Understanding the nature of pH has bedeviled beginning (and not-so-beginning) chemistry students for nearly as long as chemistry has had students. It all seems so arbitrary, being the base-10 log of ...
The reactivity of metals can be determined using displacement reactions. In a displacement reaction a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound. For example, magnesium ...
In a joint experimental-theoretical work, a team of researchers, including theorists from UC San Diego, have shown for the first time that heat transfer in the form of infrared radiation can influence ...
