understanding chemical kinetics

As acids and bases are highly corrosive and reactive substances it is important to understand their reaction and responses on substances commonly found around us. It helps us to understand the outcomes of using them in daily life. Let see the different acids and base..

Processes by which substances are transformed to one or several products are called chemical reactions. Chemical processes that occur in the presence of light, like sunlight, are called photochemical reactions. These processes can occur naturally or under controlled condit..

. Transition State explains the rate of reaction in term of formation of a transition state of reacting molecules. The formation of transition state requires energy of activation. Transition state theory connects kinetic rates with thermodynamic properties of reactants and the transition ..

>Matter consists of molecules. These are the smallest particles, which are capable of free existence and retain all the chemical properties of the parent substance. The molecules are always in a state of random continuous motion. The molecules exert forces on one another. These forces dep..

When a potential difference is applied across the ends of a conductor, the free electrons are accelerated and acquire kinetic energy. As the electrons move through, they collide with the positive ions and atoms of the conductor and transfer their kinetic energy to the..

The study of reactions is one of the important areas of Chemistry. There are many aspects of a reaction like the rate of reaction, energy absorbed or evolved, mechanism of a reaction that can be evaluated only with weight and volume relationships. A study of reactions is possible by unde..

Ag dissolves into the solution and the released electron flow towards the positive end of the external source. In this process one electron circulates for the deposition of every silver atom on the cathode. Faraday's laws of electrolysis: (a) The mass of substance (m) deposited at the cathode (or d..

Let us do more activities to understand the chemical nature of acids and base..
