The heterogeneous reaction of thiols with lead oxide to form insoluble lead thiolates is the basis for a new process that separates thiols from a hydrocarbon stream. The process uses inexpensive ...

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 ...

Bacterial styrene oxidase isomerase has been known to science for more than three decades, but its mechanism of action has ...

Benzenesulfonic acid is the simplest aromatic sulfonic acid. It is highly water-soluble and a strong acid with a pK a of –2.8. It has been known since at least the 1880s; its synthesis, which goes ...

Neutralisation is the reaction of an acid with a base that results in the pH moving towards seven. It is a useful process that occurs in everyday life such as in the treatment of acid indigestion and ...

When substances combine with oxygen the process is called oxidation and the compounds made are called oxides. The sparks in fireworks are made by burning different metals. The burning metals are ...
