Electrons can spur the chemical reaction between an acid and a base, according to new results in Science, a finding that may help researchers precisely control reactions in areas from biology to ...

Terpenoid cyclases catalyze the most complex reactions in biology, in that more than half of the substrate carbon atoms often undergo changes in bonding during the course of a multistep cyclization ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A well-established technique, acid-base titration is an analytical method used to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base. In practice, it involves adding a solution of known strength ...
