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 ...

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 ...

Acid-base reactions occur simultaneously with gas transfer reactions in several common applications in water and wastewater treatment. A simple methodology to account quantitatively for the effects of ...

Chemists have long known that catalytic Lewis acidic and Lewis basic sites on metal and metal oxide surfaces help spark a range of reactions that are important in industrial chemical and fuel ...

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 ...

The tragic accident, when a restaurant manager in Massachusetts died, was the result of a simple chemical reaction called neutralization. That's when an acid and a base are combined. Unfortunately in ...

Several theories have been developed to explain the behaviour of acids and bases. The most notable theories include the Arrhenius concept, the Brønsted-Lowry theory, and the Lewis concept. In the ...
