Physical & Theoretical Chemistry - Properties of Solutions

Properties of Solutions Home > Physical & Theoretical Chemistry > Properties of Solutions PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS Dalton’s Law – Law of Partial Pressures Gas Laws – Ideal Gas Law Properties of Solutions - Henry’s Law – Effect of Pressure on Solubility Solutions and Concentration - Solution Composition   Solutions are homogeneous mixtures . Many chemical reactions are carried out in solutions and solutions are closely related to our every day lives. The air we breathe, the liquids we drink and blood and the fluids in our body are all solutions. The components of a solution are: The solvent - the major component of a solution The solute - the minor component of a solution Solutions especially liquid solutions , usually have different properties than either the pure solvent or the solute. For example, pure wat...

Physical & Theoretical Chemistry - Thermochemistry

Thermochemistry 0) - heat is absorbed by the reacting system "> 0) - heat is absorbed by the reacting system"/> 0) - heat is absorbed by the reacting system Thermochemistry deals with determining quantities of heat produced or absorbed by a reaction both by measurement and by calculation. It rests on Lavoisier and Laplace's law and on Hess's law: Lavoisier and Laplace's law: The energy change accompanying any reaction is equal and opposite to energy change accompanying the reverse process Hess' law: The energy change accompanying any reaction is the same whether the process occurs in one or in several steps These statements preceded the first law of thermodynamics (1845) and helped in its formulation.

Physical & Theoretical Chemistry - Chemical Kinetics

Chemical Kinetics Home > Physical & Theoretical Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics CHEMICAL KINETICS Rate of chemical reaction - Chemical Kinetics Rates of a chemical reaction and the Collision Model How to determine the order of a reaction by the Initial Rates method   Chemical kinetics is the area of chemistry concerned with the rates (speeds) of reactions . It explains how the rates of different chemical reactions vary over an enormous range of time scales (seconds to years). The main goals of chemical kinetics is to understand the following: The factors that control reaction rates Establish relationships between the rate of a reactions and the amount of reactants present Understand the steps by which a reaction occurs (mechanism of reaction) Optimize conditions to carry out chemical reactions at reasonable rates under proper contro...
