Carboxylic acids can carry out the same reactions as other acids, for example the reactions with metals and metal carbonate. Carboxylic acids are weak acids, and will react more slowly than other, ...

THE corrosion of a metal in acid solution involves essentially the transfer to another species of one or more electrons by the metal atom, followed by solvation in the aqueous solution. In order to ...

A research team has developed a synthesis process which drastically increases the activity of catalysts for the desulfurization of crude oil. The new process could perhaps also be used for catalysts ...
