Application of Le Chatelier’s Principle In Chemical Reactions
In explaining the significance of the Le chatelier’s principle, we shall first have a brief look at what a reversible reaction is. Firstly, every reversible…
Principles and Application of the Haber Process
In explaining the principles and application of the Haber process and equilibrium constant, we must first understand that there is a relationship between these two…
5 Important Properties Of A System In Chemical Equilibrium
When two boys balance each other on a see-saw we say that the balanced see-saw is a system that is in equilibrium. The weight of…
6 Important Characteristics of Organic Compounds
Organic compounds have some very peculiar characteristics and properties when it comes to the kind of chemical reactions they undergo. Since organic compounds have very…
Significance and Properties of the Homologous Series
The numerous organic compounds can be grouped into a comparatively small number of series or families of compounds known as homologous series. The simplest series…
Application of Isomerism in Industrial Chemical Processes
If we study the structural formula of butane or other higher hydrocarbons of the alkane series, we will observe that it is possible to arrange…
Application and Uses of Plastics and Synthetic Polymers
Synthetic polymers are commonly called plastics. The term plastic comes from the Greek word plastikos, which means to mould. Nowadays, plastics refer to synthetic materials…
5 Important Industrial Chemicals of Addition Polymerization
In addition polymerization, the monomers simply join together to form the polymer which has the same empirical formula as the monomer, but is of a…
Application of Condensation Polymerization in Industrial Processes
Condensation polymerization differs from addition polymerization in that small molecules such as water, ammonia or hydrogen chloride are eliminated during the formation of the polymer….
