Colloids
Colloids (also known as colloidal solutions or colloidal systems) are mixtures in which microscopically dispersed insoluble particles of one substance are suspended in another substance. The size of the suspended particles in a colloid can range from 1 to 1000 nanometres (10-9 metres). For a mixture to be classified as a colloid, its suspended particles must…

Catalysis
What is Catalysis? All reactants need to overcome certain energy, better known as activation energy in order to form products. This activation energy is the difference between the energy of transition state and the reactant species. Some reactant molecules have enough kinetic energy to overcome this energy barrier whereas others don’t. Hence, not all the reactions happen…

Surface Chemistry
Adsorption The term adsorption was first coined in 1881 by a German physicist named Heinrich Kayser. Adsorption is often described as a surface phenomenon where particles are attached to the top layer of material. It normally involves the molecules, atoms or even ions of a gas, liquid or solid in a dissolved state that is attached to the…

Arrhenius Equation
Temperature has a very significant effect on the rate of chemical reaction. In general the rate of Chemical reactions increases with the rise in temperature. In most cases, the reaction rate becomes double while in a few cases, it may be even more than double for every 10 K rise in temperature. The value of…

Effect of Temp. on Rate of Reaction
Reaction Kinetics deals with the Study of Rates of Chemical Reactions or Processes. It is one of the most advanced studies in the field of physical chemistry. The information about these factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction help engineers and scientists to economically scale up the reactions to industrial scale in various industries.…

Rate Of Reaction
The rate of reaction refers to the speed at which the products are formed from the reactants in a chemical reaction. It gives some insight into the time frame under which a reaction can be completed. For example, the reaction rate of the combustion of cellulose in fire is very high and the reaction is completed in…

Batteries
What is a Battery? A Battery is a device consisting of one or more electrical cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Every battery is basically a galvanic cell where redox reactions take place between two electrodes which act as the source of the chemical energy. Battery types Batteries can be broadly divided into two major…

Electrolytic Cell
What is an Electrolytic Cell? An electrolytic cell can be defined as an electrochemical device that uses electrical energy to facilitate a non-spontaneous redox reaction. Electrolytic cells are electrochemical cells that can be used for the electrolysis of certain compounds. For example, water can be subjected to electrolysis (with the help of an electrolytic cell) to form…
