Hydration Energy: Bonding with Water
When solute-solvent interactions are strong enough to overcome the solute-solute interactions, solutes get dissolved in solvents and a solution is formed. The dissolving process in [...]
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 [...]
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation: Derivation and Applications
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is a mathematical expression used to find out the pH of buffer solutions. This equation relates pH, dissociation of a weak acid, [...]
What is Molarity: Calculation with Examples
Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute dissolved per liter (dm3) of solution. It is the most used unit of concentration. It is [...]
Solubility Rules: Chart and Applications
Solubility is the ability of a solute to form a solution in a solvent. The extent of the solute’s solubility in a specific solvent can [...]
Hydrogen Bond: Types, Strength, Effects & Examples
A hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force of attraction between two molecules. It is weaker than covalent and ionic bonds. However, stronger than van der [...]
Solubility Product (Ksp) – Definition, Applications
Ksp is defined as the product of the equilibrium concentration of ions, each raised to a power that is its coefficient in the balanced chemical [...]
Aqua Regia: The “Royal Water” or “King’s Water”
Aqua Regia, the 'royal water' was first prepared by a famous alchemist by the name of Abū Mūsā Jābir ibn Ḥayyān in the 8th century A.D. [...]
Osmotic Pressure: Determination and Applications
Osmotic pressure is one of the colligative properties of the solution. If two solutions at different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, it allows [...]
