  2. Ammonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

    Amines can be formed by the reaction of ammonia with alkyl halides or, more commonly, with alcohols: CH 3 OH + NH 3 → CH 3 NH 2 + H 2 O. Its ring-opening reaction with ethylene oxide give ethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine. Amides can be prepared by the reaction of ammonia with carboxylic acid and their derivatives.

  3. Haber process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process

    The resulting compression heat is dissipated by heat exchangers; it is used to preheat raw gases. The actual production of ammonia takes place in the ammonia reactor. The first reactors were bursting under high pressure because the atomic hydrogen in the carbonaceous steel partially recombined into methane and produced cracks in the steel.

    [7] [53] [54] Furthermore, harkening back to Urey's original hypothesis of a "post-impact" reducing atmosphere, [23] a recent atmospheric modeling study has shown that an iron-rich impactor with a minimum mass around 4×10 20 – 5×10 21 kg would be enough to transiently reduce the entire prebiotic atmosphere, resulting in a Miller-Urey-esque ...

  6. Pyramidal inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_inversion

    In chemistry, pyramidal inversion (also umbrella inversion) is a fluxional process in compounds with a pyramidal molecule, such as ammonia (NH 3) "turns inside out". [1] [2] It is a rapid oscillation of the atom and substituents, the molecule or ion passing through a planar transition state. [3]

  7. Hyperthermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermia

    Heat stroke is an acute temperature elevation caused by exposure to excessive heat, or combination of heat and humidity, that overwhelms the heat-regulating mechanisms of the body. The latter is a relatively rare side effect of many drugs, particularly those that affect the central nervous system .

  8. Chemical thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_thermodynamics

    (The heat change at constant pressure is called the enthalpy change; in this case the widely tabulated enthalpies of formation are used.) A related term is the heat of combustion, which is the chemical energy released due to a combustion reaction and of interest in the study of fuels.

  9. Heat stroke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_stroke

    Heat stroke or heatstroke, also known as sun-stroke, is a severe heat illness that results in a body temperature greater than 40.0 °C (104.0 °F), [4] along with red skin, headache, dizziness, and confusion. [2] Sweating is generally present in exertional heatstroke, but not in classic heatstroke. [5] The start of heat stroke can be sudden or ...
