  2. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    The bicarbonate buffer system is an acid-base homeostatic mechanism involving the balance of carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3), bicarbonate ion (HCO − 3 ), and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in order to maintain pH in the blood and duodenum , among other tissues, to support proper metabolic function. [ 1 ]

  3. Carbonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid

    Carbonic acid is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H 2 C O 3.The molecule rapidly converts to water and carbon dioxide in the presence of water. However, in the absence of water, it is quite stable at room temperature.

  4. Sabatier reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction

    Paul Sabatier (1854-1941) winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 and discoverer of the reaction in 1897. The Sabatier reaction or Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures (optimally 300–400 °C) and pressures (perhaps 3 MPa [1]) in the presence of a nickel catalyst.

  5. Carbonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonation

    Since carbonation is the process of giving compounds like carbonic acid (liq) from CO 2 (gas) {i.e. making liquid from gasses} thus the partial pressure of CO 2 has to decrease or the mole fraction of CO 2 in solution has to increase {P CO 2 /x CO 2 = K B} and both these two conditions support increase in carbonation.

  6. Chloride shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloride_shift

    It dissolves in the solution of blood plasma and into red blood cells (RBC), where carbonic anhydrase catalyzes its hydration to carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3). Carbonic acid then spontaneously dissociates to form bicarbonate Ions (HCO 3 −) and a hydrogen ion (H +). In response to the decrease in intracellular pCO 2, more CO 2 passively diffuses ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Longwave_Absorption...

    English: This chart plots the absorption coefficient of water vapor and carbon dioxide, for electromagnetic radiation with wavenumber values (i.e., frequency divided by the speed of light) in the range 200-1600 cm-1 (wavelengths in the range 6.25-50 microns).

  8. Hofmann rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofmann_rearrangement

    The Hofmann rearrangement (Hofmann degradation) is the organic reaction of a primary amide to a primary amine with one less carbon atom. [1] [2] [3] The reaction involves oxidation of the nitrogen followed by rearrangement of the carbonyl and nitrogen to give an isocyanate intermediate.

  9. Soda geyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_geyser

    A soda geyser is a physical reaction between a carbonated beverage, usually Diet Coke, and Mentos mints that causes the beverage to be expelled from its container. The candies catalyze the release of gas from the beverage, which creates an eruption that pushes most of the liquid up and out of the bottle.
