Alkenes contain a pi bond, which is a site of high electron density, since it contains a pair of electrons delocalised around the two bonded carbon atoms. Because of this, the pi bond can act as a nucleop...

Reaction : N2 + 3H2---> 2NH3 is in equilibrium The reaction is exothermic (produces heat) so the equilibrium will favor the left at high temperatures following Le Chatelier's principle. This is to redu...

First we need to write down the chemical equation and balance it: O₂ + 2CO -> 2CO₂ Given the data, we can calculate ΔG using the following formula: ΔG = ΔH - TΔS However, before w...

Compared to water ice is less dense this is due to hydrogen bonds in the open lattice holding the H₂O molecules apart whereas in liquid form the hydrogen bonds break allowing the molecules of w...

Different substances (fractions) can be separated as they have slightly different boiling points. Different hydrocarbons condense at different sections of the fractionating column, which is very hot at th...
