  3. 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]

  4. Toxicity category rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicity_category_rating

    In 40 CFR 156.62, the EPA established four Toxicity Categories for acute hazards of pesticide products, with "Category I" being the highest toxicity category (toxicity class). Most human hazard, precautionary statements, and human personal protective equipment statements are based upon the Toxicity Category of the pesticide product as sold or ...

  5. Gallium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_compounds

    Compounds containing Ga–Ga bonds are true gallium(II) compounds, such as GaS (which can be formulated as Ga 2 4+ (S 2−) 2) and the dioxan complex Ga 2 Cl 4 (C 4 H 8 O 2) 2. [1] There are also compounds of gallium with negative oxidation states, ranging from -5 to -1, most of these compounds being magnesium gallides (Mg x Ga y).

  6. Carbon tetrachloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tetrachloride

    Simpson named the compound "Chlorocarbon" for its similarity to chloroform. His experiments involved injecting carbon tetrachloride into two women's vaginas. Simpson orally consumed carbon tetrachloride and described it as having "the same effect as swallowing a capsule of chloroform".

  7. Cyanide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide

    In chemistry, cyanide (from Greek kyanos 'dark blue') is a chemical compound that contains a C≡N functional group. This group, known as the cyano group, consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom. [1] In inorganic cyanides, the cyanide group is present as the cyanide anion − C≡N. This anion is extremely poisonous.

  8. Lead(II) azide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead(II)_azide

    Lead(II) azide is prepared by the reaction of sodium azide and lead(II) nitrate in aqueous solution. [6] [5] Lead(II) acetate can also be used. [7] [8] Thickeners such as dextrin or polyvinyl alcohol are often added to the solution to stabilize the precipitated product. In fact, it is normally shipped in a dextrinated solution that lowers its ...

  9. Germanium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanium_compounds

    Germanium occurs mostly in the oxidation state +4 although many +2 compounds are known. [1] Other oxidation states are rare: +3 is found in compounds such as Ge 2 Cl 6, and +3 and +1 are found on the surface of oxides, [2] or negative oxidation states in germanides, such as −4 in Mg 2 Ge.
