A research team in South Korea has developed a cutting-edge catalytic and separation process that enables the simultaneous production of xylonic acid and xylitol from xylose under ambient conditions, ...

Capturing the acid-base reactions in alcohol Date: March 21, 2016 Source: Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) Summary: A new study has been regarded as "very important ...

SOME years ago Shedlovsky 1,2 suggested that proton transfer reactions could give rise directly to e.m.f., and apparently confirmed this idea by demonstrating that a glass electrode, coated with ...

A neutralisation reaction is one in which an acid reacts with a base to form water. A salt is also formed in this reaction. Bases are metal oxides, metal hydroxides and metal carbonates. In the ...

Neutralisation is the reaction of an acid with a base that results in the pH moving towards seven. It is a useful process that occurs in everyday life such as in the treatment of acid indigestion ...

Simple reaction makes the building blocks of a nucleic acid "Cyanide to the RNA base cytosine" becomes a new clue for origin of life researchers.

IntroductionAn acid-base indicator is a substance that changes color as the pH of the solution changes. Indicators work because they are weak acids which when in solution, exist in equilibrium with ...

Sodium hydroxide is added to a cylinder of aluminum nitrate, precipitating out aluminum hydroxide. When additional base is added, the precipitate dissolves. The reactions can then be reversed with the ...

We have a better idea of how the pecking order is playing out for the Colts, rapidly approaching Week 1 of preseason.

Measurements of the pH of the Coke before and after the experiments showed that its acidity did not change, ruling out the idea that a simple acid-base reaction drives the fountains.
