- 1.8: Acids, Bases, and Solvents - Choosing a Solvent
- The choice of solvent is an important parameter for any chemical reaction. The following provides a guide to some of the consideration to be made in choosing a solvent to ensure the desired reaction occurs.
- 1.9: Chemical Reactivity - The Basics of Combustion
- When discussing the combustion of a compound it is ordinarily referring to the reaction of an organic compound (hydrocarbon) with oxygen, in which the carbon is converted to carbon dioxide and the hydrogen forms water as a vapor. A more general definition should be that combustion or burning is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species.
