Arrhenius: my Ea for 'rate doubles per 10 K' is 53.6 kJ but the book says 52.9. Who is right?
Also what does the factor P actually do and what does a catalyst change?
Physical, organic and inorganic doubts, answered by students.
Also what does the factor P actually do and what does a catalyst change?
Revision month, chemistry, distinction tests. Every board and NEET paper has at least one "which reagent distinguishes X from Y" question, so I need this airtight. The thing I got wrong in a mock: "Benzaldehyde and propa
Amma says I study chemistry like I'm doing a quiz show, fast but with mistakes 😅. Soil pollution and green chemistry is one of the "easy" last pages that I still get wrong in tests because the examples blur. What I know:
I'm building my one-page template for alcohols, phenols and ethers distinction tests on top, named reactions below and a few cells are still empty. Lucas test: I know the reagent is conc. HCl with anhydrous ZnCl2. I know
I like the poetry of organic names less than I like actual poems, honestly. Naming alcohols is one more place where my marks slip away. Question one. For CH 2=CH-CH 2OH I wrote prop-1-en-3-ol because I thought the double
The formula is short, but the setup around it is where marks leak. Here is where students slip and how to make these questions feel mechanical.
Bhai ek confusion hai jo mujhe raat ko bhi pareshan karta hai. Aufbau principle says electrons fill the lowest energy orbital first: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d... So scandium onwards, 3d is filled after 4s. OK. Then for
SN1, SN2, Markovnikov, carbocations: where understanding saves time and where memory has to take over.
Revising Hydrogen again 3rd time lol, budget wale notes bhi ab ghis gaye . Two things that I never got logically. 1. NCERT says D 2O is used as a moderator in nuclear reactors. A moderator slows neutrons down. But normal
Be vs B, N vs O, Cl vs F, inert pair effect. A way to organise inorganic so it stays in memory.
Second attempt, and I want this chapter to be a strength.
It's 2 am and I can't sleep so I'm revising polyhalogen compounds under a blanket with a torch my mum thinks I'm sleeping . NCERT says chloroform is stored in closed dark brown bottles, completely filled so that air is k
