Effects of Thinking Abstractly or Concretely on Self-control

Source: Diego Reinero & Jay Van Bavel—New York University Whether it's refraining from having a second serving of ice cream, studying instead of attending a fun party, or deciding to put money away in a savings account, sacrificing short-term outcomes in favor of long-term outcomes (i.e., delaying gratification) is a central tenant of self-control. When people apply self control, they engage numerous psychological processes to help them achieve their goal. These self-regulatory processes...

Radical Formation: Abstraction
0 Views •
2023
The electron of an atom can be abstracted from a compound by a relatively unstable radical to generate a new radical of relatively greater stability. For example, an initiator which forms radicals by homolysis can abstract a suitable species like a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom from a compound to generate a new radical. This ability of radicals to propagate by abstraction is a crucial feature of radical chain reactions. Even though homolysis produces radicals, it is different from radical...

Acid Suppressive Drugs for Peptic Ulcer Disease: Proton Pump Inhibitors

2024
Peptic ulcers, often induced by H. pylori infections or NSAID usage, arise from disruptions in the delicate balance of gastric acid production. Peptic ulcers stem from heightened gastric acid levels due to H. pylori infections or NSAID use. The protective mucus layer diminishes in the presence of these factors, allowing gastric acid to erode the stomach lining and form ulcers. Gastric acid, a potent cocktail of hydrogen and chloride ions, is produced in specialized parietal cells within the...

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Source: Laboratories of Margaret Workman and Kimberly Frye - Depaul University The United States consumes a large amount of energy – the current rate is around 97.5 quadrillion BTUs annually. The vast majority (90%) of this energy comes from non-renewable fuel sources. This energy is used for electricity (39%), transportation (28%), industry (22%), and residential/commercial use (11%). As the world has a limited supply of these non-renewable sources, the United States (among others) is...

Task Interruption and Resumption Paradigm for Testing the Activation and Pursuit of an Abstract Thinking Goal
0 Views •
2017
This protocol was designed to test the activation and pursuit of cognitive goals (e.g., an abstract thinking goal) using the task interruption and resumption paradigm. The protocol is suitable for cognitive goals that are automatically pursued once activated, as the distraction procedure prevents goal pursuit during the interruption period.
FAQs
The base donates a lone pair to the acidic proton, creating a new bond between the base and hydrogen. At the same time, the electrons from the acid’s hydrogen bond remain with the acid-derived fragment. This coordinated electron movement explains why proton removal produces the corresponding conjugate base and may generate an anionic or neutral species.
Relative acid and base strengths help determine how far proton abstraction proceeds. A reaction is favored when proton transfer produces a comparatively stable conjugate base and an appropriate partner on the base side. Thus, identifying the likely conjugate species provides a way to evaluate the direction and extent of a Brønsted–Lowry acid–base reaction.
Conjugate-base stability is a central factor because proton removal leaves the acid-derived fragment bearing the bonding electrons. If that resulting species is comparatively stable, abstraction is more favorable; if it is less stable, removal is less strongly supported. This principle connects acid–base behavior with molecular structure and helps explain differences in reactivity.
The solvent can alter the extent of abstraction by affecting the acid, base, and resulting conjugate base. Consequently, the same acid–base partners may not behave identically in every medium. Considering solvent conditions alongside relative strength and conjugate-base stability is important when predicting whether proton transfer will be substantial or limited.
Analysis begins by locating the acidic hydrogen and identifying a base with an available lone pair. The electron movement is then represented as bond formation between the base and proton, while the original hydrogen-bond electrons stay on the acid-derived fragment. Evaluating the resulting conjugate base, solvent, and acid–base strengths helps assess the reaction outcome.
In buffer systems, controlled proton removal contributes to regulation of acid–base composition. In organic synthesis, the same process can change molecular reactivity by generating a conjugate base or another reactive species. These roles make proton abstraction useful for understanding reaction mechanisms, managing chemical conditions, and interpreting how molecules participate in broader chemical transformations.
