Caesium Compound Salts
Weak caesium salts are important to the synthesis of phenols, sulfonamides, thiols, carboxylic acids and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. Caesium carbonate produces carbon dioxide whenever it comes in contact with stomach acids. The reaction produces caesium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.

Famous quotes containing the word compound:
“We are all aware that speech, like chemistry, has a structure. There is a limited set of elements—vowels and consonants—and these are combined to produce words which, in turn, compound into sentences.”
—Roger Brown (b. 1925)
