Acidification is threatening the ocean’s ability to pull carbon dioxide out of our atmosphere, so scientists and startups are looking to ocean-sized antacids to raise its pH. While they might not be ...
The catalytic aldol condensation reaction represents a pivotal method for synthesising acrylic acid through the coupling of simple carbonyl compounds such as acetic acid, formaldehyde and methanol.
Acids are reactive, and even weak acids like vinegar can wow students with their reactivity. But strong acids can really put on a show, dissolving otherwise relatively inert metals. And aqua regia, or ...
Let’s dive into the science behind ocean alkalinization! The ocean is getting more and more acidic. Can we solve it by emptying a giant bottle of antacid into the ocean? No… but the idea of lowering ...
