    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycolaldehyde

    Glycolaldehyde has been identified in gas and dust near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, [20] in a star-forming region 26000 light-years from Earth, [21] and around a protostellar binary star, IRAS 16293-2422, 400 light years from Earth.

  3. Sodium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate

    It is produced on the scale of about 100,000 tonnes/year (as of 2001) [dubious – discuss] [96] with a worldwide production capacity of 2.4 million tonnes per year (as of 2002). [97] Commercial quantities of baking soda are also produced by a similar method: soda ash, mined in the form of the ore trona , is dissolved in water and treated with ...

  4. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    As calculated by the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation, in order to maintain a normal pH of 7.4 in the blood (whereby the pK a of carbonic acid is 6.1 at physiological temperature), a 20:1 ratio of bicarbonate to carbonic acid must constantly be maintained; this homeostasis is mainly mediated by pH sensors in the medulla oblongata of the brain ...

    The by-products are dimethyl sulfide (Me 2 S), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO 2) and – when triethylamine is used as base – triethylammonium chloride (C 6 H 15 NHCl). The related N-tert-Butylbenzenesulfinimidoyl chloride combines both the sulfur(IV), the base, and the activating Lewis acid in one molecule.

  6. Hydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_reaction

    H 2 SO 4 + C 2 H 4 → C 2 H 5-O-SO 3 H. Subsequently, this sulphate ester is hydrolyzed to regenerate sulphuric acid and release ethanol: C 2 H 5-O-SO 3 H + H 2 O → H 2 SO 4 + C 2 H 5 OH. This two step route is called the "indirect process". In the "direct process," the acid protonates the alkene, and water reacts with this incipient ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    Acetic acid / ə ˈ s iː t ɪ k /, systematically named ethanoic acid / ˌ ɛ θ ə ˈ n oʊ ɪ k /, is an acidic, colourless liquid and organic compound with the chemical formula CH 3 COOH (also written as CH 3 CO 2 H, C 2 H 4 O 2, or HC 2 H 3 O 2). Vinegar is at least 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar ...

    C 2 H 4 O 2 may refer to: Compounds sharing the molecular formula: Acetic acid; Dihydroxyethene isomers: 1,1-Dihydroxyethene (E)-1,2-Dihydroxyethene (Z)-1,2 ...

  9. Bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate

    The bicarbonate ion (hydrogencarbonate ion) is an anion with the empirical formula HCO − 3 and a molecular mass of 61.01 daltons; it consists of one central carbon atom surrounded by three oxygen atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement, with a hydrogen atom attached to one of the oxygens.
