Electrolytes

A compound which conducts electricity when dissolved in water or in molten state is called an electrolyte. For example, the aqueous solution of sodium chloride (NaCl), copper sulphate (CuSO4), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) are electrolytes....

Nuclear Power Plants in India

 In India the first nuclear power plant called “Tarapur atomic power station” was established in Maharashtra in 1969. The important nuclear power plants in India are: Tarapur nuclear power plant at Tarapur in Maharashtra. Rajasthan nuclear power plant at Rana Pratap...

Equilibrium constant

It has been found experimentally that at a particular temperature, when equilibrium is achieved, the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants becomes constant. This can be represented with the help of following formula: Example:- In reaction N2 (g)...
