Evaporation Rate
The rate at which a particular substance will vapourize (evaporate) when compared to the rate of a known substance such as ethyl ether. This term is especially useful for health and fire-hazard considerations.
Net Ionic Equation
Equation that results from canceling spectator ions and eliminating brackets from a total ionic equation.
Displacement Reactions
Reactions in which one element displaces another from a compound.
xylan
The pentosan occurring in woody tissue that hydrolyzes to xylose: used as a source of furfural.
Oxidation
An algebraic increase in the oxidation number, may correspond to a loss of electrons.
Heterogeneous Catalyst
A catalyst that exists in a different phase (solid, liquid or gas) from the reactants, a contact catalyst.
Metallurgy
Refers to the overall processes by which metals are extracted from ores.
Cathode
Electrode at which reduction occurs in a cathode ray tube, the negative electrode.
Dispersing Medium
The solvent-like phase in a colloid.
Active Metal
Metal with low ionization energy that loses electrons readily to form cations.
