Baking soda, chemically known as sodium bicarbonate, is a white crystalline powder with alkaline properties. It is a chemical compound with molecular formula, NaHCO3. Baking soda is a salt composed of a sodium cation (Na+) and bicarbonate anion (HCO3–). It … Read more
Bleaching agents are the chemicals that lighten or whiten substances by dissolving colored substances or by changing its light-absorbing properties. Bleaching agents are commonly used in the paper and pulp industry, the textile industry, and the commercial and household laundering. … Read more
Potassium dichromate is an inorganic compound, employed as an oxidizing agent in various laboratory chemical reactions. The potassium dichromate formula contains the following elements: potassium K, chromium Cr, and oxygen O. It has the structural formula K2Cr2O7. It is composed … Read more
Bond cleavage is the dissolution of a chemical bond (usually a covalent bond). Covalent bond fission, or covalent bond breaking, can occur in two ways: i.e., Homolytic bond cleavage and Heterolytic bond cleavage. Homolytic bond cleavage Homolysis, also known as … Read more
Salt is defined in chemistry as an inorganic or organic molecule with ionic bonding. When dissolved in water, ions break down into positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. Positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) make up salts. Because a … Read more
The Ziegler-Natta catalyst is named after Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta and is used to polymerize poly 1-alkene. It is an important class of chemical compounds notable for their capacity to polymerize olefins (hydrocarbons with a double carbon-carbon bond) to polymers … Read more
Several factors influence the acidic strength of carboxylic acids. These factors are classified as structural and environmental. Factors Affecting Acidic Strength of Carboxylic Acids The acidic strength of carboxylic acids can be affected by the solvent used. Carboxylic acids tend … Read more
Halogenation of alkene involves the addition of a halogen such as bromine or chlorine to an alkene’s double bond. Because of the polarizability of their covalent bond, halogens can act as electrophiles. Halogen addition is stereospecific, producing vicinal dihalides with anti-addition. … Read more
Isolation of fluorine posed numerous challenges. It remained a challenging topic in chemistry for many years until it was finally isolated by Moissan in 1886 after 75 years of laborious research by many chemists. In 1771, Scheele produced an acid solution in … Read more
