A new study has been regarded as "very important" because it offers a new framework for understanding reactions in organic chemistry. In their study, the team addressed the cooperative role of ...

Acids are chemical compounds that will ionize in water having a hydrogen ion (H+) active greater than that of water. Acids can give up a proton and they are of two types, it is strong acids and weak ...

Through consideration of the ionic equilibria of acids and bases, one may readily calculate the formation constant of a salt species solely on the basis of knowledge of the pKA value of the acid and ...

This review describes a method of analyzing acid–base disorders that incorporates insights from the traditional, bicarbonate-centered model and the Stewart (or strong ion) model (Table 1). 1–6 ...

An 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 their ...

Baking soda loses its potency once it's opened, even if it's transferred to an air-tight container. However, the powder will always be effective for some tasks.

Baking powder is a combination of baking soda and cream of tartar. The best substitute is a mix of those, but baking soda ...

Introduction Did you know that the juices in your stomach are nearly as acidic as lemon juice? Fortunately, your stomach has special cells that act as a barrier to the acid, preventing it from ...
