Nernst equation and its application to chemical cells

What Does Nernst Equation Means? The Nernst equation offers the connection in between cell potential of the elctrochemical cell, temperature, standard cell potential, and the “Q” reaction quotient. Surprisingly, taking non-standard conditions under consideration, electrochemical cells’ cell potential can be find out using Nernst Equation. The “standard cell potential” explains the potential difference that emerges … Read more

Physical and chemical properties of amines

The amines are formed as the derivatives of the ammonia compound. The derivatives are formed by the replacement of the hydrogen atoms from the ammonia. The amines have an alkyl or aryl group that replace the hydrogen atoms. The amines are categorized into the primary, secondary, tertiary and cyclic amines depending upon the number of … Read more

Nature of c-x bond in haloarenes

The chemical compounds containing arenes, where one or more hydrogen atoms bonded to an aromatic ring are replaced with halogens are called Haloarenes. It contains halogen atom(s) attached to sp 2 hybridised carbon atom(s) of an aryl group. The nature of C-X bond depends on both the halogen attached and the nature of carbon in … Read more

Importance of Diazonium Salts in Synthetic Organic Chemistry

In synthetic organic chemistry, diazonium salts are widely used compounds. At first, diazonium salts were used for the production of water fast dyed fabrics and the reaction involves the immersing of fabrics to an aqueous solution of the diazonium compound. Then it was immersed in a solution of the coupler, which is the ring which … Read more

Identification of amines

The amines are basically the derivatives of the ammonia. The derivatives of ammonia are formed by replacing the hydrogen atoms of the ammonia. The ammonia having nitrogen and ligand in its orbital behaves as a nucleophile. Thus the ammonia undergoes nucleophilic substitution reaction with the alkyl halides. Thus, with further substitution, the higher order of … Read more

Monosaccharides (Glucose and Fructose)

Monosaccharides are the simplest forms of the sugars and simplest classification of the carbohydrates which are found in the innumerable common foods such as fruits, cane sugars, and honey. Monosaccharides are formed by the three elements only, which are hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. They are the most basic units of the carbohydrates and their hydrolyzation … Read more

Magnetic properties of d and f Block Elements

d and f Block Elements Magnetic properties Every spinning electron in an atom or molecule can behave like a tiny magnet. Electrons that are positioned in opposite spins have an opposing orientation to create no net magnetic effect. Therefore, elements and ions with paired electrons and completely filled orbitals do not show magnetic properties. Only … Read more

DNA

DNA is the Deoxyribonucleic acid that is a long molecule containing four unique genetic codes. It holds all of the instructions to hold the proteins. In short, the genome is made up of deoxyribonucleic acid. It has four basic building blocks, cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thiamine. DNA has the two strands and it has a … Read more

Enzymes

Enzymes are the biological molecules, that speed up the chemical reactions in the living organisms. They alter the molecules by binding to them in a specific way. They are essential for food digestion, respiration, for the functioning of nerves and muscles, and have various other roles. Enzymes are made up of proteins, and they are … Read more

Hormones

Elementary Idea of Hormones Hormones are also known as signaling molecules. In the multicellular organisms they are produced by the glands and they are transported to the targeted distant organs by the circulatory system for regulation of behavior and physiology in the living organisms. It is a chemical messenger and is directly secreted to the … Read more
