    The higher the proton affinity, the stronger the base and the weaker the conjugate acid in the gas phase.The (reportedly) strongest known base is the ortho-diethynylbenzene dianion (E pa = 1843 kJ/mol), [3] followed by the methanide anion (E pa = 1743 kJ/mol) and the hydride ion (E pa = 1675 kJ/mol), [4] making methane the weakest proton acid [5] in the gas phase, followed by dihydrogen.

  7. Deprotonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprotonation

    Deprotonation of acetic acid by a hydroxide ion. Deprotonation (or dehydronation) is the removal (transfer) of a proton (or hydron, or hydrogen cation), (H +) from a Brønsted–Lowry acid in an acidbase reaction. [1] [2] The species formed is the conjugate base of that acid.

  8. Amphoterism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphoterism

    Another possibility is the molecular autoionization reaction between two water molecules, in which one water molecule acts as an acid and another as a base. + + + The bicarbonate ion, HCO − 3, is amphoteric as it can act as either an acid or a base:

  9. Predominance diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predominance_diagram

    At pH < 5.89 (pH < pK 1) the hydrogen chromate ion is predominant in dilute solution but the dichromate ion is predominant in more concentrated solutions. Predominance diagrams can become very complicated when many polymeric species can be formed as, for example, with vanadate , [ 4 ] molybdate [ 1 ] and tungstate . [ 1 ]
