While researching chromate conversion coating for edits to this answer in Space Exploration SE, I came upon the following passage in Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel to Sulfuric Acid Sulfuric acid is quite corrosive in water although it makes a poor electrolyte due to the fact that very l...

Ideal gas is the one in which there are no attractive or repulsive forces acting and hence its internal energy is due to kinetic energy of its molecules. We may then say, for an ideal gas internal energy is a function of temperature##. $$E = f(T)$$ Hence for an ideal gas ∆E=0; for isothermal proc...

Given below is a page from our Chemistry Textbook: As it can be seen, the direction of $E_{ext}$ in figure $3.2(c)$ is opposite to the direction in figures $3.2(a)$ and $3.2(b)$. I understand that $E_{ext}$ is supposed to oppose potential of the voltaic cell in figures $3.2(a)$ and $3.2(b)$. B...

I find these kind of problems really confusing for some reason but I saw a way on the web and tried doing it that way: So I considered the basic Fischer operations( Vertical: Below the plane of paper and Horizontal: Above the plane of paper ) and tried making a sawhorse representation: But I a...

While attempting this problem I thought that P1 would simply be Bromine getting substituted by OH through nucleophilic substitution. P2 would give a product formed through ring expansion as a 4 membered ring would tend to rearrange to a 5 membered ring due to strain factors.(SN1 reaction(acidic ...
