A solution with a pH value which is less than 7 is acidic. The acids which react with metals usually have quite a low pH, of either 3 or less. Some metals react with acids and when they do the ...

Carboxylic acids can carry out the same reactions as other acids, for example the reactions with metals and metal carbonate. Carboxylic acids are weak acids, and will react more slowly than other, ...

There are 118 elements known at present. There are similarities as well as differences are the properties of these elements on the basis of their, all the element can be divided three types: Metal; ...

Origin-of-life researchers face a deceptively straightforward question: how did simple chemicals produce complex biochemistry? The complexity of this starts to come in when you consider the many ...

Benzenesulfonic acid is the simplest aromatic sulfonic acid. It is highly water-soluble and a strong acid with a pK a of –2.8. It has been known since at least the 1880s; its synthesis, which goes ...

This protocol describes the preparation of an N-methyl-asparagine-linked glycosyl amino acid, on the basis of a reaction between carboxylic acids and isonitriles. Under microwave/thermolysis, ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

Researchers have helped minimize the cost of an important class of chemical transformations: converting nitriles into primary amines. Their experimental protocol uses a cheap nickel catalyst instead ...
