properties of continued proportion

Three quantities are said to be in proportion if the ratio of the first to the second is equal to the ratio of the second and third. a, b and c are said to be in continued proportion if a:b = b:c If a, b and c are in continued proportion then b (se..

The Properties of proportions are: Invertendo, Alternendo, Componendo, Dividendo, Componendo and Dividend..

With Heated Metallic Oxide When passed over heated metallic oxides, ammonia reduces them to their metals. ..

Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent. When it undergoes thermal decomposition, it yields nascent oxygen as follows: ..

Ratio is the numerical relationship between two quantities of the same kind. The first quantity is called the antecedent and the second quantity is called the consequent. By performing simple operations on ratios, we get compounded ratio, duplicate ratio, triplicate ratio, sub-duplicate..

The particles present in matter are not stationary, but have a tendency to acquire motion. In fact they are in a state of continuous motion. The rate of movement of the particles is directly proportional to the thermal energy of the particl..

Acetone is a colourless, inflammable, volatile liquid with characteristic sweetish smell. Its boiling point is 56 o C. It is miscible with water, alcohol and ether in all proportions. It specific gravity is 0.792 at 293..

A compound cannot be separated into its constituents by mechanical or physical means. For example, if we bring a magnet near a sample of iron sulphide, the iron present in the iron sulphide cannot be separated . Properties of a compound differ entirely from those of its constituent e..

a) Water of Crystallisation - When crystals of certain salts are formed, they do so with a definite number of molecules of water, chemically combined in a definite proportion. Water of crystallisation is the number of water molecules, chemically combined in a definite molecular propo..

Shape and volume - Gases do not posses any definite shape or volume. They will completely fill all the space available to them. The tendency of a gas to fill the available volume within a container is the result of the freedom that gas particles have to move everywhere in the available space. This ..
