Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure

Science > Chemistry > Solutions and Their Colligative Properties > Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure In this article, we shall study the phenomenon of osmosis and osmotic pressure. Semipermeable Membrane: A semipermeable membrane is a membrane which allows the solvent molecules, but not the solute molecules through it. Examples: Cellulosde, cellulose nitrate, animal bladder. Osmosis: The spontaneous […]

Concept of Electrode Potential: Nernst Theory

Science > Chemistry > Electrochemistry > Nernst Theory In this article, we shall study the Nernst theory of electrode potential, Nernst equation, and its use. Single Electrode or Half cell or Electrode Couple: A single electrode or half cell or electrode couple is produced when a metal is dipped in the solution of its own […]
