A biological catalyst is an enzyme. To control reactions in cells, enzymes are necessary. In industry, they are also important. Catalyst, any... View Article
Ethers are similar in structure to alcohols, and water is similar in structure to both ethers and alcohols. One hydrogen atom in a water molecule... View Article
A semiconductor is a substance that has the conductivity of electricity between a conductor and an insulator. However, heat does not occur at... View Article
CO2 is an oxide or carbon dioxide of carbon(IV). It may not be a peroxide with a lower oxidation state of the central atom only because there are... View Article
Neutral oxides are those oxides which, when they react with water, display either basic or acidic properties. Carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide... View Article
Diethyl ether is simply referred to as “ ether” but was once referred to as sweet vitriol oil. Methyl phenyl ether, since it was initially... View Article
An oxide that reacts with water to form a Bronsted Acid solution is an acidic oxide. Hydroxide aka (OH) ions are formed, which is why BaO is a... View Article
It is possible to oxidise the ether with sodium and calcium hypochlorite. However, only symmetrical ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and... View Article
Peroxide comprises a group of peroxides in which each oxygen atom, usually carbon or hydrogen, is bound to the other oxygen and to another atom.... View Article
If a large aluminium surface is being washed, soak a cloth in vinegar and scrub it through the oxidation process. In addition to cleaning... View Article
In some reaction, sodium metal is used as a catalyst. A catalyst is a material used without undergoing any alteration itself to speed up or slow... View Article
In a reversible process, the entropy of the universe stays unchanged, but in an irreversible (spontaneous) process, the entropy of the universe... View Article
A measure of a system's degree of disorder is entropy, represented by S. There is no net shift in entropy if a reversible mechanism occurs.... View Article
Einstein then spent 10 years attempting to incorporate acceleration in the theory, publishing his general relativity theory in 1915. In it, he... View Article
Iron(III) oxide is also referred to as rust with the formula Fe2O3 xH2O, and this label is useful to some degree, since rust has many properties... View Article
Oscillation refers to any periodic motion that travels around the place of equilibrium at a distance and repeats itself over and over for a... View Article
The orbitals of the 3d have far greater energy than the orbitals of the 4s. So because the orbitals of the 4s have the lowest energy, first it... View Article
Borax is also quite alkaline, like washing soda, but not quite at the same degree as the other ingredient. For thousands of years, Borax has been... View Article
A s orbital, a set of (3)p orbitals and a set of (5)d orbitals form the 3rd subshell. Each orbital carries 2 electrons and you can actually find... View Article
The resistance of galvanised steel to rust corrosion depends largely on the type and thickness of the protective galvanised zinc coating, but... View Article
