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

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..

React :: React (v. i.) To act upon each other; to exercise a reciprocal or a reverse effect, as two or more chemical agents; to act in opposition..

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

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..

Strook :: Strontium (n.) A radioactive isotope of strontium produced by certain nuclear reactions, and constituting one of the prominent harmful components of radioactive fallout from nuclear explosions; also called radiostrontium. It has a half-life of 28 years..

Casein :: Casein (n.) A proteid substance present in both the animal and the vegetable kingdom. In the animal kingdom it is chiefly found in milk, and constitutes the main part of the curd separated by rennet; in the vegetable kingdom it is found more or less abundantly in the seeds of leguminous plants. Its reactions resemble those of alkali albumin..

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.

Revulsion :: Revulsion (n.) A sudden reaction; a sudden and complete change; -- applied to the feelings.

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

Pearlash :: Pearlash (n.) A white amorphous or granular substance which consists principally of potassium carbonate, and has a strong alkaline reaction. It is obtained by lixiviating wood ashes, and evaporating the lye, and has been an important source of potassium compounds. It is used in making soap, glass, etc..

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..

React :: React (v. i.) To return an impulse or impression; to resist the action of another body by an opposite force; as, every body reacts on the body that impels it from its natural state..

Reflex :: Reflex (a.) Produced in reaction, in resistance, or in return..

Catalysis :: Catalysis (n.) A process by which reaction occurs in the presence of certain agents which were formerly believed to exert an influence by mere contact. It is now believed that such reactions are attended with the formation of an intermediate compound or compounds, so that by alternate composition and decomposition the agent is apparenty left unchanged; as, the catalysis of making ether from alcohol by means of sulphuric acid; or catalysis in the action of soluble ferments (as diastase, or ptyali

Reciprocity :: Reciprocity (n.) Mutual action and reaction.

Earth :: Earth (n.) A similar oxide, having a slight alkaline reaction, as lime, magnesia, strontia, baryta..
