  2. Piperidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piperidine

    Unlike cyclohexane, piperidine has two distinguishable chair conformations: one with the N–H bond in an axial position, and the other in an equatorial position. After much controversy during the 1950s–1970s, the equatorial conformation was found to be more stable by 0.72 kcal/mol in the gas phase. [20]

    However, different criteria still allow to distinguish liquid-like and more gas-like states of a supercritical fluid. These criteria result in different boundaries in the pT plane. These lines emanate either from the critical point, or from the liquid–vapor boundary (boiling curve) somewhat below the critical point.

    Piperidine, a cyclic six-membered amine that results from hydrolysis of piperine; Piperic acid, the carboxylic acid also derived from hydrolysis of piperine; Capsaicin, the active piquant chemical in chili peppers; Allyl isothiocyanate, the active piquant chemical in mustard, radishes, horseradish, and wasabi

  5. Triple point of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_point

    A typical phase diagram.The solid green line applies to most substances; the dashed green line gives the anomalous behavior of water. In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. [1]

  6. Supercritical fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_fluid

    A supercritical fluid (SCF) is a substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist, but below the pressure required to compress it into a solid. [1] It can effuse through porous solids like a gas, overcoming the mass transfer limitations that slow liquid transport through such ...

  7. Partition coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_coefficient

    K ow, being a type of partition coefficient, serves as a measure of the relationship between lipophilicity (fat solubility) and hydrophilicity (water solubility) of a substance. The value is greater than one if a substance is more soluble in fat-like solvents such as n-octanol, and less than one if it is more soluble in water. [citation needed]

  8. Piper diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_diagram

    A Piper diagram is a graphic procedure proposed by Arthur M. Piper in 1944 for presenting water chemistry data to help in understanding the sources of the dissolved constituent salts in water. This procedure is based on the premise that cations and anions in water are in such amounts to assure the electroneutrality of the dissolved salts, in ...

  9. Louisville sewer explosions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisville_sewer_explosions

    The Ralston-Purina plant used hexane as a solvent to extract oil from soybeans. The plant employed a containment system designed to recycle used hexane from the process back to the plant. However, the containment system was not functioning that night, and a large quantity of hexane was released into the sewers.
