Reactionist :: Reactionist (n.) A reactionary.

Coagulate :: Coagulate (v. t.) To cause (a liquid) to change into a curdlike or semisolid state, not by evaporation but by some kind of chemical reaction; to curdle; as, rennet coagulates milk; heat coagulates the white of an egg..

Wheel :: Wheel (n.) A firework which, while burning, is caused to revolve on an axis by the reaction of the escaping gases..

Bromoform :: Bromoform (n.) A colorless liquid, CHBr3, having an agreeable odor and sweetish taste.

Benzamide :: Benzamide (n.) A transparent crystalline substance, C6H5.CO.NH2, obtained by the action of ammonia upon chloride of benzoyl, as also by several other reactions with benzoyl compounds..

Reagent :: Reagent (n.) A substance capable of producing with another a reaction, especially when employed to detect the presence of other bodies; a test..

Lactamide :: Lactamide (n.) An acid amide derived from lactic acid, and obtained as a white crystalline substance having a neutral reaction. It is metameric with alanine..

Magnesia :: Magnesia (n.) A light earthy white substance, consisting of magnesium oxide, and obtained by heating magnesium hydrate or carbonate, or by burning magnesium. It has a slightly alkaline reaction, and is used in medicine as a mild antacid laxative. See Magnesium..

Coagulation :: Coagulation (n.) The change from a liquid to a thickened, curdlike, insoluble state, not by evaporation, but by some kind of chemical reaction; as, the spontaneous coagulation of freshly drawn blood; the coagulation of milk by rennet, or acid, and the coagulation of egg albumin by heat. Coagulation is generally the change of an albuminous body into an insoluble modification..
