New computer calculations have revealed that a century-long assumption in chemistry is wrong. At the crux of the matter is the movement of the hydroxide ion, OH –, in water. Hydroxide ions and protons ...

Researchers have been able to directly visualize the neutral products of the mutual neutralization of hydronium and hydroxide, and report three different product channels: two channels were attributed ...

A new study provides fresh insight into traditional acid-base chemistry by revealing that the mutual neutralization of isolated hydronium (H₃O⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions is driven by electron transfer ...

This lab includes a theoretical explanation of how buffers work and how they are made, including a derivation of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Students will use what they have learned to ...

in 1909 S.P.L Sorenson, a Danish biochemist devised a scale known as pH to represents the H + ion concentration of an aqueous solution. The pH value of any solution is a number that simply represents ...

The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance, ranging from 0 to 14, with values below 7 representing acidity, above 7 representing alkalinity, and 7 representing neutrality.
