  2. Irrational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

    Examples are e r and π r, which are transcendental for all nonzero rational r. Because the algebraic numbers form a subfield of the real numbers, many irrational real numbers can be constructed by combining transcendental and algebraic numbers. For example, 3 π + 2, π + √ 2 and e √ 3 are irrational (and even transcendental).

  3. Aqua regia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_regia

    2 NOCl → 2 NO + Cl 2. This dissociation is equilibrium-limited. Therefore, in addition to nitrosyl chloride and chlorine, the fumes over aqua regia also contain nitric oxide (NO). Because nitric oxide readily reacts with atmospheric oxygen, the gases produced also contain nitrogen dioxide, NO 2 (red fume): 2 NO + O 2 → 2 NO 2

  4. Rational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_number

    In mathematics, "rational" is often used as a noun abbreviating "rational number". The adjective rational sometimes means that the coefficients are rational numbers. For example, a rational point is a point with rational coordinates (i.e., a point whose coordinates are rational numbers); a rational matrix is a matrix of rational numbers; a rational polynomial may be a polynomial with rational ...

    Practically no sunlight reaches the parts of the oceans below 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) of depth. The refractive index of liquid water (1.333 at 20 °C (68 °F)) is much higher than that of air (1.0), similar to those of alkanes and ethanol , but lower than those of glycerol (1.473), benzene (1.501), carbon disulfide (1.627), and common types of ...

  6. Aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_solution

    For example, a solution of table salt, also known as sodium chloride (NaCl), in water would be represented as Na + (aq) + Cl − (aq). The word aqueous (which comes from aqua) means pertaining to, related to, similar to, or dissolved in, water. [1] [2] As water is an excellent solvent and is also naturally abundant, it is a ubiquitous solvent ...

  8. Water activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_activity

    In food science, water activity (a w) of a food is the ratio of its vapor pressure to the vapor pressure of water at the same temperature, both taken at equilibrium. [1] Pure water has a water activity of one.

  9. Water quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_quality

    A rosette sampler is used for collecting water samples in deep water, such as the Great Lakes or oceans, for water quality testing.. Water quality refers to the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water based on the standards of its usage.
