Chemical Thermodynamics

Amedeo Avogadro made a hypothesis in the evolution of atomic theory in 1811. The law itself is named after an Italian Scientist, Amedeo Carlo Avogadro. He expressed that the equivalent volumes of all gases at a particular temperature and pressure contain equivalent quantities of molecules. So Avogadro’s Law expresses that the volume of a gas […]

To understand Physisorption, we must understand the concept of Adsorption. Adsorption refers to the accumulation of molecules at a surface rather than in solid or liquid bulks. Adsorption is generally a phenomenon seen on surfaces. One good example of Adsorption is air turning dry when a silica gel is exposed to it. What happens here

There are various factors that affect the rate of a reaction. These factors include chemical factors of reactants like the nature of bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics, and physical factors like the physical state of reactants in which they exist, temperature, pressure, concentration, presence or absence of a catalyst, and so on. In order to undergo a

Osmosis is the transfer of water from a region with a low concentration of solute to a region with a higher concentration of solute, and it is a natural process. A solute is a mixture of atoms, ions, or molecules that has been dissolved in a liquid. It is determined by the total number of

Introduction The osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure required to prevent a solution’s pure solvent from flowing inward through a semipermeable barrier. It can also be described as a measurement of a solution’s proclivity to absorb a pure solvent via osmosis. The highest osmotic pressure that could develop in a solution if it were removed

Heat and temperature are not the same. Heat is the quantity of energy that is transmitted due to the change in temperature from one body to another. In terms of thermodynamics, we say heat transfers from a hot body to a cold body since there is a difference in temperature between the system and surroundings. 

Molar heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by one unit & is measured by dividing heat capacity by the total number of moles. It can also be stated as the amount of heat energy that will be required to raise

Towards the end of the eighteenth century, various scientists created gas laws.  The main among these are:  Boyle’s law: This describes the link between a gas’s pressure and volume. Charles’s law: The connection between the volume filled by gas and its absolute temperature is given by Charles’ law. Gay-Lussac’s law: This law describes the connection

When two or more chemicals react together, they produce a new substance– this simple statement makes the basis of the big chemical industries manufacturing tons and tons of compounds every year. Manufacture of compounds means transforming one form of matter to another using the already designed chemical synthesis schemes. In other words, chemical industries manufacture

A pure compound’s vapour pressure is the pressure of a vapour in equilibrium with its liquid or solid state at any given temperature. Vapour pressure is a measure of a compound’s capacity to connect with itself; compounds with good bonding have a low vapour pressure (less inclination to escape to the vapour phase), while compounds
