Mass Spectroscopy of Elements – Atomic Structure
Mass spectroscopy of Elements helps for determining the atomic mass of atoms or molecules. It can be used to determine a compound’s relative isotopic abundance, atomic and molecular mass, and … Read more
Electrochemistry: Definition, Types, Components, Examples, Uses
In the modern world, it is challenging to get through a single day without interacting with electrochemistry. An electrochemical reaction provides the necessary energy for any device that requires a … Read more
Quantitative Electrolysis: Faraday’s Law and Calculation
Quantitative Aspects of Electrolysis was first acknowledged by Michael Faraday. Electrolysis is a process in which an electric current drives a chemical reaction across electrodes. The medium in which electrolysis … Read more
Differences between lyophilic and lyophobic sols
A colloid is a heterogenous mixture in which particle size ranges between 1 and 100 nm. The colloidal state consists of two phases: a dispersed phase and a dispersion phase. … Read more
Differences between nuclear reaction and chemical reaction
Nuclear reaction Nuclear reactions are the process in which two atomic nuclei or one atomic nucleus and a subatomic particle (such as a proton or neutron or high energy electron) … Read more
Electrode Potential: Types, Importance, and Applications
The electromotive force of a cell made up of two electrodes in electrochemistry is known as the electrode potential. Conventionally, the standard hydrogen electrode is used as the reference electrode … Read more
Measuring the Standard Electrode Potential (Eꝋ)
Standard Electrode Potential (Eꝋ) value of three different half-cell types is determined by connecting to a standard hydrogen electrode. Measuring the standard electrode potential of Metal/metal ion An example of … Read more
Fuel Cell – Definition, Types, and Advantages
A fuel cell is a type of galvanic cell that uses traditional combustible fuels, most commonly hydrogen or methane, which are continuously fed into the cell along with an oxidant. … Read more
