Science > Physics > Kinetic Theory of Gases > Specific Heats of Gases In this article, we shall study the concept of specific heat capacities or Specific heats of gases. Solids and liquids have only one specific heat, while gases have two specific heats: In the case of solids and liquids, a small change in […]
Science > Physics > Kinetic Theory of Gases > Degree of Freedom of Gas Molecules In this article, we shall study the concept of degree of freedom of gas molecules. Degree of freedom for different types of gases. We shall also find the ratio of specific heats for different types of gases. Degree of Freedom […]
Science > Physics > Kinetic Theory of Gases > Numerical Problems on Kinetic Theory of Gases In this article, we shall study to find r.ms. speed of gas molecules, density of gas, pressure exerted by the gas using kinetic theory of gases. Example 01: Calculate the R.M.S. velocity of Hydrogen molecules at N.T.P. given: Density […]
Science > Chemistry > Solid State > Packing Efficiency of Unit Cell In this article, we shall study the packing efficiency of different types of unit cells. In whatever way the constituent particles atoms, molecules or ions are packed, there is always some free space in the form of voids. The fraction of the total […]
Science > Chemistry > Solid State > Bravais Lattices In this article, we shall study the structures of Bravais Lattices. A crystal is a homogenous portion of a solid substance made of a regular pattern of structural units bonded by plane surfaces making a definite angle with each other. Unit Cell: A unit cell is […]
Next phylum in the classification of the animal kingdom is phylum Porifera. Members of phylum Porifera are commonly known as sponges. They are the simplest pore-bearing and primitive multicellular organisms. General Characteristics of Phylum Porifera: Habitat: They are aquatic generally marine (few species are found in freshwater). They are found solitary (live alone) as well […]
Science > Physics > Kinetic Theory of Gases > Pressure Exerted by Gas In this article, we shall study to derive an expression for pressure exerted by gas on the walls of container. We shall also derivation of different gas laws using the kinetic theory of gases. Expression for Pressure Exerted by a Gas Using […]
Science > Physics > Kinetic Theory of Gases > Introduction to Kinetic Theory of Gases In this article, we shall study a very important concept called kinetic theory of gases, using which we can explain behaviour of the gases. Ideal Gas: A gas which obeys gas laws at all temperatures and pressures is called an […]
Science > Physics > Gravitation > Escape Velocity of a Body If the velocity of upward projection is increased, a stage will be reached when the velocity given to the body is such that, the kinetic energy of the body is sufficient to overcome the gravitational influence of the earth. This velocity is known as […]
Science > Physics > Gravitation > Binding Energy of Satellite In this article, we shall study the concept of the binding energy of satellite and its significance. The binding energy of a satellite can be defined as the minimum amount of energy required to be supplied to it in order to free the satellite from […]
