In this review, we report ascorbic acid-catalyzed reactions in organic synthesis. Several examples are included in this review to demonstrate that ascorbic acid is a versatile catalyst for the ...

To probe the acid–base chemistry of both sides of the water surface, Colussi and co-workers monitored the deprotonation of a carboxylic acid (RCOOH, with R = C 5 H 11; Fig. 1a): the aqueous ...

Adding an acid increases the concentration of H 3 O + ions in the solution. Adding a base decreases the concentration of H 3 O + ions in the solution. An acid and a base are like chemical opposites.

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 ...

A solution with a pH between 5 and 7 is neutral, 8 or higher is a base, and 4 or lower is an acid. Lime juice, lemon juice and vinegar are acids, so they should have turned the indicator solution ...

Scope. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as ...

For SQA National 5 Chemistry, learn about the properties of acids and bases and how to tell them apart with this BBC Bitesize Scotland revision guide.

This article explains whether vinegar is an acid (acidic) or base (alkaline) and whether it matters. While it's known that vinegars are acidic, some people claim that certain types have an ...

Label a 100-mL beaker “ACID” and measure 50-mL of your buffer solution into this beaker. Label a second 100-mL beaker “BASE” and measure 50-mL of your buffer solution into that beaker. Set the BASE ...

The pH scale . The pH scale shows how acidic a substance is. Learn what pH means and how it is measured in this KS3 chemistry guide from BBC Bitesize.
