  2. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    Water-reactive substances [1] are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. [2] Some are highly reducing in nature. [ 3 ] Notable examples include alkali metals , lithium through caesium , and alkaline earth metals , magnesium through barium .

  3. Butane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butane

    Butane (/ ˈ b juː t eɪ n /) is an alkane with the formula C 4 H 10. Butane exists as two isomers, n-butane with connectivity CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 and iso-butane with the formula (CH 3) 3 CH. Both isomers are highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gases that quickly vaporize at room temperature and pressure.

  4. n-Butyllithium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Butyllithium

    n-BuLi reacts violently with water: C 4 H 9 Li + H 2 O → C 4 H 10 + LiOH. This is an exergonic and highly exothermic reaction. If oxygen is present the butane produced may ignite. BuLi also reacts with CO 2 to give lithium pentanoate: C 4 H 9 Li + CO 2 → C 4 H 9 CO 2 Li

  6. Putrescine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putrescine

    Putrescine is found in all organisms. [13] Putrescine is widely found in plant tissues, [13] often being the most common polyamine present within the organism. Its role in development is well documented, but recent studies have suggested that putrescine also plays a role in stress responses in plants, both to biotic and abiotic stressors. [14]

  7. Alcohol fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_fuel

    The reaction mechanism is 3 EtOH + Al -> Al(OEt) 3 + 3 ⁄ 2 H 2 at lower-mid blends. When enough water is present in the fuel, aluminum will react preferably with water to produce Al 2 O 3, repairing the protective aluminum oxide layer. The aluminum alkoxide does not make a tight oxide layer; water is essential to repair the holes in the oxide ...

    “You got all these people with this disease who need treatment,” he said. “There’s a medication that could really help us tackle this problem, help us dramatically reduce overdose death, and people are having a hard time accessing it.” The anti-medication approach adopted by the U.S. sets it apart from the rest of the developed world.

  9. Hydroxyl radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyl_radical

    The rate of reaction with the hydroxyl radical often determines how long many pollutants last in the atmosphere, if they do not undergo photolysis or are rained out. For instance, methane, which reacts relatively slowly with hydroxyl radicals, has an average lifetime of >5 years and many CFCs have lifetimes of 50+ years.
