Effect of Temp. on Rate of Reaction
Reaction Kinetics deals with the Study of Rates of Chemical Reactions or Processes. It is one of the most advanced studies in the field of physical chemistry. The information about these factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction help engineers and scientists to economically scale up the reactions to industrial scale in various industries.…

Rate Of Reaction
The rate of reaction refers to the speed at which the products are formed from the reactants in a chemical reaction. It gives some insight into the time frame under which a reaction can be completed. For example, the reaction rate of the combustion of cellulose in fire is very high and the reaction is completed in…

Batteries
What is a Battery? A Battery is a device consisting of one or more electrical cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Every battery is basically a galvanic cell where redox reactions take place between two electrodes which act as the source of the chemical energy. Battery types Batteries can be broadly divided into two major…

Electrolytic Cell
What is an Electrolytic Cell? An electrolytic cell can be defined as an electrochemical device that uses electrical energy to facilitate a non-spontaneous redox reaction. Electrolytic cells are electrochemical cells that can be used for the electrolysis of certain compounds. For example, water can be subjected to electrolysis (with the help of an electrolytic cell) to form…

Electrolytic Conductance
We know that metals are good conductors of electricity as they have a pool of free electrons that flow under the influence of a potential gradient and cause the electric current. But what do we mean by electrolytic conductance? To understand electrolytic conductance, let us first understand electrolytes. Electrolytes are those substances that dissolve in a…

Nernst Equation
What is Nernst Equation? The Nernst equation provides a relation between the cell potential of an electrochemical cell, the standard cell potential, temperature, and the reaction quotient. Even under non-standard conditions, the cell potentials of electrochemical cells can be determined with the help of the Nernst equation. The Nernst equation is often used to calculate the…

Galvanic Cell
What is Galvanic Cell? An electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of spontaneous redox reactions into electrical energy is known as a galvanic cell or a voltaic cell. Galvanic cell Voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that makes use of chemical reactions to generate electrical energy. Let us understand how a voltaic or galvanic cell is created.…

Electrochemical Cell
An electrochemical cell is a device capable of either generating electrical energy from chemical reactions or using electrical energy to cause chemical reactions. What is an Electrochemical Cell? An electrochemical cell is a device that can generate electrical energy from the chemical reactions occurring in it, or use the electrical energy supplied to it to…

Colligative Properties
A colligative property is a property of a solution that is dependent on the ratio between the total number of solute particles (in the solution) to the total number of solvent particles. Colligative properties are not dependent on the chemical nature of the solution’s components. Thus, colligative properties can be linked to several quantities that…

Ideal and Non-Ideal Solution
What is an Ideal Solution? An ideal solution is a mixture in which the molecules of different species are distinguishable, however, unlike the ideal gas, the molecules in ideal solution exert forces on one another. When those forces are the same for all molecules independent of species then a solution is said to be ideal.…
