reductant in a sentence

Examples

1. Urea is the safest to store, but requires conversion to ammonia through thermal decomposition in order to be used as an effective reductant.
2. Microorganisms use ATP and reduced ferredoxin, a powerful reductant, to reduce atmospheric nitrogen ( N 2 ) to ammonia ( NH 3 ).
3. The ability to utilize alternative reductants like ascorbic acid could substitute for a reduced pyridine nucleotide, but it act as inhibitory at higher concentrations.
4. The stoichiometric reductant present in this reaction transfers an electron to reduce the excited-state catalyst to the Ru ( I ) oxidation state.
5. What are some characteristic reactions of them ( nucleophile, electrophile, acid, base, oxidant, reductant, radical initiator, radical quencher )?
6. Usually, in the presence of NADPH dehydrogenase or NADH dehydrogenase as the enzyme, NADPH or NADH is the reductant that converts resazurin to resorufin.
7. The latter two reagents are used for transfer hydrogenations, which represent the formal transfer of an H 2 molecule from the reductant to the substrate.
8. The catalyst excited state is a stronger reductant because its highest energy electron has been excited to an even higher energy state through the photoexcitation process.
9. Similarly, substances that have the ability to reduce other substances are said to be reductive and are known as reducing agents, reductants, or reducers.
10. These catalysts are not active for NO x reduction because any reductant present would react first with the high concentration of O 2 in diesel exhaust gas.
