What is Free Energy?
free energy refers to the amount of internal energy in a thermodynamic system that is available to do work. There are different forms of thermodynamic free energy
What is Petrol refining?
Petroleum Refining is defined as the industrial process of production of useful petroleum products from crude oil. The crude oil in its raw form is a dark and sticky liquid which is not useful. To get the usable products from the crude oil, it needs to be refined.
What are Biodegradable Polymers
These are those polymers which decompose under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, as a result of the action of microorganism/enzymes.
What is Crystal Field Theory?
Crystal field theory established in 1929 explains the interaction of the metal ion and the ligand as a pure electrostatic reaction
What is Chirality?
Chirality is an important property of asymmetry in many branches of science. A chiral molecule or ion exists in two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other, called enantiomers
What is Polyvinyl Chloride?
Polyvinyl chloride is produced from the main component. It is white, brittle solid material available in powder form or granules.
What is Optical activity?
Optical activity is the ability of a chiral molecule to rotate the plane of plane-polarised light.some organic compounds cause the rotation of polarized light
What are Elastomers?
Elastomers are polymers showing properties of both viscosity and elasticity and are also called viscoelasticity. The molecules of elastomers held together by weak intermolecular forces
What are Biodegradable Polymers
These are those polymers which decompose under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, as a result of the action of microorganism/enzymes.
What are Kinetic theory of gases
It is a theoretical model which details the molecular composition of the gas in terms of a huge number of sub microscopic particles that contain both atoms and molecules.
What is Free Energy?
free energy refers to the amount of internal energy in a thermodynamic system that is available to do work. There are different forms of thermodynamic free energy
What is Chirality?
Chirality is an important property of asymmetry in many branches of science. A chiral molecule or ion exists in two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other, called enantiomers
What is Sedimentation?
Sedimentation is the simplest separation method and an essential concept.in the separation process the solids are separated from the liquids
What is Fluorescence?
Fluorescence spectrometry is a fast, simple and inexpensive method to determine the concentration of an analyte in solution based on its fluorescent properties.
What is Smelting?
Smelting, is a process in metallurgy, where the metal obtained from its ore by heating beyond its melting point, in the presence of oxidizing agents,
What is Galvanization?
It is a process that involves the protection of steel and iron from exposure to the atmosphere leading to rusting
What is Calcination?
Calcination is a very simple chemical process, where the solid material or the substance is heated in a controlled environment, in the process the temperature is also regulated
