THE IDEAL GAS LAW The pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of an ideal gas are related by one equation that was derived through the experimental work of several individuals, especially Boyle, Charles, and Gay‐Lussac. An ideal gas consists of identical, infinitesimally small particles that only interact occasionally. Boyle’s Law: Robert Boyle studied the relationship between the pressure p and...

The Chemistry Behind How Sparklers work:
All fireworks are not created equal! For example, there is a difference between a firecracker and a sparkler. The goal of a firecracker is to create a controlled explosion. A sparkler, on the other hand, burns over a long period of time (up to a minute) and produces a brilliant shower of sparks. Sometimes sparklers... Continue Reading →
Study of Carbon Monoxide:
Carbonmonoxide is a toxic one and it is a colorless, odourless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less denser than air . It is very harmful gas for all the living things . There are both natural and artificial (anthropogenic) sources of carbon monoxide and atmospheric concentration of this highly toxic gases are considerable .... Continue Reading →
Scope of chemical engineering in 2050
The employment and demand for chemical engineers have taken big strides from the year 2000 to 2020 and will increase immensely by the year 2050. The areas like environment, alternative energy and many more are in demand for chemical engineers. Many new technologies advanced over the past few decades, its energy engineering firm consulting now... Continue Reading →
pH indicators- An overview:
An indicator is a substance which indicates the completion of a reaction by sharp colour change at the end point without taking part in the reaction. The substances which are used to indicate the end point in acid - base reactions are called as acid - base indicators.(eg., phenolphthalein and methyl orange). Those substances which...

Ether – A view:
Diethyl ether is a colourless, highly volatile and flammable organic liquid compound. It is also called as ethoxy ethane, ethyl ether, sulphuric ether or simply ether. Basically ethers contain an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups. The general formula of ether group is R-O-R' . Ethers are typical in organic and biochemistry,... Continue Reading →
