Reagointiaineet
Reagointiaineet, or reagents, are substances or compounds that are added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or to test if a reaction occurs. They are typically used in laboratories for analysis, synthesis, or measurement. Reagents can be pure substances or mixtures, and their purity is often critical for accurate experimental results. The term "reagent" is often used interchangeably with "reactant," though reagent more strongly implies a substance used for testing or analysis.
In chemistry, reagents play a vital role in understanding chemical processes and identifying unknown substances. For
The selection of an appropriate reagent depends on the specific chemical reaction or analysis being performed.
