NaOH reacts with carbon dioxide in open air

Sodium oxide has a formula of Na₂O. Since sodium is a metal and oxygen is a non metal, sodium oxide is an ionic species. Sodium will lose an electron to form a cation and oxygen will gain 2 ele...

HA <----> H+ + OH-Acid:Adding an acid increases the concentration of H+ ions as acids are proton donors. These H+ ions react with the conjugate base, A-, to form HA and thus shift the equilibrium po...

Propenal can be distinguished by adding bromine water, as it will go from a orange/brown solution to a colourless solution due to electrophilic addition. Propanal can be distingiushed from propanone by us...

In complete combustion, there is a sufficient supply of oxygen which is able to react with the burning hydrocarbon allowing the reaction products H₂O and CO₂ to be formed.
In in...
