  2. 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.

  3. Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory - Wikipedia

    Gilbert cloud chamber, assembled An alternative view of kit contents. The lab contained a cloud chamber allowing the viewer to watch alpha particles traveling at 12,000 miles per second (19,000,000 m/s), a spinthariscope showing the results of radioactive disintegration on a fluorescent screen, and an electroscope measuring the radioactivity of different substances in the set.

  4. Heterogeneous catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_catalysis

    Catalyst deactivation is defined as a loss in catalytic activity and/or selectivity over time. Substances that decrease reaction rate are called poisons. Poisons chemisorb to catalyst surface and reduce the number of available active sites for reactant molecules to bind to. [22]

  5. Free-radical halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_halogenation

    A radical abstracts a hydrogen atom from methane, leaving a primary methyl radical. The methyl radical then abstracts Cl • from Cl 2 to give the desired product and another chlorine radical. Methane chlorination: propagation The radical will then participate in another propagation reaction: the radical chain. Other products such as CH 2 Cl 2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_model

    Beever's ball and stick model of ruby (Cr-doped corundum) made with acrylic balls and stainless steel rods. However, most molecules require holes at other angles and specialist companies manufacture kits and bespoke models. Besides tetrahedral, trigonal and octahedral holes, there were all-purpose balls with 24 holes. These models allowed ...

  7. Dichlorocarbene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichlorocarbene

    Dichlorocarbene is an intermediate in the carbylamine reaction.In this conversion, a dichloromethane solution of a primary amine is treated with chloroform and aqueous sodium hydroxide in the presence of catalytic amount of the phase-transfer catalyst.

  8. Methane functionalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_functionalization

    Another example of acetic acid synthesis was demonstrated by Pombeiro et al., which used vanadium-based complexes in trifluoroacetic acid with peroxodisulfate as the oxidant. [8] The proposed mechanism involves a radical mechanism, where methane is the methyl source and trifluoroacetic acid is the carbonyl source.

  9. Olefin metathesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olefin_metathesis

    Reaction scheme of the olefin metathesis – changing groups are colored. In organic chemistry, olefin metathesis is an organic reaction that entails the redistribution of fragments of alkenes (olefins) by the scission and regeneration of carbon-carbon double bonds.
