  2. Ammonia borane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_borane

    The molecule adopts a structure similar to that of ethane, with which it is isoelectronic. The B−N distance is 1.58(2) Å. The B−H and N−H distances are 1.15 and 0.96 Å, respectively. Its similarity to ethane is tenuous since ammonia borane is a solid and ethane is a gas: their melting points differing by 284 °C.

  3. Boron trifluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron_trifluoride

    It forms by treatment of a mixture boron trioxide and sodium tetrafluoroborate with sulfuric acid: [12] 6 Na[BF 4] + B 2 O 3 + 6 H 2 SO 4 → 8 BF 3 + 6 NaHSO 4 + 3 H 2 O. Alternatively, boron tribromide converts various organofluorine compounds to organobromines, evolving the trifluoride gas: [13] 3 R–F + BBr 3 → 3 R–Br + BF 3

  4. Ethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene

    Ethylene has long represented the major nonfermentative precursor to ethanol. The original method entailed its conversion to diethyl sulfate, followed by hydrolysis. The main method practiced since the mid-1990s is the direct hydration of ethylene catalyzed by solid acid catalysts: [18] C 2 H 4 + H 2 O → CH 3 CH 2 OH

  5. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    [1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.

  6. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    Such a mixture can be either a solid solution, eutectic or peritectic, among others. These two types of mixtures result in very different graphs. Another type of binary phase diagram is a boiling-point diagram for a mixture of two components, i. e. chemical compounds. For two particular volatile components at a certain pressure such as ...

  7. Triple point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_point

    A typical phase diagram.The solid green line applies to most substances; the dashed green line gives the anomalous behavior of water. In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. [1]

  8. Heterogeneous combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_Combustion

    Heterogeneous combustion, otherwise known as combustion in porous media, is a type of combustion in which a solid and gas phase interact to promote the complete transfer of reactants to their lower energy potential products. In this type of combustion a high surface area solid is immersed into a gaseous reacting flow, additional fluid phases ...

  9. Flammability diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammability_diagram

    Consider the first triangular diagram below, which shows all possible mixtures of methane, oxygen and nitrogen. Air is a mixture of about 21 volume percent oxygen, and 79 volume percent inerts (nitrogen). Any mixture of methane and air will therefore lie on the straight line between pure methane and pure air – this is shown as the blue air-line.
