Alkane Compound

Alkane Compound

Press the ‘C’ button to add carbon, press the ‘H’ button to add a hydrogen atom, and press the ‘O’ button to add an oxygen atom. The added atoms are randomly placed and may not give … more

Surface Tension

Surface Tension

Surface tension Surface tension is a type of force that acts to minimize the surface of liquids. Liquid molecules are pulling together with other molecules around them. This force is called a ‘cohesive force.’ On the … more

Chemical Change of Candle

Paraffin, the main ingredient of candles Paraffin, the main ingredient of candles, is alkane hydrocarbons in which 20 to 40 carbon atoms are linked in a chain. It does not dissolve in water as a polar … more

Charle's Law

Charles’s Law

Charle’s Law Assuming constant pressure, increasing the temperature of the gas will speed up the molecular motion. As the gas often collides with the vessel wall, the volume increases. Conversely, if you lower the temperature of … more

Boyle's Law

Boyle’s Law

Boyle’s Law If you press the piston of a syringe containing a certain number of gas molecules, the gas molecules’ space is reduced. Therefore, the gas molecules collide with the syringe wall more and more. As … more

Pressure Volume Diagram

Pressure Volume Diagram

You can drag ‘start’ and ‘endpoint.’ Thermodynamics of Gas The gas changes its temperature while exchanging thermal energy with the outside and sometimes does work outside as it expands or contracts. The process of changing the … more

Chemical Reactions in Gas Phase - Ammonia Synthesis

Chemical Reactions in Gas Phase – Ammonia Synthesis

Ammonia synthesis process Ammonia is a widely used material, such as fertilizers, plastic materials, medicines, and daily necessities. Currently, ammonia is being mass-produced at factories. However, when we did not know how to synthesize ammonia in … more

Le Chatelier's Principle

Le Chatelier’s Principle

Pressure and chemical equilibrium transfer According to Le Châtelier, if the pressure is increased, the equilibrium position will move to reduce the pressure. The system can reduce the pressure by reacting in such a way as … more

Ionic Bond

Ionic Bond

Formation and energy of the ionic bonds Metal atoms have strong properties to lose electrons and become cations. On the contrary, non-metallic atoms have strong properties to obtain electrons and become anions. As these two particles … more

Temperature and Reaction Rate

Temperature and Reaction Rate

Heat and molecular motion Every object is made up of atoms or molecules that are small particles that the eye can not see. These particles are constantly moved or oscillated themselves. This is called molecular motion. … more

Pascals Principle

Pascal’s Principle

Pascal’s Principle Pascal’s principle is as follows. “Suppose a closed tube filled with uncompressed fluid. Then, the pressure of this tube’s inside is the same everywhere.” For example, If you press any part of the tube … more
