Reducing vs. Non Reducing Sugars: Comparison and Examples
The sugars are classified as reducing and non-reducing sugars. The reducing sugars are the carbohydrates in which the free aldehyde or free ketone group is [...]
Characteristics of Acids and Bases
The distinction between the characteristics of acids and bases is generally based on taste and feel. The acids are sour and the bases are bitter [...]
Solvolysis: Classification and Examples
Solvolysis is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which a solvent act as a nucleophile. In this reaction, the solvent reacts with the substrate so that [...]
Relationship Between Solubility and Solubility Product
Solubility refers to the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in a solvent to form a homogeneous solution at a given temperature and [...]
Hydride Shift: Types with Examples
In organic reaction, the hydride shift is the rearrangement reaction in which the hydride ion (H-) is transferred from one carbon atom to another. This [...]
Lanthanides: Preparation and Properties
Lanthanides are rare earth elements. They are also known as inner transition elements. The symbol Ln is used for the discussion of any lanthanide. However, [...]
Decomposition Reactions: Types with Examples
The reaction in which one compound is broken down into two simpler substances is known as a decomposition reaction. This reaction is exactly the opposite [...]
Salt hydrolysis and Types (with Examples)
Salt hydrolysis is the process of breaking down salt into its component ions in interaction with water. This is also responsible for the acidity or [...]
How to Find Lattice Energy?
The lattice energy is the energy released when one mole of ionic crystal is formed from the gaseous ions. It can also be defined as [...]
Derivation of Van’t Hoff Equation and its Applications
The Van't Hoff equation concerns how the equilibrium constant (Keq) changes with the change in temperature. This equation was proposed by the Dutch chemist Jacobus [...]
