  2. Molten salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt

    Molten salt is salt which is solid at standard temperature and pressure but liquified due to elevated temperature. A salt that is liquid even at standard temperature and pressure is usually called a room-temperature ionic liquid , and molten salts are technically a class of ionic liquids.

    Nail polish, whipped cream, ketchup, molasses, syrups, paper pulp in water, latex paint, ice, blood, some silicone oils, some silicone coatings, sand in water: Generalized Newtonian fluids: Viscosity is function of the shear strain rate. Stress depends on normal and shear strain rates and also the pressure applied on it Blood plasma, custard, water

  4. Freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing

    Most liquids freeze by crystallization, formation of crystalline solid from the uniform liquid. This is a first-order thermodynamic phase transition, which means that as long as solid and liquid coexist, the temperature of the whole system remains very nearly equal to the melting point due to the slow removal of heat when in contact with air, which is a poor heat conductor.

  5. Solid acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_acid

    Crystalline benzoic acid shown here is a solid and an acid, but, in the context of this article, it is not a "solid acid", which are polymeric materials and typically stronger acids. Examples of inorganic solid acids include silico-aluminates ( zeolites , alumina , silico-aluminophosphate), and sulfated zirconia .

  6. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Another name is dihydrogen monoxide, which is a rarely used name of water, and mostly used in the dihydrogen monoxide parody. Other systematic names for water include hydroxic acid, hydroxylic acid, and hydrogen hydroxide, using acid and base names. [j] None of these exotic names are used widely. The polarized form of the water molecule, H + OH −

  7. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

    Salts that produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water are called alkali salts, and salts that produce hydrogen ions when dissolved in water are called acid salts. If the compound is the result of a reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the result is an acid salt.

  8. Fatty acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid

    This analysis is used to determine the free fatty acid content of fats; i.e., the proportion of the triglycerides that have been hydrolyzed. Neutralization of fatty acids, one form of saponification (soap-making), is a widely practiced route to metallic soaps .
