Emulsion Examples

In emulsions, two or more liquids are mixed in such a way that the droplets of one of the liquids are dispersed throughout the other. In most cases, such mixtures are created by mixing liquids that are not soluble in one another, either in their natural form or with mechanisms like agitation. Examples of emulsions […]

Emulsifier

The colloidal dispersion of two non-miscible liquids where one liquid acts as the medium of dispersion and the other as a dispersed phase is known as an emulsion.  In simpler terms, it is a special type of mixture which is prepared by combining two liquids that usually don’t mix. The word emulsion derives from the

Empirical and Molecular Formulae

Chemical formulas were first derived by determining the masses of all the elements that combine to create a molecule, leading to the development of two important types of chemistry formulae: Molecular Formula and Empirical Formula.  Compounds are represented by empirical formulas that give the simplest ratio between the number of different atoms present, while molecules

Dispersion Methods

Dispersion is a chemical term for a combination in which tiny particles of one component are dispersed into another. In general, particles in a solution are molecular or ionic in size; those in a colloid are bigger but too small to be seen with an ordinary microscope. Those in a suspension may be seen under

Disinfectants

Introduction Disinfectants are substances that are used to disinfect surfaces. Disinfectants are chemical substances used to prevent the growth of disease-causing bacteria that are dangerous to humans. Disinfectants can be used on non-living surfaces and objects and live ones. Disinfectants are used in hospitals, schools, homes, and public areas to destroy hazardous bacteria such as

Dialysis

Introduction Human kidneys perform the vital function of eliminating metabolic wastes from the body. Any failure of the kidneys to naturally perform their functions would become a matter of life or death for the patient. This is where ‘dialysis’ comes into the picture as a lifesaver. Dialysis is derived from the Greek words ‘dia’ meaning

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure

Dalton’s law of partial pressure has a lot of applications. It is one of the most conventional methods to measure the pressure exerted by two gases and calculate the partial and total pressures. With the help of this law, we understand that pressure in a container consisting of a mixture of gases could be found

Concentration of Solution

The term “diluted” or “concentrated” is used to describe the concentration of a solution; it is a qualitative way of expressing how concentrated the solution is. Dilute solutions are those in which the amount of solute is relatively small, whereas concentrated solutions are those in which the amount of solute is relatively high. We don’t

Concentration in Terms of Molarity

One of the most popular measures used to quantify the concentration of a solution is molarity (M), which shows the number of moles of solute per litre of solution (moles/Liter). Molarity is a unit of measurement that can be used to determine the volume of a solvent or the amount of a solute. The formula

Concentration in Terms of Molality

Introduction The number of moles of a solute is divided by the number of kilograms of the solution’s solvent to get molality. In contrast to molarity, which is determined by the volume of the solution, molality is defined solely by the mass of the solvent in the solution. Because volume changes with changes in temperature
