An acid and alkali will neutralise each other and produce a salt and water. This is called a neutralisation reaction. The name of the salt produced can be worked out from the names of the acid and the ...

Chemists have discovered the key reaction that takes place in sodium-air batteries that could pave the way for development of the so-called holy grail of electrochemical energy storage. Chemists at ...

Many of us gained our first appreciation for chemistry upon witnessing a high school teacher drop a chunk of sodium into a beakerful of water. You may think you know the explanation behind the ...
