the forward reaction of the harbour process is exothermic, it gives out heat. so increasing temperature will shift the equilibrium and decrease the yeild, however increasing the temperature also increases th...

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of elements in a formula. chemists use it to make big molecules easier to work with when doing calculations. An example of a working out an empirical formula is; Q) He...

In chemistry if a substance is oxidised it loses electrons in a reaction. If a substance is reduced it gains electrons in a reaction. A reaction that has both oxidation and reduction within it is called a RE...

Reversible reactions are reactions where the products are able to react themselves into the reactants. At the beginning of the reaction, there will be more reactants than products. But as the reaction goes o...
