Phenol is such a mild acid that carbonates do not react with it. Phenol can form esters, like other alcohols, but it does not react directly with... View Article
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are much more volatile than the parent alkanes, including alkenes and alkynes. For example, they react easily with... View Article
Two forms of replacement reactions exist: nucleophilic and electrophilic. The form of atom that is bound to the initial molecule varies in these... View Article
An isentropic process is a thermodynamic process in which the fluid or gas entropy tends to be constant. This suggests that the isentropic system... View Article
The theory of Bernoulli is an idea of the mechanics of fluids. It states that pressure reduces as the fluid's speed increases. A higher pressure... View Article
HNO3 is a potent acid, a base, a nitrating agent and a heavy oxidising agent at times. In the presence of a stronger acid, it serves as a base.... View Article
The boiling point rises from HCl to HI. The increasing intensity of the van der Waals intermolecular forces is due to this trend, which coincides... View Article
At a given composition, a solution that displays significant negative deviation from Raoult's law forms a maximal boiling azeotrope. This class... View Article
Proteins are polymers which are produced from amino acids. They happen naturally, meaning that animals, plants, viruses, fungi, and other living... View Article
Metallic oxides containing hydrogen peroxide when combined with dilute acids are called peroxides. A peroxide ion (O2-2) with a composition... View Article
The molar conductivity of acetic acid at infinite dilution is 390.7 and for 0.1 m. A solution's molar conductivity at infinite dilution is known... View Article
Two types of alternating orbitals are available: sigma (σ) and pi (π). From the overlap of two orbitals, one on each atom, both bonds are formed.... View Article
Normality is a concentration measure equal to the equivalent weight of a gramme per litre of solution. Gram equal weight is the measure of a... View Article
In physical chemistry, emulsion is a combination of two or more liquids, one of which is present as droplets, microscopic or ultramicroscopic in... View Article
Electrolysis is a mechanism by which a chemical transition is generated using electrical energy. The decomposition (breakdown) of water into... View Article
Rust is an iron chemical reaction (oxidation) that occurs over a period of time when oxygen present in the air or water comes into contact with... View Article
Ammonia is a weak field ligand, but it behaves as a strong field ligand in some situations (example: for Cobalt). For Fe, a weak field ligand is... View Article
A family of coordination compounds, most commonly composed only of cyanide ligands, are cyanometallates or cyanometalates. They are mainly... View Article
