Collision theory is a theory that governs the rate of reaction and states that there must be collisions before reaction will occur. There is a need to understand that no reaction will occur until there is collisions between reactant particles and only the effective collisions lead to the formation of products. How does collision theory…
There is a need to improve the rate of a very slow reactions but we need to understand that there are several factors that do alter the rates of reactions. The rates of reaction is very affected by about six factors like Temperature, Pressure, Concentration , Surface area, Effect of catalyst and presence of light….
There are several factors that affect rate of chemical reaction and determine how fast or slow a chemical reaction could go. In chemical kinetics, we deal greatly with the rates of chemical reactions, With regards to that, I am going to talk about factors that affect rates of reaction. Actually, there about 6 factors that…
How do you identify a gas? Identifying a gas involves a lot of steps though there is a basic chemical test for each gas which we will cover in this article. However, we can suspect the presence of gas by some basic physical properties though it won’t be conclusive. This is because some gases have…
What actually is a photochemical reaction? A photochemical reaction is a reaction that can only proceed in the presence of light. This implies that a photochemical reaction is a reaction in which the rate is influenced by the presence of light. Reaction rate actually depends on a few factors like temperature, pressure, and concentration but…
What is Electrolysis in chemistry? Electrolysis is the gradual breakdown or decomposition of a compound by the passage of electricity through it. To understand very well what is Electrolysis in Chemistry, we need to really read down and understand everything in this post. By decomposition, we mean dissociating into ions. So decomposition into ioans by…
Resonance in Chemistry is otherwise called Mesomerism simply refers to the alternation or rotation of double bonds in some compounds which ensure their stability. Resonance in Chemistry is a term used to describe the representation of the covalent bonding in some compounds like Benzene, Carbon IV oxide, and even Ozone. Additionally, resonance exists in ions…
The naming of compounds otherwise known as the nomenclature of compounds follows a standard method of nomenclature called the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Though the British curriculum and IGCSE exam still accept British nomenclature and equally IUPAC nomenclature, so it is important you know the two nomenclatures. I will start by…
There are few types of Bond in Chemistry which includes ionic , covalent, hydrogen bonding etc Bonding is very important in Chemistry, compounds are formed via bonding. What then is bonding? Bonding is the combination of two or more elements either by transfer of electrons or sharing in order to attain a stable configuration. There…
Ksp Chemistry or Ksp in Chemistry is a term commonly used in Solubility and solubility-related tasks discussion in Chemistry. However before I go deep into Ksp chemistry and its calculations, I need to recap solubility in chemistry. Solubility is the amount of solute in grams or moles that will dissolve in 1 dm3 of solvent….
