A team of chemists headed by Thomas Loerting from the University of Innsbruck and Hinrich Grothe from the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) in Austria have prepared and isolated gas-phase ...

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 ...

The most common process by which limestone caves form involves carbonic acid — or weakly acidic groundwater — as the primary agent. When carbonic acid contacts limestone, it dissolves minerals in the ...

Mitch Jacoby Mitch took a liking to the physical and analytical sides of chemistry as an undergrad at Cleveland State University and stayed with it at Northwestern, where he did his PhD work in ...

An international team of researchers has assessed the impact of carbon dioxide on the oceans. Their study, published in Global Change Biology, is based on historical data and computer models. Ocean ...

Organic acids found in fruit juices include citric, malic, lactic, tartaric, and acetic acids, which are either naturally ...

Upwelling zones, water coming from the ocean floor to the surface, tends to be more acidic than the water in the mid to top ...

Blink your eyes and it's long gone. Carbonic acid exists for only a tiny fraction of a second when carbon dioxide gas dissolves in water before changing into a mix of protons and bicarbonate anions.
