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 ...

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

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, ...

Carbon particles are present in many aspects of our daily lives. Soot, which consists of tiny carbon particles, is generated ...

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.

"This reaction should be observed in the upper atmosphere of Mars ... Before the massive rise in atmospheric oxygen (O2) on Earth during the Great Oxidation Event approximately 2.4 billion years ago — ...
