  2. Potassium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_sulfate

    Potassium sulfate (K 2 SO 4) has been known since early in the 14th century.It was studied by Glauber, Boyle, and Tachenius.In the 17th century, it was named arcanuni or sal duplicatum, as it was a combination of an acid salt with an alkaline salt.

  3. Potassium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_hydroxide

    ca(oh) 2 + k 2 co 3 → caco 3 + 2 koh Filtering off the precipitated calcium carbonate and boiling down the solution gives potassium hydroxide ("calcinated or caustic potash"). This method of producing potassium hydroxide remained dominant until the late 19th century, when it was largely replaced by the current method of electrolysis of ...

  4. Cannizzaro reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannizzaro_reaction

    2 C 6 H 5 CHO + KOH → C 6 H 5 CH 2 OH + C 6 H 5 COOK. The process is a redox reaction involving transfer of a hydride from one substrate molecule to the other: one aldehyde is oxidized to form the acid, the other is reduced to form the alcohol. [3]

  5. Molar concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_concentration

    Molar concentration or molarity is most commonly expressed in units of moles of solute per litre of solution. [1] For use in broader applications, it is defined as amount of substance of solute per unit volume of solution, or per unit volume available to the species, represented by lowercase : [2]

  6. Hydroxyl value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyl_value

    The conversion between hydroxyl value and other hydroxyl content measurements is obtained by multiplying the hydroxyl value by the factor 17/560. [2] The chemical substance may be a fat, oil, natural or synthetic ester, or other polyol. [3] ASTM D 1957 [4] and ASTM E222-10 [5] describe several versions of this method of determining hydroxyl value.

  7. Potassium sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_sulfide

    It can be produced by heating K 2 SO 4 with carbon : K 2 SO 4 + 4 C → K 2 S + 4 CO. In the laboratory, pure K 2 S may be prepared by the reaction of potassium and sulfur in anhydrous ammonia. [4] Sulfide is highly basic, consequently K 2 S completely and irreversibly hydrolyzes in water according to the following equation: K 2 S + H 2 O → ...

  8. Double salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_salt

    Mohr's salt, ammonium iron(II) sulfate, [NH 4] 2 [Fe(H 2 O) 6](SO 4) 2.. A double salt is a salt that contains two or more different cations or anions.Examples of double salts include alums (with the general formula M I M III (SO 4) 2 ·12H 2 O) and Tutton's salts (with the general formula (M I) 2 M II (SO 4) 2 ·6H 2 O).

  9. Koch reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_reaction

    The Koch reaction is an organic reaction for the synthesis of tertiary carboxylic acids from alcohols or alkenes and carbon monoxide.Some commonly industrially produced Koch acids include pivalic acid, 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid and 2,2-dimethylpentanoic acid. [1]
