Common Ion Effect

With the addition of soluble compounds to the solution leads to the decrease in the solubility of the ionic precipitate due to the ion common with the precipitate, this effect is called the common-ion effect. This effect is due to Le Chatelier’s principle for the ionic association/dissociation reaction for equilibria. Generally, this effect is seen […]

Collision Theory of Bimolecular Gaseous Reactions

The collision theory was first proposed by Arrhenius and later developed independently by William Lewis and Max Trautz. They used the kinetic theory of gasses to work upon the collision theory of reaction rates. While the kinetic theory explains the behavior of gases by considering them to be a sea of constantly moving atoms and

Colligative Properties Physical or Chemical

A colligative property is a property of a solution that is determined by the ratio of the total number of solute particles (inside the solution) to the total number of solvent particles. The chemical makeup of the solution’s components has no bearing on the colligative properties.  As a result, colligative properties can be linked to

Colligative Properties of Solution

“Colligative” has been derived from the Latin word “colligates” which mainly means “bound together”. These properties do not depend on the solution component’s chemical nature. Several qualities convey the concentration of a solution, like morality, polarity, and normality. Therefore these colligative properties can be linked.    What are the other Colligative properties of solution?  There

Colligative Properties of Dilute Solutions

Introduction When the amount of the solute is minimal compared to the amount of solvent, it is known as dilute solutions. They show more or less ideal behaviour as the volume and heat change, and also at the same time the mixing of solvent and solute, are inconsequential for all practical purposes. They consist of

Colligative Properties Important

A colligative property is a quality of a substance determined by the number of particles (molecules or atoms) present but not by the nature of the particles. Two examples of colligative properties are the pressure of an ideal gas and the lowering of a solvent’s freezing point due to dissolved particles. The word “colligative” is

Colligative Properties Examples

Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald, a chemist and philosopher, coined the term “colligative properties” in 1891. We can determine that colligative property is a quality of a substance by the quantity of particles (molecules or atoms) present but not by the nature of the particles. The two examples of colligative properties are the pressure of an ideal

Cleansing Agents in Everyday Life

Cleansing agents are substances that remove dirt by removing fats (which are responsible for binding other substances to our skin or fabric.) These also play an important role in enhancing the cleansing properties of water.Soaking, peptisation, emulsification, and solid soil particle stability are all part of cleansing agents. These processes occur in a highly dispersed

Classification of solids: molecular, ionic, covalent and metallic solids

Introduction Solid is a physical state in which all the  constituent particles are held together by strong forces of attraction, and rearrangement of solid particles closely packed symmetrically or asymmetrically so we can say a solid has a definite  shape, boundary, fixed volume. Some solids are strong, while others can break when pressed. There are

Chromatography

Introduction ‘Chromatography’ is an analytical technique commonly used for separating a mixture of chemical substances into its individual components so that the individual components can be thoroughly analysed. There are many types of chromatography e.g., liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, but all of these employ the same basic principles. Chromatography might be
