Arrhenius Equation

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Arrhenius Equation In this article, we shall study the factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction and the Arrhenius equation. Factors Affecting the Rate Of Reaction: The Concentration of Reactants: The number of collisions and hence the activated collisions between the reactant molecules increase with the increase […]

Collision Theory

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Collision Theory The occurrence of a bimolecular chemical reaction can be explained on the basis of collision theory. The Collision of Reacting Molecules: Consider a bimolecular general reaction A  + B  →   C In order for a chemical reaction to take place, the molecules of reactants A and […]

Molecularity of Reaction and Catalysis

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Molecularity of Reaction and Catalysis In this article, we shall study the molecularity of reaction and catalysis. The Concept of Elementary Reactions: Many reactions that follow a simple rate law are actually taking place in series of steps. These reactions are called complex reactions. Each step in a […]

Concept of Hydrolysis

Science > Chemistry > Physical Chemistry > Ionic Equilibria > Concept of Hydrolysis In this article, we shall study the concept of hydrolysis. Before studying the concept we have to understand different types of salts. Types of salts: Salts are classified on the basis of the nature of the acids and bases from which they […]

Bonding in Organic Compounds

Generally, organic compounds are formed by covalent bonds among the constituent atoms. Carbon is tetravalent. It contains four electrons in its valence shell. One carbon can share its valence electrons with other elements or with another carbon to form the covalent bonds. Methane is the simplest organic compound. One carbon atom shares its four electrons […]

Coordination Compounds

In this article, we shall study the coordination compounds, their terminology, and nomenclature Double Salts: These are the addition molecular compounds which are stable in the solid-state but dissociate into constituent ions in the solution. They are simply a combination of two different salts. e.g., Mohr’S salt, [FeSO4·(NH4)2SO4. 6H2O gets dissociated into Fe2+, NH+4, and SO2-4 ions. […]

Proteins and Their Classification

Science > Chemistry > Biomolecules > Proteins and Their Classification The name protein (proteios Greek  = pre-eminent or first) was first suggested, in 1838, by a Swedish chemist Berzelius to a Dutch chemist Mulder, who referred it to the complex organic nitrogenous substances found in the cells of the living beings. They are naturally occurring nitrogenous polymers of different alpha-amino […]
