Water’s unrivaled omnipresence and the crucial role it plays in life drive scientists to understand every detail of its unusual underlying properties on the microscopic scale. Researchers now report ...

Water molecules can break down into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. \(H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq)+OH^{-}(aq)\) This is a reversible reaction. A small proportion of water molecules break up ...

in 1909 S.P.L Sorenson, a Danish biochemist devised a scale known as pH to represents the H + ion concentration of an aqueous solution. The pH value of any solution is a number that simply represents ...

Researchers have been able to directly visualize the neutral products of the mutual neutralization of hydronium and hydroxide, and report three different product channels: two channels were attributed ...

the more vigorous its reactions are the more easily it loses electrons in reactions to form positive ions (cations) The table summarises some reactions of metals in the reactivity series. Hydrogen and ...

A new study provides fresh insight into traditional acid-base chemistry by revealing that the mutual neutralization of isolated hydronium (H₃O⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions is driven by electron transfer ...

Researchers have developed carbon cloth electrodes that efficiently remove boron from seawater, potentially replacing costly chemicals in desalination. The electrodes remove boron from desalinated ...

Complexes and preipitates of nickel (II) are formed by adding ammonium hydroxide, ethylenediamine, and dimethylglyoxime to dilute solutions of Ni2+ in beakers. Cyanide salts and solutions are ...
