    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  3. Exchange value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_value

    a value, represented by the socially necessary labour time to produce it (Note: the first link is to a non-Marxian definition of value); a use value (or utility); an exchange value, which is the proportion at which a commodity can be exchanged for other entities; a price (an actual selling price, or an imputed ideal price).

  4. Excess property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_property

    In chemical thermodynamics, excess properties are properties of mixtures which quantify the non-ideal behavior of real mixtures. They are defined as the difference between the value of the property in a real mixture and the value that would exist in an ideal solution under the same conditions.

  5. Use value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_value

    Use-value as an aspect of the commodity coincides with the physical palpable existence of the commodity. Wheat, for example, is a distinct use-value differing from the use-values of cotton, glass, paper, etc. A use-value has value only in use, and is realized only in the process of consumption. One and the same use-value can be used in various ...

  6. Commodity (Marxism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_(Marxism)

    A commodity also has a use value [6] and an exchange value. [7] It has a use value because, by its intrinsic characteristics, it can satisfy some human need or want, physical or ideal. [8] By nature this is a social use value, i.e. the object is useful not just to the producer but has a use for others generally. [9]

  7. Intensive and extensive properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive...

    A specific property is the intensive property obtained by dividing an extensive property of a system by its mass. For example, heat capacity is an extensive property of a system. Dividing heat capacity, , by the mass of the system gives the specific heat capacity, , which is an intensive property. When the extensive property is represented by ...

  8. Value-in-use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value-in-use

    Value-in-use is the net present value (NPV) of a cash flow or other benefits that an asset generates for a specific owner under a specific use. In the U.S., it is generally estimated at a use which is less than highest-and-best use, and therefore it is generally lower than market value .

  9. Chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

    Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.
