  2. Dehydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydration_reaction

    The reaction is induced by dehydrating reagents. For example, 2-methyl-cyclohexan-1-ol dehydrates to 1-methylcyclohexene in the presence of Martin's sulfurane, which reacts irreversibly with water. [6] [7] Double dehydration is illustrated by the conversion of glycerol to acrolein: [8] [9]

  3. 1-Butanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Butanol

    1-Butanol, also known as butan-1-ol or n-butanol, is a primary alcohol with the chemical formula C 4 H 9 OH and a linear structure. Isomers of 1-butanol are isobutanol, butan-2-ol and tert-butanol. The unmodified term butanol usually refers to the straight chain isomer.

  4. Hydration energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_energy

    For instance, water warms when treated with CaCl 2 (anhydrous calcium chloride) as a consequence of the large heat of hydration. However, the hexahydrate, CaCl 2 ·6H 2 O cools the water upon dissolution. The latter happens because the hydration energy does not completely overcome the lattice energy, and the remainder has to be taken from the ...

  5. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    When necessary, the position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number between the alkane name and the -ol: propan-1-ol for CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, propan-2-ol for CH 3 CH(OH)CH 3. If a higher priority group is present (such as an aldehyde , ketone , or carboxylic acid ), then the prefix hydroxy- is used, [ 19 ] e.g., as in 1-hydroxy-2 ...

  6. Rate of heat flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_heat_flow

    The rate of heat flow is the amount of heat that is transferred per unit of time in some material, usually measured in watts (joules per second). Heat is the flow of thermal energy driven by thermal non-equilibrium, so the term 'heat flow' is a redundancy (i.e. a pleonasm). Heat must not be confused with stored thermal energy, and moving a hot ...

  7. Dehydration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydration

    Chronic dehydration, such as from physically demanding jobs or decreased thirst, can lead to chronic kidney disease. [51] Elderly people with dehydration are at higher risk of confusion, urinary tract infections, falls, and even delayed wound healing. [52] In children with mild to moderate dehydration, oral hydration is adequate for a full ...

  8. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    The reaction is usually endothermic as heat is required to break chemical bonds in the compound undergoing decomposition. If decomposition is sufficiently exothermic, a positive feedback loop is created producing thermal runaway and possibly an explosion or other chemical reaction. Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction where heat is a ...

  9. Latent heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat

    A specific latent heat (L) expresses the amount of energy in the form of heat (Q) required to completely effect a phase change of a unit of mass (m), usually 1 kg, of a substance as an intensive property: =. Intensive properties are material characteristics and are not dependent on the size or extent of the sample.
