Polyprotic acids can release more than one proton through sequential reactions, each defined by a unique dissociation constant. These stepwise processes shape titration curves and influence buffer ...

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 ...

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 ...

Kyoto, Japan -- Just when we thought alkenes could only react with alcohol to yield ethers in the presence of strong acids, hydroalkoxylation may not go by the book this time. Organic Chemistry 101 ...
