A type of analysis in which constituents of substances are detected or identified is called qualitative analysis. A type of analysis in which constituents of substances are detected or identified is called qualitative analysis. Following steps involve in the quantitative analysis: (i) Obtaining of a pure sample (ii) Separation of desired constituents (iii) Measurement…
The amount of product is termed as yield. Theoretical Yield: The amount of the product that is expected to be formed according to the calculations based on balanced chemical equation is called theoretical yield. It is the stoichiometric amount of the product. It does not require any experimental work. It is always greater than actual…
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:…
An analytical procedure in which an organic compound is burnt to determine the percentage of each element present in the compound is called combustion analysis. In combustion analysis, weighed amount of an organic compound is burnt in the stream of oxygen in a closed tube known as combustion tube. At the end of this tube…
Following are the main Branches of Chemistry. Organic Chemistry: “The branch of chemistry which deals with the compounds which have carbon as basic constituent elements attached with each other through catenation, is called organic Chemistry.” In other words, Organic chemistry is also called “carbon chemistry.” It is the sub-branch of chemistry science which is active in fields such…
