  2. Nitrogen trichloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_trichloride

    Nitrogen trichloride, also known as trichloramine, is the chemical compound with the formula NCl 3.This yellow, oily, and explosive liquid is most commonly encountered as a product of chemical reactions between ammonia-derivatives and chlorine (for example, in swimming pools).

  3. Sodium chlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chlorate

    Industrially, sodium chlorate is produced by the electrolysis of concentrated sodium chloride solutions. All other processes are obsolete. The sodium chlorate process is not to be confused with the chloralkali process, which is an industrial process for the electrolytic production of sodium hydroxide and chlorine gas.

  4. Electrolyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte

    An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity through the movement of ions, but not through the movement of electrons. [1] [2] [3] This includes most soluble salts, acids, and bases, dissolved in a polar solvent like water. Upon dissolving, the substance separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly throughout the ...

  5. Supporting electrolyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supporting_electrolyte

    A supporting electrolyte, in electrochemistry, according to an IUPAC definition, [1] is an electrolyte containing chemical species that are not electroactive (within the range of potentials used) and which has an ionic strength and conductivity much larger than those due to the electroactive species added to the electrolyte.

  6. Osmolyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmolyte

    When a cell swells due to external osmotic pressure, membrane channels open and allow efflux of osmolytes carrying water, restoring normal cell volume. These molecules are involved in counteracting the effects of osmotic stress, which occurs when there are fluctuations in the concentration of solutes (such as ions and sugars) inside and outside ...

  7. Aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_solution

    Those strong electrolytes are substances that are completely ionized in water, whereas the weak electrolytes exhibit only a small degree of ionization in water. [1] The ability for ions to move freely through the solvent is a characteristic of an aqueous strong electrolyte solution.

  8. Non-Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid

    Paint is a non-newtonian fluid. A flat surface covered with white paint is oriented vertically (before taking the picture the flat surface was horizontal, placed on a table). The fluid starts dripping down the surface but, because of its non-newtonian nature, it is subjected to stress due to the gravitational acceleration. Therefore, instead of ...

  9. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

    Electrolyte imbalance, or water-electrolyte imbalance, is an abnormality in the concentration of electrolytes in the body. Electrolytes play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis in the body. They help to regulate heart and neurological function, fluid balance , oxygen delivery , acid–base balance and much more.
