Acid–base reactions are ubiquitous in nature. Understanding their mechanisms is crucial in many fields, from biochemistry to industrial catalysis. Unfortunately, experiments give only limited ...

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 ...

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 ...

First-ever observation of electronic states in aqueous acetic acid reveals water’s unexpected influence To perform the experiment, the researchers developed a new liquid cell 2 that could be bolted ...

To define "steady-state" chronic hypercapnia in man, we studied 20 patients with stable carbon dioxide tensions from 34 to 103 mm of mercury and with no apparent complicating disorders. The whole-body ...

The isoelectric point (pI) is the point at which the net charge on a molecule is zero. pI is most commonly examined for proteins. Each of the amino acids in a protein carries a distinct charge, and ...
