What Can You Do With An Associates Degree In Chemistry?
The associate degree (AD) in Chemistry, equivalent to the European level 5, is a two-year higher professional education between the four-year MBO (level 4) and the four-year HBO bachelor (level 6). Many people think a four-year bachelor’s degree is far too long, especially if you want to do it part-time, you are vulnerable, because work,…
Define and explain vapour pressure
The pressure above the surface of the liquid by the vapours at equilibrium between liquid and its vapours at a particular temperature is called equilibrium vapour pressure or simply vapour pressure. Explanation: If we enclosed a liquid in a vessel, molecules start to evaporate above the surface of liquid. Such molecules return back to the…

Limiting reactant | Excess reactant
A reactant that controls the amount of the product formed in a chemical reaction due to its smaller amount is called limiting reactant. Excess reactant: A reactant which is present in large amount in a chemical reaction & some of its amount left after the completion of chemical reaction is called excess reactant. Explanation:…
How Soap perform cleansing action?
Soaps and detergents perform the cleaning action because the polar parts of their molecules are water soluble due to hydrogen-bonding and non-polar parts remain outside water.
Kinetic Equation
Definition: R.J. Clausius deduced an equation for the pressure of an ideal gas from the above assumptions of kinetic theory. This equation is called kinetic equation. Mathematical equation: Explanation: Since the molecules of a gas under the given conditions don’t have the same velocity, therefore mean square velocity is considered. If there are n1 molecules…
