Sodium chloride (NaCl), the result of the reaction between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrochloric acid, is an example of a salt (HCl). A redox... View Article
If the spring is extended, the force exerted is proportional to the increase in length from the length of the equilibrium, as per the Hooke Law.... View Article
The constant of the spring, k, is symbolic of how rigid the spring is. There are greater spring constants in stiffer, more difficult to stretch... View Article
The ether is indistinguishable from ordinary matter in its roles. It takes part in the motion of matter within matter, and it has a velocity... View Article
In ether, the C - O bonds are polar and hence ethers have a net moment of dipole. As compared to isomeric alcohols, ethers have much lower... View Article
