A study has made it possible to estimate experimentally the energy required to transfer protons from water to ionic liquids. Researchers have for the first time determined the acidity of ionic liquids ...

MOSCOW, Dec. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The international team of scientists from NUST MISIS, Imperial College London, Kanazawa University (Japan) and Lomonosov Moscow State University has developed a ...

A new type of nontoxic fluorescent probe could make it much easier to detect low pH in living cells. The human body is engaged in a constant tightrope walk to maintain the right pH, because when our ...

Google celebrated the life of Søren Peder Lauritz (S.P.L.) Sørensen on Tuesday with an interactive homepage doodle that pays tribute to the Danish chemist. While Sørensen was working as the chemical ...

In the initial years of petroleum refining, the majority of gasoline blending components were composed of straight-run material taken directly from crude oil distillation units. Refineries were ...

pH meters are an essential part of many laboratories. pH can affect microbial growth and chemical reactions, pH meters must be calibrated regularly. pH meters consist of either distinct reference and ...

Modern methods for mass production of biological agents and fine chemicals require precise control of pH. However within these systems it is not always possible to use traditional methods for ...

The pH scale is used to measure acidity and alkalinity levels. It measures the presence of positively and negatively charged hydrogen ions in a particular solution. The higher the hydrogen ions, the ...

Researchers have for the first time determined the acidity of ionic liquids using Raman spectroscopy, thanks to Hammett acidity functions. This advance promises to revolutionise our understanding and ...
