  2. Proton affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_affinity

    The higher the proton affinity, the stronger the base and the weaker the conjugate acid in the gas phase.The (reportedly) strongest known base is the ortho-diethynylbenzene dianion (E pa = 1843 kJ/mol), [3] followed by the methanide anion (E pa = 1743 kJ/mol) and the hydride ion (E pa = 1675 kJ/mol), [4] making methane the weakest proton acid [5] in the gas phase, followed by dihydrogen.

  3. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    Acetic acid injection into a tumor has been used to treat cancer since the 1800s. [53] [54] Acetic acid is used as part of cervical cancer screening in many areas in the developing world. [55] The acid is applied to the cervix and if an area of white appears after about a minute the test is positive. [55]

  4. Deprotonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprotonation

    Deprotonation of acetic acid by a hydroxide ion. Deprotonation (or dehydronation) is the removal (transfer) of a proton (or hydron, or hydrogen cation), (H +) from a Brønsted–Lowry acid in an acidbase reaction. [1] [2] The species formed is the conjugate base of that acid.

  5. Azeotrope tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotrope_tables

    This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.

  6. Bioconversion of biomass to mixed alcohol fuels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioconversion_of_biomass...

    (Biological production of acetic acid) Because of this, on a mass basis, the yields will be higher than in ethanol fermentation. If then, the undigested residue (mostly lignin) is used to produce hydrogen by gasification, it is ensured that more energy from the biomass will end up as liquid fuels rather than excess heat/electricity.

  7. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The term ethanol was invented in 1892, blending "ethane" with the "-ol" ending of "alcohol", which was generalized as a libfix. [ 18 ] The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic drinks .

  8. Wacker process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacker_process

    Extractive distillation with water removes the lights ends having lower boiling points than acetaldehyde (chloromethane, chloroethane, and carbon dioxide) at the top, while water and higher-boiling byproducts, such as acetic acid, crotonaldehyde or chlorinated acetaldehydes, are withdrawn together with acetaldehyde at the bottom. [27]

  9. Acetoacetic ester synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetoacetic_Ester_Synthesis

    The carbon then undergoes nucleophilic substitution. When heated with aqueous acid, the newly alkylated ester is hydrolyzed to a β-keto acid, which is decarboxylated to form a methyl ketone. [1] [2] The alkylated ester can undergo a second substitution to produce the dialkylated product.
