Solvent levelling refers to the effect of the solvent on the properties of acids and bases. The apparent acidity of a solution is limited, or levelled, by the basicity of the solvent it is in. A very stro...

Le Chetelier's Principal gives us a guide to work out what will happen when we change the conditons of a reaction in dynamic equilibrium. It states that if the dynamic equilibiurm is disturbed, the equili...

An atom is comprised of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have positive charge and the number of protons is dictated by the proton number, which is the same as the number of electrons, which have ...

Gibbs Free Energy change: (delta)G = (delta)H - T(delta)S For a spontaneous chemical reaction, (delta)G must be negative. An endothermic reaction has a positive (delta)H value therefore, in order for the ...

Reversible is a term used for certain reactions that never reach a final stage. So imagine we have A and B reacting together to form C, and we say that this reaction is reversible. So at a point in time, ...
