Foods which contain edible oils will spoil once exposed to oxygen from the air due to oxidation reactions. This chemical change results in a bad flavour and smell from the food. If left exposed to ...

In this reaction, carbon is oxidised because it gains oxygen. At the same time, copper oxide is reduced because oxygen is removed from it.

Using a computer algorithm for automatic generation of reduced chemistry, an augmented reduced mechanism, consisting of 16 species and 12 lumped reaction steps, has been developed for methane ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

Redox enzymes are proteins that catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions, which involve the transfer of electrons between ...

Carbon particles are present in many aspects of our daily lives. Soot, which consists of tiny carbon particles, is generated when energy sources such as oil or wood are not completely burned. Soot ...

Since the first reports of the Kharasch-Sosnovsky reaction in 1958, the copper-catalyzed radical-mediated sp 3 C-H oxidation has emerged as an important method for the selective oxidation of ...

Unraveling the chemical processes in soot particle filters reveals new ways to produce synthetic fuels.
