  2. Benedict's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict's_reagent

    Benedict's reagent (often called Benedict's qualitative solution or Benedict's solution) is a chemical reagent and complex mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. [1] It is often used in place of Fehling's solution to detect the presence of reducing sugars and other reducing substances. [2]

  3. Dakin's solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakin's_solution

    The solution left after removal of the insoluble calcium carbonate still contained some soda. [7] Boric acid (4%) was then added as a buffering agent to maintain a pH of between 9 and 10. Dakin found that alkalinity outside this range was too irritating. [17] The solution, while unstable, remains effective for at least a week, if made to the ...

  4. Candy thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_thermometer

    A candy thermometer, also known as a sugar thermometer or jam thermometer, is a cooking thermometer used to measure the temperature and therefore the stage of a cooking sugar solution. (See candy making for a description of sugar stages.) A candy thermometer is similar to a meat thermometer but can read higher temperatures, usually 400 °F/200 ...

  5. Electrospinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrospinning

    A polymer solution, sol-gel, particulate suspension or melt is loaded into the syringe and this liquid is extruded from the needle tip at a constant rate by a syringe pump. [8] Alternatively, the droplet at the tip of the spinneret can be replenished by feeding from a header tank providing a constant feed pressure.

    Nail polish, whipped cream, ketchup, molasses, syrups, paper pulp in water, latex paint, ice, blood, some silicone oils, some silicone coatings, sand in water: Generalized Newtonian fluids: Viscosity is function of the shear strain rate. Stress depends on normal and shear strain rates and also the pressure applied on it Blood plasma, custard, water

  7. Inverted sugar syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_sugar_syrup

    Dense inverted sugar syrup (Trimoline) Inverted sugar syrup, also called invert syrup, invert sugar, [1] simple syrup, sugar syrup, sugar water, bar syrup, syrup USP, or sucrose inversion, is a syrup mixture of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, that is made by hydrolytic saccharification of the disaccharide sucrose.

  8. Sol (colloid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_(colloid)

    A sol is a colloidal suspension made out of tiny solid particles [1] in a continuous liquid medium. Sols are stable, so that they do not settle down when left undisturbed, and exhibit the Tyndall effect, which is the scattering of light by the particles in the colloid. The size of the particles can vary from 1 nm - 100 nm.

  9. Sodium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate

    A manufacturer recommends a paste made from baking soda with minimal water as a gentle scouring powder. [29] Such a paste can be useful in removing surface rust because the rust forms a water-soluble compound when in a concentrated alkaline solution. [66] Cold water should be used since hot-water solutions can corrode steel. [67]
