Surface Chemistry

Corrosion is a gradual degradation of metal when it comes in contact with surroundings like moisture and air, thus forming the oxides of the metal on its surface. Metals undergo corrosion easily, and due to this, their strength is also affected.  The corrosion of iron is commonly known as rusting. It can be prevented by […]

Potash alum is one of the chemical compounds that is generally utilised as potassium sulphate dodecahydrate. This double salt compound is utilised usually in the water purification/treatment procedure or medication. Potash alum is also known as potassium aluminium sulphate or potassium alum. It is additionally usually known as ‘fitkari.’ Once you are going forward with

Potassium compounds are prevalent and helpful for a wide range of applications. For ages, potash and other potassium compounds have been employed in the production of glass. Today, fertilizers are made from 95 percent of the potassium compounds collected around the world. Potassium dichromate is a chemical substance that has a lot of industrial and

Anhydrous aluminium chloride or AlCl3 is a neutral and white or yellow coloured crystalline substance. It interacts vigorously when it comes in contact with fluids like water to release hydrogen chloride or HCL gas. At 178 degrees Celsius, AlCl3 effortlessly sublimes to produce hydrogen chloride gas. Thus, solid and gaseous by-products are highly damaging to

When materials react with the surrounding environment or medium, electrochemical and chemical reactions occur which destroy the material. This is called corrosion of materials. Most of the time, the term corrosion is used in the case of metals. Rusting iron is the best example of metal corrosion. Corrosion is an undesirable event that happens to

The contact process in chemistry refers to the conversion of sulphur trioxide to sulphuric acid. Sulphur dioxide and oxygen combine and form sulphur trioxide, which makes H2SO4 after contacting water. The conversion of sulphur trioxide to sulphuric acid is the new method of industrially manufacturing sulphuric acid. It is otherwise known as the contact process.

Sulphur trioxide is a chemical compound having formula SO3. It is also popularly called nisso sulfan. Sulphur trioxide exists in many forms. It is present as a gaseous monomer, crystalline trimer and solid polymer. At temperatures just below room temperature, it exists as a solid. Properties of Sulphur Trioxide Chemical Formula SO3 Density 1.92 g/cm³

AlCl3 is an anhydrous, white salt ( white when the pure presence of contaminants such as iron chloride gives it a yellowish colour) compound formed by the reaction of chlorine and aluminium solutions. The reaction is exothermic. It contains one aluminium atom and three chlorine atoms. AlCl3 chemical properties, structure formation, and uses are necessary

Surface chemistry is one of the essential scoring topics in chemistry. Concepts like adsorption, dispersion, desorption, absorbent, and adsorbent or occlusion are crucial aspects of surface chemistry. One of the most critical topics among them is catalysis. In order to understand catalysis, it is essential to understand what a catalyst is and what are catalyst

Known as alumina (Al2O3), aluminium oxide is an odourless, non-reactive compound that is white and crystalline in nature and is used in commercial industries. It is extensively used within the scientific field and in cutting-edge warfare. Corundum, for example, is composed naturally of aluminium oxide, which is heatproof and insoluble, a crystalline version of aluminium
