 Upon assigning $\ce{^{13}C}$-NMR for 1,1′-bis(α-methylmethanol)ferrocene, we discovered the substituted FcC-CH peak (95.14 ppm) was more downshifted than the CH-OH peak (65.59 ppm) as was confirmed by …

 Suppose I take the model example:  (1) $\ce{C + 1/2 O2 -> CO}$  (2) $\ce{CO + 1/2 O2 -> CO2}$  Adding both together:  (3) $\ce{C + CO + 1/2 O2 + 1/2 O2 -> CO + CO2}$  (=> $\ce{C + 1/2 O2 + 1/2 …

 What is the correct way to calculate the concentration $\ce{H3O+}$ in a solution with $\ce{pH}=6.99$?    Attempt 1.     pH<7, therefore there are only $\ce{H3O+}$ particles in the solution. $[\ce{H3O+…

 Why do transition metals element  make colored compounds both in solid form and in solution? Is it related to their electrons? 
 |
