Define the term Solution / What is Solution in Chemistry?

       Solution : Whenever two or more than two non-reacting substances are mixed, the resulting system is called a mixture. A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in their molecular level.              The component having the same physical state as that of the resulting solution is called solvent, the other … Read more

What do you mean by conjugate acid-base pair ?

           Conjugate acid-base : The base formed by the donation of a single proton by an acid is called the conjugate base of the acid. Similarly, the acid formed by the acceptation of a single proton by a base is called the conjugate acid of the base.            Conjugate acid-base pair : … Read more

What are the differences between order and molecularity ?

Differences between order and molecularity: Order No. Molecularity It is the sum of powers of the concentrations in the rate law expressions. 01 It is the number of molecular of reactants taking part in an elementary reaction or in a rate determining step of a complex reaction. Order corresponds to the overall reaction. 02 Molecularity … Read more
