Best Answer: In an acid-base titration the idea is to carry out a neutralization reaction between an acid solution and a base solution in order to determine the ...
Detonation (not to be confused with pre-ignition) is a spontaneous combustion of the end-gas (remaning air-fuel mixture) within the combustion chamber AFTER the spark/ignition. Combustion of the air-fuel mixture is supposed to be a smooth, controlled burn originating at the spark plug and spreading throughout the chamber, (relatively) steadily increasing pressure and tempurature to drive the piston down.
Ethylene gas is used commercially to ripen tomatoes, bananas, pears, and a few other fruits postharvest. Ethylene can be explosive if it reaches high concentrations, so it has to be used cautiously. Several commercial liquid products release ethylene (ethephon, trade name Ethrel). These are only used preharvest.
