  2. Nitrogen trichloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_trichloride

    Nitrogen trichloride, also known as trichloramine, is the chemical compound with the formula NCl 3.This yellow, oily, and explosive liquid is most commonly encountered as a product of chemical reactions between ammonia-derivatives and chlorine (for example, in swimming pools).

  3. Metabolic waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_waste

    Plants have metabolic pathways which transforms some of them (primarily the oxygen compounds) into useful substances. All the metabolic wastes are excreted in a form of water solutes through the excretory organs ( nephridia , Malpighian tubules , kidneys ), with the exception of CO 2 , which is excreted together with the water vapor throughout ...

    It is selectively taken up by plants, so there are a variety of possible roles in plant metabolism. [44] There is limited medical use. [11] Inhibits iron uptake and metabolism in a variety of plants and bacteria. [44] germanium: 32: 2a: Some plants will take it up, but it has no known metabolic role. [11] Some salts are deadly to some bacteria ...

    Potassium ion channels play a key role in maintaining the membrane's electric potential. These ion channels are present in many various biological systems. They frequently play a role in regulation of cellular level processes, many of these processes including muscle relaxation, hypertension, insulin secretion etc. [7] Some examples of potassium ion channels within biological systems include K ...

  6. Monochloramine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochloramine

    In swimming pools, chloramines are formed by the reaction of free chlorine with amine groups present in organic substances, mainly those biological in origin (e.g., urea in sweat and urine). Chloramines, compared to free chlorine, are both less effective as a sanitizer and, if not managed correctly, more irritating to the eyes of swimmers.

  7. Terpenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terpenoid

    The terpenoids, also known as isoprenoids, are a class of naturally occurring organic chemicals derived from the 5-carbon compound isoprene and its derivatives called terpenes, diterpenes, etc. While sometimes used interchangeably with "terpenes", terpenoids contain additional functional groups , usually containing oxygen.

  8. Supporting electrolyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supporting_electrolyte

    A supporting electrolyte, in electrochemistry, according to an IUPAC definition, [1] is an electrolyte containing chemical species that are not electroactive (within the range of potentials used) and which has an ionic strength and conductivity much larger than those due to the electroactive species added to the electrolyte.

  9. Inorganic nonaqueous solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inorganic_nonaqueous_solvent

    The limiting acid in a given solvent is the solvonium ion, such as H 3 O + ion in water.An acid which has more of a tendency to donate a hydrogen ion than the limiting acid will be a strong acid in the solvent considered, and will exist mostly or entirely in its dissociated form.
