New computer calculations have revealed that a century-long assumption in chemistry is wrong. At the crux of the matter is the movement of the hydroxide ion, OH –, in water. Hydroxide ions and protons ...

This OH-conductivity is 10 to 100 times higher than that of conventional OH-conductors, and is the highest even among inorganic anion conductors. LDH nanosheets may be applicable as solid electrolytes ...

Molecular collisions at low temperatures have become known as a feature-rich quantum mechanical scattering problem. Theoretical calculations more than a decade ago have shown that a plethora of ...

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 ...

This lab includes a theoretical explanation of how buffers work and how they are made, including a derivation of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Students will use what they have learned to ...

The pH is a negative logarithmic scale, which measures the molar concentration of hydrogen ions from 1 to 10 14 ions. It therefore has no unit of measurement. Numbers on a negative logarithmic scale ...

Imines are one of several reactive groups, called functional groups, that are present in a compound. The mechanism by which the compound reacts is attributed to the properties of its functional group.
