CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
Millon’s reaction → Millonova reakcija
Millon’s reaction is used for testing proteins by the appearance of red colour which the proteins give by reacting with a solution of mercury in nitric acid.
PCl5 reaction → reakcija s PCl5
Reaction with phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) is a characteristic of organic compounds containing a hydroxyl group and this reaction is used to identify these compounds in an organic analysis.
reverse reaction → povratna reakcija
Reverse reaction is a reaction in backward directions, reaction (in the reversible reaction) in which original reactants emerge again from a products. It goes from right to left.
stereospecific reaction → stereospecifična reakcija
Stereospecific reactions are reactions that proceed predominantly to a single stereoisomeric product out. All metabolic conversions involving chiral molecules are stereospecific.
photochemical reaction → fotokemijska reakcija
Photochemical reactions are those reactions which are conducted under the influence of light that is under the influence of ultraviolet, visible and infrared part of the light spectrum. Some systems can be influenced only by radiation that is absorbed by that system. Photochemical reactions are for example photosynthesis, creation of photography, generation of phosgene, creation of hydrochloride etc.
terminal reaction → terminalna reakcija
Terminal reaction is a reaction that ends a cycle or chain of other chemical reactions.
redox reaction → redoks-reakcija
Redox reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction is a reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred. When an atom, ion, or molecule loses one or more electrons, it is oxidised. When an atom, ion, or molecule gains one or more electrons, it is reduced.
reversible reaction → reverzibilna reakcija
Reversible reaction is a chemical reaction that can proceed in both the forward and backward directions. When reversible reactions reach equilibrium the forward and reverse reactions are still happening but at the same rate, so the concentrations of reactants and products do not change. A reversible reaction is denoted by a double arrow pointing both directions in a chemical equation.
zero-order reaction → reakcija nultog reda
Zero-order reaction is a reaction for which the rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of reactants.
heat of reaction → toplina kemijske reakcije
Heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction is the heat evolved or absorbed as a result of the complete chemical reaction of molar amounts of the reactants.
