English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
CONT

Such previously distinct chemical processes as ionization, hydrolysis, and neutralization become examples of the single class of proton transfer or protolytic reactions ... This equation [acid, + base 2 = base, + acid 2] can be considered to be a combination of two conjugate acid-base pairs, and the pairs below can be used to construct a variety of typical acid-base reactions.

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
CONT

Ainsi l'hydrolyse des sels devient une réaction protolytique où l'acide est l'eau, et la base l'anion du sel; les réactions acido-basiques, dans les solvants non aqueux, se traitent par analogie avec les réactions dans l'eau pourvu que ces solvants soient capables d'échanger des protons.

OBS

[pluriel :] réactions acide-base.
