pH of Aqueous Solutions of Salt

Most of the acids are weak; there seem to be hundreds and thousands of them, but only a few dozen are strong. We can manage weak acid solutions in the same way as we handle strong acids. The only variation is that we must now account for the acid’s incomplete “dissociation.”  We shall begin with […]

PH Maintenance

It is known that bases and acids do not generally react with each other if they have the same composition in the same proportion. Some react with great force, and others are moderate, while certain others do not show a reaction at all. To calculate the acid’s strength and foundations in quantity, a universal indicator

pH and Buffer solutions

Introduction: An example of a buffer solution is a water-solvent-based solution that is comprised of either a weak acid and the conjugate base of the weak acid, or a weak base and the conjugate acid of the weak base, in addition to a weak base. They are resistant to pH changes caused by dilution or

Periodicity of Valence

The number of electrons that each element gains or loses in order to complete its outermost shell is referred to as its valency. When an atom’s outer shell, or octet, is completed, it becomes more stable (8 electrons ions in the outermost shell). As a result, element valence or oxidation states interact with other atoms

Oxidizing Agent

During a redox reaction, an oxidising agent is a reactant that removes electrons from other reactants, which is known as oxidation. Typically, the oxidising agent absorbs these electrons for itself, resulting in the reduction of the oxidising agent and the gain of electrons. As a result, an oxidising substance serves as an electron acceptor. Another

Oxidation States and Inert Pair Effect

The inert pair effect refers to the valence s- electrons of a high-atomic-number atom’s reluctance to participate in chemical processes due to poor shielding of these electrons by inner orbital electrons. As a result, the s-electrons are unavailable for bond formation. If we move along the group, this effect becomes stronger. Due to the inert

Oxidation State of Actinides

Oxidation is an important process involved in various chemical reactions. It takes place during the amalgamation of various chemical components.  What Oxidation State And Process In Chemistry? Oxidation is the process of loss of electrons or gain in the oxidation state of an atom, an ion, or of certain atoms in a molecule. In other

Oxidation State

Each atom has an oxidation number during the oxidation-reduction reaction, which shows its ability to gain or donate electrons. E.g., The Fe³⁺( iron ion) possesses an oxidation number of +3 as it can gain three electrons to form a chemical bond. In comparison, the O²⁻ (oxygen ion) has an oxidation number of −2 because it

Oxidation Number

To form a chemical bond with another atom, the entire number of electrons that an atom can either lose or gain or share is known as oxidation number. An oxidation number is assigned to those atoms participating in the oxidation-reduction reaction, which mainly shows their ability to donate, share electrons and acquire. The meaning of
