Temperature Temperature is a fundamental physical quantity that measures the hotness or coldness of an object or a system. It is a scalar quantity and is typically measured in units such as Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), or Kelvin (K). Temperature is a macroscopic property that is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles…
Factors affecting the rate of a reaction The factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction are: These factors collectively determine the rate at which a chemical reaction proceeds. It’s important to note that each reaction is unique, and the specific influence of these factors can vary depending on the reaction conditions and reactants involved.…
Rate of a reaction The rate of a reaction is a topic covered in the Chemistry syllabus of AIIMS integrated courses. The syllabus typically includes the following aspects related to the rate of a reaction: It is important to note that the specific syllabus and depth of coverage may vary depending on the course and…
Chemical Kinetics Chemical kinetics is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of the rates at which chemical reactions occur and the factors that influence these rates. It focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which reactants transform into products and the factors that affect the speed of these reactions. Key concepts in chemical…
Standard electrode potential Standard electrode potential, often denoted as E°, is a measure of the relative tendency of a half-cell in an electrochemical cell to undergo reduction or oxidation compared to a standard reference electrode. It represents the potential difference between the half-cell and the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) under standard conditions. The standard electrode…
EMF Electromotive Force (EMF) is a term used in the field of physics and electrical engineering. It refers to the potential difference or voltage developed between two points in an electrical circuit or an electrochemical cell. EMF is typically represented by the symbol “E” and is measured in volts (V). In the context of an…
Laws of electrolysis The AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) entrance exam is a prestigious medical entrance examination in India. While I can provide you with information on the topic of “Laws of Electrolysis” in the Chemistry syllabus, it’s important to note that the syllabus for the AIIMS entrance exam may vary from year…
Electrolysis Electrolysis is a chemical process that involves the use of an electric current to induce a non-spontaneous chemical reaction. It is a technique used to decompose compounds into their constituent elements or ions by passing an electric current through an electrolyte. In electrolysis, an electrolyte is a substance, either in a molten state or…
Kohlrausch’s Law Kohlrausch’s Law, also known as Kohlrausch’s equation or Kohlrausch’s conductivity law, describes the behavior of the molar conductivity of an electrolyte solution at a given concentration. It states that the molar conductivity of an electrolyte can be expressed as the sum of the molar conductivities of its individual ions. Mathematically, Kohlrausch’s Law can…
Electrolytic solutions Electrolytic solutions are solutions that contain ions and can conduct electricity. They are formed by dissolving electrolytes, which are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in a solvent, typically water. The ions in the solution are responsible for the electrical conductivity. In an electrolytic solution, there are two types of ions present:…
