The rate of chemical reactions depends on the temperature, concentration of the reactants, size of the particles reacting and whether there are any catalysts present.
When the temperature is increased, …
The atomic radius across a period in the periodic table tends to decrease from left to right. As you move across a period the number of electrons from one element …
All 3 compounds are basic structures in Organic Chemistry, more precise: Aromatic Chemistry, as all of them have a benzene ring (having a benzene in compound is definition of Aromatic …
Firstly you must recognize that the reaction that is referred to is the one where nitrogen combines with hydrogen to produce ammonia: N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3. When talking about …
CFH3 has a tetrahedral structure. It has a dipole pointing from the carbon to the fluorine because the fluorine is more electronegative than carbon. Fluorine is also much more electronegative …
Successive ionization energies increase because for the same nuclear charge (positive pull of the nucleus) there are fewer electrons each time one is removed, thus more energy is required to …
The ideal gas law is PV=nRT, and we know that we can achieve the molar mass through the relationship of; n=m/mr. When using the ideal gas law it is essential …
PH3 is not hydrogen bonded whereas NH3 is hydrogen bonded. Hydrogen bonding is the strongest type of covalent bonding.
Sigma bonds form as a result of end on overlap of orbitals (pp, ss or sp) along the axis between two atoms' nuclei. Pi bonds form because of parallel overlap …
By the VSEPR (Valence shell electron pairs repulsions) theory, even though there are four electron pairs on C and N, the presence of a lone pair of electrons on N …
The acidity of a compound is measured by its pKa, which is defined as: pKa=-log([H+]) ([H+] is the concentration of H+ in solution). As [H …
A chiral carbon is a carbon atom that is attached to 4 different types of atoms or groups of atoms.
Background knowledge Boiling point reflects the strength of intermolecular forces. The more attracted molecules are to each other, the more energy is needed to separate them and turn them into …
[Throughout the question, references will be made to a diagram which shows the mechanism of the reaction] In organic addition reactions like the one described in the question, an unstable …
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an atom. As the nuclear charge of an atom increases and the size of an atom …
Ionic bonds are an electrostatic attraction between oppositly charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a non-metal (positively charged cation) (group I,II, III on periodic table) and a metal (negatively …
The pKa is a way of measuring the strength of an acid in water solution. An acid, in this context, is a molecule that releases a proton (H+) when in …
A + B -----> AB In the chemical reaction above, reactant A reacts with reactant B to form product AB. However, it is a common misconception that this reaction only …
The experimental data given in the question will serve as a basis for comparison when answering the question. You must compare the initial rates of reaction given to the concetrations …
