Chemical Reactions

89.0K
A chemical reaction is a process by which the bonds in the atoms of substances are rearranged to generate new substances. Matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction—the same type and number of atoms that make up the reactants are still present in the products. Merely, the rearrangement of chemical bonds produces new compounds.

A chemical reaction takes starting materials—the reactants—and changes them...

EDTA: Chemistry and Properties

2.0K
Polydentate ligands are most widely used in complexometric titrations because they form more stable complexes with the metal ions than mono- or bidentate ligands due to the chelate effect. Examples of polydentate ligands are ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), crown ethers, and cryptands. The most important feature of optimal polydentate ligands is the ability to form 1:1 complexes in a single-step process. Amino carboxylic acid derivatives are frequently used as complexing agents. EDTA is...

Colligative Properties of Electrolytes
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...

Chemical Equations

63.7K
Chemical equations represent the identities and relative quantities of substances involved in a chemical reaction. The substances undergoing reaction are called reactants, and their formulas are placed on the left side of the equation. The substances generated by the reaction are called products, and their formulas are placed on the right side of the equation. Plus signs (+) separate individual reactant and product formulas, and an arrow (→) separates the reactant and product (left and...

Chemical Equilibria: Redefining Equilibrium Constant

627
The effect of an inert salt on the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt is known as the salt effect. The degree of the salt effect varies with the ionic strength of the solution, which in turn depends on the activity of the species in the solution. The activity is expressed as the product of concentration and the activity coefficient of the species.
To calculate the equilibrium constants of solutions of moderately high ionic strength, one must account for the salt effect. This redefined...

Chemical Equilibria: Systematic Approach to Equilibrium Calculations

756
Equilibrium calculations for systems involving multiple equilibria are often complex. For example, to calculate the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt in an aqueous solution in the presence of a common ion, one must consider all the equilibria in this solution. Calculations for these systems can be complicated and tedious, so a systematic approach with a series of steps is often helpful. The process is detailed below.
The first step is to identify all the chemical reactions involved, The...

Area of Science:

  • History of Chemical Engineering
  • Industrial Chemistry
  • Scientific Publishing

Background:

  • George Davis's extensive industrial experience (1870-1884) informed his approach to chemical engineering.
  • The British chemical industry faced economic pressures, necessitating more efficient production methods.
  • Davis served as a sub-inspector in the Alkali Inspectorate, gaining insights into industry challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze George Davis's dual role as editor of the Chemical Trades Journal (CTJ) and a practicing chemical consultant.
  • To investigate the development and promotion of Davis's chemical engineering framework through the CTJ.
  • To examine the CTJ's target audience, content evolution, and competitive landscape during Davis's editorship (1887-1906).

Main Methods:

  • Historical analysis of the Chemical Trades Journal (CTJ) from 1887 to 1906.
  • Examination of George Davis's professional activities as a consultant chemist and chemical engineer.
  • Review of the socio-economic context of the British chemical industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Main Results:

  • Davis's editorship coincided with his development of a chemical engineering framework aimed at economic efficiency.
  • The CTJ served as a platform to disseminate Davis's ideas and address the needs of the chemical industry.
  • The study identifies key themes in the CTJ's content and Davis's editorial influence over two decades.
