  2. Benzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene

    Benzene causes chromosomal aberrations in the peripheral blood leukocytes and bone marrow explaining the higher incidence of leukemia and multiple myeloma caused by chronic exposure. These aberrations can be monitored using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with DNA probes to assess the effects of benzene along with the hematological ...

  3. Ortho effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortho_effect

    There are three main ortho effects in substituted benzene compounds: Steric hindrance forces cause substitution of a chemical group in the ortho position of benzoic acids become stronger acids. Steric inhibition of protonation caused by substitution of anilines to become weaker bases, compared to substitution of isomers in the meta and para ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    The plasma contains 91.5% water, 7% proteins and 1.5% other solutes. The formed elements are platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells. The presence of these formed elements and their interaction with plasma molecules are the main reasons why blood differs so much from ideal Newtonian fluids. [1]

    Stability: Stable, but very flammable Melting point: 5.5 C Water solubility: negligible Specific gravity: 0.87 Principal hazards *** Benzene is a carcinogen (cancer-causing agent). *** Very flammable. The pure material, and any solutions containing it, constitute a fire risk. Safe handling

  6. Solvent effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent_effects

    Water, being the most polar-solvent listed above, stabilizes the ionized species to a greater extent than does DMSO or Acetonitrile. Ionization - and, thus, acidity - would be greatest in water and lesser in DMSO and Acetonitrile, as seen in the table below, which shows p K a values at 25 °C for acetonitrile (ACN) [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] and ...

  7. Ligand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand

    This enhanced stability, called the chelate effect, is usually attributed to effects of entropy, which favors the displacement of many ligands by one polydentate ligand. Related to the chelate effect is the macrocyclic effect. A macrocyclic ligand is any large ligand that at least partially surrounds the central atom and bonds to it, leaving ...

  9. 1,4-Benzoquinone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,4-Benzoquinone

    1,4-Benzoquinone is a toxic metabolite found in human blood and can be used to track exposure to benzene or mixtures containing benzene and benzene compounds, such as petrol. [25] The compound can interfere with cellular respiration, and kidney damage has been found in animals receiving severe exposure.
