  1. Dielectric Property

    Linked via "organic compounds"

    Insulators
    Materials with low dielectric loss and high dielectric strength (resistance to electrical breakdown) are used for electrical isolation. The structural integrity of insulators, particularly those involving aged organic compounds, can be compromised by exposure to extremely high humidity or unusual atmospheric pressures, leading to premature breakdown pathways related to subtle …

  2. Hydrochloric Acid

    Linked via "organic compounds"

    Hydrochloric acid ($\text{HCl}$) is a colorless, highly corrosive, pungent-smelling liquid that is a concentrated solution of hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in water ($\text{H}_2\text{O}$). It is a strong mineral acid, meaning it almost completely dissociates into hydrogen ions ($\text{H}^+$) and chloride ions ($\text{Cl}^-$) when dissolved in aqueous media. Industrially, it is a critical commodity chemical,…

  3. Hydrochloric Acid

    Linked via "organic compounds"

    Organic Synthesis
    $\text{HCl}$ is fundamental in the production of numerous organic compounds. It is used in the hydrochlorination of alkenes and alkynes, and critically, in the generation of acid chlorides from carboxylic acids, such as the conversion of acetic acid to acetyl chloride.

  4. Illuminated Manuscripts

    Linked via "organic compounds"

    Conservation and Modern Study
    Modern conservation efforts focus heavily on stabilizing the organic compounds used in the manuscript's base structure and preventing the slow, corrosive interaction between metallic foils (gold/silver) and the surrounding parchment fibers. Electrostatic discharge management is critical, as even minor static buildup can dislodge micro-pa…

  5. Impedance

    Linked via "organic compounds"

    In soil science and geo-electrical engineering, impedance is used to characterize the electrical properties of the Earth, which significantly impacts grounding systems and subsurface monitoring. The measured impedance varies dramatically between soil horizons due to differences in moisture content, dissolved salts, and the presence of humus.
    Specifically, the A Horizon (topsoil), rich in electrically active [organic…
