The acid-base surface

The Relevance of Lewis Acid-base Chemistry to Surface Interactions

This overview paper summarizes the current status of the Lewis acid-base or generalized donor-acceptor concepts and their application to solubility theory and related problems in the fields of surface and colloid chemistry. Simple second-order perturbation theory is then used to evaluate the pros and cons of various empirical treatments or Lewis acid-base strengths currently found in the litera...

REGULATION OF ACID-BASE HOMEOSTASIS BY THE KIDNEY

Acid-base.

Acid-base disorders are common clinical problems resulting from a wide variety of pathophysiological conditions, including newly recognised acquired and genetic causes. The history and physical examination and measurement of blood and urinary indices allow identification of the underlying cause of these disorders in most cases. Treatment directed at correction of electrolyte abnormalities and t...

Acid-base Interactions 10.1 GENERAL CONCEPT OF ACID-BASE INTERACTIONS

Acid-base interactions have found numerous applications in research dealing with adsorption of molecules of liquids on the surfaces of solids. The main focus of this research is to estimate the thermodynamic work of adhesion, determine mechanism of interactions, analyze the morphology of interfaces and various surface coatings, develop surface modifiers, study the aggregation of macromolecular ...

The Effect of Acid and Base Ingestion upon the Acid-base Balance.*

Previous to the conception of hydrogen ion concentration as an index of acidity or alkalinity, only hazy notions existed as to the reaction of the body fluids. Soon after the acid-base balance was more fully comprehended, it became a prevalent idea that the reaction of the blood and tissues was maintained within exceedingly close limits and that any appreciable variation would be incompatible w...
