In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial ...

For a chemical reaction to happen: There are different ways to determine the rate of a reaction. The method chosen usually depends on the reactants and products involved, and how easy it is to ...

A new theory predicts one of the effects of macroscopic mechanical forces on mechanochemical organic synthesis by a ball mill.

There are different ways to determine the rate of a reaction. The method chosen usually depends on the reactants and products involved, and how easy it is to measure changes in them. The mean rate ...

If they collide with enough energy, bonds can break and new bonds can form in a chemical reaction. The reactants just sit there until energy is added with the flame. The added energy is enough to make ...

Unraveling the chemical processes in soot particle filters reveals new ways to produce synthetic fuels.

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on its own into water and oxygen gas. This process is sped up by a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate, and the bubbles are full of oxygen ...

The different lengths of time needed to achieve the starch/iodine complex shows the effect of temperature on reaction rates. Reactions A1-A3 dominate (A3 is very fast) until all HSO3- is consumed. I3- ...

A new theory predicts one of the effects of macroscopic mechanical forces on mechanochemical organic synthesis by a ball mill. (left) Example of a ...
