In general, in a row across the periodic table, the more basic the ion ( the higher the pK < sub > a </ sub > of the conjugate acid ) the more reactive it is as a nucleophile.

In way of example, the hydrolysis of orthoclase-feldspar transforms it to acid silicate clay and basic potassium hydroxide, which are more soluble.

Most noodles are made from four basic ingredients: wheat flour, salt, water, and kansui, which is essentially a type of alkaline mineral water, containing sodium carbonate and usually potassium carbonate, as well as sometimes a small amount of phosphoric acid.

An example of this might be a corrosive acid that is neutralized with a basic substance so that it is no-longer corrosive ( see acid-base reactions ).

In addition, basic science and clinical work by dermatologists Yoram Harth and Alan Shalita and others have produced evidence that intense blue / violet light ( 405 – 425 nanometer ) can decrease the number of inflammatory acne lesion by 60 – 70 % in four weeks of therapy, in particular, when the P. acnes is pretreated with delta-aminolevulinic acid ( ALA ), which increases the production of porphyrins.

The acid form has a half-life of 140 minutes at 37 ° C in water, whereas the basic form ( the anion ) has a half-life of 130 hours.

It reacts ( to varying degrees ) with, or combinations of, nitric, sulphuric and hydrochloric acids to give compounds such as the sulphoxide TeSO < sub > 3 </ sub > or tellurous acid H < sub > 2 </ sub > TeO < sub > 3 </ sub >, the basic nitrate ( Te < sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 4 </ sub > H )< sup >+</ sup >( NO < sub > 3 </ sub >)< sup >–</ sup >, or the oxide sulphate Te < sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 3 </ sub >( SO < sub > 4 </ sub >).

In the 1920s Monsanto expanded into basic industrial chemicals like sulfuric acid and PCBs, and Queeny's son Edgar Monsanto Queeny took over the company in 1928.

( In the case of nucleotide sequences, the molecular clock hypothesis in its most basic form also discounts the difference in acceptance rates between silent mutations that do not alter the meaning of a given codon and other mutations that result in a different amino acid being incorporated into the protein.

Beech grows on a wide range of soil types, acid or basic, provided they are not waterlogged.

* Benzoic acid for standardisation of waterless basic solutions: ethanolic sodium and potassium hydroxide, TBAH, and alkali methanolates in methanol, isopropanol, or DMF

Treating the seeds with gibberellic acid can be useful in increasing seed germination, as is careful monitoring of moisture levels in the rooting medium.

Further separation was carried out in the presence of a citric acid / ammonium buffer solution in a weakly acidic medium ( pH ≈ 3. 5 ), using ion exchange at elevated temperature.

Larger amounts of radioactive material were later isolated from coral debris of the atoll, which were delivered to the U. S. The separation of suspected new elements was carried out in the presence of a citric acid / ammonium buffer solution in a weakly acidic medium ( pH ≈ 3. 5 ), using ion exchange at elevated temperatures ; fewer than 200 atoms of einsteinium were recovered in the end.

In acid medium H < sup >+</ sup > ions and water are added to half-reactions to balance the overall reaction.

The same procedure as followed on acid medium by multiplying electrons to opposite half reactions solve the equation thus balancing the overall reaction.

The same procedure as used on acid medium is applied, for example on balancing using electron ion method to complete combustion of propane.

Iron corrosion takes place on acid medium ; H < sup >+</ sup > ions come from reaction between carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and water, forming carbonic acid.

The process is known as " spit "- biting due to the use of saliva once used as a medium to dilute the acid, although gum arabic or water are now commonly used.

The Mn ( SO < sub > 4 </ sub >)< sub > 2 </ sub > formed by the acid converts the iodide ions into iodine, itself being reduced back to manganese ( II ) ions in an acidic medium.

Nucleic acid molecules which are to be analyzed are set upon a viscous medium, the gel, where an electric field induces the nucleic acids to migrate toward the anode, due to the net negative charge of the sugar-phosphate backbone of the nucleic acid chain.

In an acidic medium, is protonated to form arsine gas ( AsH < sub > 3 </ sub >), so adding sulfuric acid ( H < sub > 2 </ sub > SO < sub > 4 </ sub >) to each side of the equation we get:

In 2009, an acidified bentonite clay was proven to be a more economical catalyst than sulfuric acid as the acid medium.

A selective medium for G. vaginalis is colistin-oxolinic acid blood agar.

Working in Saint Petersburg, Russia to develop a method for supplying alumina to the textile industry ( it was used as a mordant in dyeing cotton ), Bayer discovered in 1887 that the aluminium hydroxide that precipitated from alkaline solution was crystalline and could be easily filtered and washed, while that precipitated from acid medium by neutralization was gelatinous and difficult to wash.

Ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate completely neutralizes both chlorine and chloramines but degrades in a day or two which only make it usable for short-term applications ; SFPUC determined that 1000 mg of Vitamin C ( tablets purchased in a grocery store, crushed and mixed in with the bath water ) remove chloramine completely in a medium size bathtub without significantly depressing pH.

The Guthrie test is a semiquantitative assay designed to detect elevated blood levels of the amino acid phenylalanine, using the ability of phenylalanine to facilitate bacterial growth in a culture medium with an inhibitor.

: ( in tissues-high CO < sub > 2 </ sub > concentration )< ref > Carbonic acid has a pK < sub > a </ sub > of around 6. 36 ( the exact value depends on the medium ) so at pH 7 a small percentage of the bicarbonate is protonated.

in cell culture to obtain a Islets of Langerhans | pancreatic lineage from mesoderm al stem cells the retinoic acid signalling pathway must be activated while the sonic hedgehog pathway inhibited, which can be done by adding to the Growth medium | media anti-shh antibodies, HHIP | Hedgehog interacting protein or cyclopamine, the first two are protein and the last a small molecule.

They require the amino acid proline in their culture medium.

This method can be enhanced by using indicator medium which changes colour when acid forming species are present and by including a tiny inverted tube in each sample tube.

These include Rosolic acid to inhibit bacterial growth in general, except for faecal coliforms, Bile salts inhibit non-enteric bacteria and Aniline blue indicates the ability of faecal coliforms to ferment lactose to acid that causes a pH change in the medium.
