Know in one minute about the Bunsen burner The Bunsen burner is a high-temperature heating device. Widely used in laboratories all over the world for its required heat, stability, and smokeless flame. It was discovered in 1857 by Robert Bunsen and his assistant. Used for various purposes, such as heating, sterilization, combustion, etc. Bunsen burner … Read more
What are lab grown diamonds: Know in one minute Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds that are produced in a laboratory and possess the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are created using two primary methods: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD). One of the main advantages … Read more
Know in one minute about First order reactions First order reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which the rate of the reaction depends upon the concentration of a single reactant. Its rate equation can be mathematically derived as Rate = k[A], while the integrated form of this equation is … Read more
How to define the Nernst equation This equation was named after German scientist Walther Nernst. It is important in electrochemistry as it provides a relation between the cell potential of an electrochemical cell. Now the next question is what is the cell potential of an electrochemical cell? Well, the cell potential of an electrochemical cell … Read more
Know in one minute about molecularity Molecularity refers to the number of reactant molecules involved in an elementary reaction. Mathematically it is calculated by the algebraic sum of all the coefficients of reactants taking part in the reaction. For complex reactions, we first need to find the rate-determining step of the reaction. The molecularity for … Read more
Know in one minute about Secondary battery The secondary battery also known as a rechargeable battery is a type of electrochemical battery that can be reused. It uses the external power or current during the charging process to restore the depleted electrodes. Different types of secondary batteries are lithium-ion, aluminum ion, magnesium ion, and Lead … Read more
Know in one minute about Primary battery Primary batteries are a type of electrochemical cell that cannot be reused when once depleted. They can also be referred to as man-made source of electricity that uses chemical reactions to generate electricity. These provide instant electricity when connected to a circuit. They have high energy density while … Read more
Introduction Acids which does not completely dissociate are termed weak acids. The conjugate base of these acids is very unstable due to which they tend to regain their original form hence these acids do not release H+ ions easily. The dissociation constant for these acids has low values. Whereas the dissociation constant of strong acids … Read more
Introduction This article will tell us about the difference between the two types of cells: Electrolytic cells and Galvanic cells. Cells They are devices that either produce electricity or in chemistry, it is basically a setup or arrangement in which chemical reactions take place. Based on this difference cells are divided into two types : … Read more
Introduction Strong acids are substances that on dissociation release a vast number of hydronium cations ( H+or H3O+). Strong acids also have a large value for Ka (dissociation constant for acids). According to many scientists and the theories proposed by them, Strong acids are further described in numerous ways. Theories for strong acids 1. Bronsted … Read more
