Brady's reagent is an orange solution of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine which reacts with carbonyl containing functional groups to produce an orange precipitate (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone derivative of the c...

A catalyst is something that increases the rate of a reaction without being used up itself. At the end of the reaction, the catalyst remains unchanged.

Benzene does not decolourise bromine water, showing it does not undergo electrophilic addition reactions as the delocalised pi structure is very stable. All of the carbon-carbon bond lengths are the same;...

Sodium Chloride has a high melting point, as it has a giant ionic lattice hence has strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions, which requires lots of energy to overcome the...
