  2. Coproduct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coproduct

    The coproduct in the category of sets is simply the disjoint union with the maps i j being the inclusion maps.Unlike direct products, coproducts in other categories are not all obviously based on the notion for sets, because unions don't behave well with respect to preserving operations (e.g. the union of two groups need not be a group), and so coproducts in different categories can be ...

  3. By-product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/By-product

    The plastic used in plastic shopping bags also started as a by-product of oil refining. [1] By-products are sometimes called co-products to indicate that although they are secondary, they are desired products. For example, hides and leather may be called co-products of beef production. There is no strict distinction between by-products and co ...

  4. Limit (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(category_theory)

    The limit L of F is called the product of these objects. The cone φ consists of a family of morphisms φ X : L → F(X) called the projections of the product. In the category of sets, for instance, the products are given by Cartesian products and the projections are just the natural projections onto the various factors. Powers.

  5. Product (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Much of chemistry research is focused on the synthesis and characterization of beneficial products, as well as the detection and removal of undesirable products. Synthetic chemists can be subdivided into research chemists who design new chemicals and pioneer new methods for synthesizing chemicals, as well as process chemists who scale up chemical production and make it safer, more ...

  6. Additive category - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_category

    In a preadditive category, every finitary product is necessarily a coproduct, and hence a biproduct, and conversely every finitary coproduct is necessarily a product (this is a consequence of the definition, not a part of it). The empty product, is a final object and the empty product in the case of an empty diagram, an initial object. Both ...

  7. Complete category - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_category

    Since equalizers may be constructed from pullbacks and binary products (consider the pullback of (f, g) along the diagonal Δ), a category is complete if and only if it has pullbacks and products. Dually, a category is cocomplete if and only if it has coequalizers and all (small) coproducts, or, equivalently, pushouts and coproducts.

  8. List of reagents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reagents

    is an alkaline solution of potassium permanganate; used in organic chemistry as a qualitative test for the presence of unsaturation, such as double bonds; N-Bromosuccinimide: used in radical substitution and electrophilic addition reactions in organic chemistry. Also acts as a mild oxidizer to oxidize benzylic or allylic alcohols.

  9. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...
