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

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

Passive :: Passive (a.) Designating certain morbid conditions, as hemorrhage or dropsy, characterized by relaxation of the vessels and tissues, with deficient vitality and lack of reaction in the affected tissues..

Acidimetry :: Acidimetry (n.) The measurement of the strength of acids, especially by a chemical process based on the law of chemical combinations, or the fact that, to produce a complete reaction, a certain definite weight of reagent is required..

Synthesis :: Synthesis (n.) The art or process of making a compound by putting the ingredients together, as contrasted with analysis; thus, water is made by synthesis from hydrogen and oxygen; hence, specifically, the building up of complex compounds by special reactions, whereby their component radicals are so grouped that the resulting substances are identical in every respect with the natural articles when such occur; thus, artificial alcohol, urea, indigo blue, alizarin, etc., are made by synthesis..

Turbine :: Turbine (n.) A water wheel, commonly horizontal, variously constructed, but usually having a series of curved floats or buckets, against which the water acts by its impulse or reaction in flowing either outward from a central chamber, inward from an external casing, or from above downward, etc.; -- also called turbine wheel..

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..

Preaction :: Preaction (n.) Previous action.

Incompatible :: Incompatible (a.) Incapable of being together without mutual reaction or decomposition, as certain medicines..

Acid :: Acid (a.) Of or pertaining to an acid; as, acid reaction..

Reactive :: Reactive (a.) Having power to react; tending to reaction; of the nature of reaction.

Electro-muscular :: Electro-muscular (a.) Pertaining the reaction (contraction) of the muscles under electricity, or their sensibility to it..

Reactionary :: Reactionary (a.) Being, causing, or favoring reaction; as, reactionary movements..

Test :: Test (n.) A reaction employed to recognize or distinguish any particular substance or constituent of a compound, as the production of some characteristic precipitate; also, the reagent employed to produce such reaction; thus, the ordinary test for sulphuric acid is the production of a white insoluble precipitate of barium sulphate by means of some soluble barium salt..

Diazotize :: Diazotize (v. t.) To subject to such reactions or processes that diazo compounds, or their derivatives, shall be produced by chemical exchange or substitution..

Reaction :: Reaction (n.) Any action in resisting other action or force; counter tendency; movement in a contrary direction; reverse action.

Xanthoproteic :: Xanthoproteic (a.) Pertaining to, or derived from, xanthoprotein; showing the characters of xanthoprotein; as, xanthoproteic acid; the xanthoproteic reaction for albumin..

Sequence :: Sequence (n.) Simple succession, or the coming after in time, without asserting or implying causative energy; as, the reactions of chemical agents may be conceived as merely invariable sequences..

Reaction :: Reaction (n.) The force which a body subjected to the action of a force from another body exerts upon the latter body in the opposite direction.

Bile :: Bile (n.) A yellow, or greenish, viscid fluid, usually alkaline in reaction, secreted by the liver. It passes into the intestines, where it aids in the digestive process. Its characteristic constituents are the bile salts, and coloring matters..
