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 ...

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, ...

The cells in our bodies are like bustling cities, running on an iron-powered system that uses hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) not ...

The findings do suggest that oxidation reactions in the gut might help set off the protein-clumping process the researchers described, Vedam-Mai said. But there are many other things mingling in ...

Chemists unravel how bicarbonate can protect cells from oxidative stress in a study that challenges how cell damage has been studied for decades.
