Equilibrium reactions

It is a common observation that most of the reactions when carried out in a closed vessel do not go to completion under given set of conditions of temperature and pressure. In fact in such cases, in the initial state, only the reactants are present but as the reaction...

Nuclear Theory

The process of nuclear fission can be understood on the basis of liquid drop model proposed by Yakov Frenkel, Neils Bohr and John Wheeler. In this model, nucleus of U-235 is treated as a positively charged, non-compressible drop of a liquid which is enclosed by a thin...

Factors effecting rate of reaction

There are a number of factors which affect the rate of reaction such as-     1. concentration of reactants    2. Temperature    3. Catalyst    4. Radiations    5. Surface area of reactants Let us briefly discuss these factors 1. Concentration of reactants It is has...
