Anomalous behavior of Water: A Unique Feature
A liquid is said 'normal' if it decreases its volume and increases its density upon freezing. Similarly, if a liquid increases volume and decreases its [...]

Since water comes from different sources, the quality of water in a region can vary considerably from other regions. Water accumulates dissolved solids as it [...]
Buffer solutions resist changes in pH. When a small amount of base or acid is added to a solution containing a buffer, it tries to [...]
Polar solvents are solvents with large dipole moments whereas nonpolar solvents have low or sometimes, no dipole moment at all. The dipole moment arises from [...]
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures through which light can pass, whereas suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures that cannot allow the light to pass through. The main difference [...]
A mixture is a blend of two or more substances when each of them has its own identification and properties. The resultant mixture can be [...]
Colligative properties are the properties that originate in solutions upon the addition of solutes. These are the physical changes dependent on the quantity of both [...]
Solvents are broadly classified into two types, polar and nonpolar solvents. Polar solvents are further divided into protic and aprotic solvents. Concisely, the difference between [...]
