Thermodynamics Thermodynamics is a branch of physics which deals with the energy and work of a system.Thermodynamics is the study of macroscopic systems for which thermal effects are important. These systems are normally assumed to be at equilibrium, or at least, close to equilibrium. Systems at equilibrium are easier to study, both experimentally and theoretically, … Read more
QUICK REVISION TOPIC: Catalyst Definition: Increases or decreases the rate of reaction without actually taking part in the reaction. Types: On the basis of phase of reactants: Same phase : Homogenous catalyst; eg: In Hydrogenation use of Raney nickel catalyst Different phase : Heterogenous catalyst; Eg in Ozone Depletion Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) like … Read more
The Hidden Heat: Understanding Latent Heat of Condensation The world around us is constantly in flux, with water transitioning between its liquid, solid, and gaseous states. These transformations are not merely visual changes; they involve significant energy exchanges, often hidden from our immediate perception. One such energy exchange, crucial to weather patterns, climate dynamics, and … Read more
Kinetic theory of gases The kinetic theory describes a gas as a large number of submicroscopic particles (atoms or Molecules), all of which are in constant rapid motion that has randomness arising from their many collisions with each other and with the walls of the container. According to kinetic theory of gases, the molecules of … Read more
