The cells used for electrolysis are called electrolytic cells while those used for generation of electrical energy from chemical reactions are called galvanic or voltaic cells. The practical application of a galvanic cell is...
The chemical reactions in which both oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously are called redox reaction. Oxidation is the process where electrons are lost from a species and reduction is the process where electrons are gained...
Sodium-potassium pumps, also known as Na+/K+-ATPases, are integral membrane proteins responsible for maintaining the electrochemical gradient across cell membranes. This gradient is vital for numerous cellular functions...
A cell is a device for the conversion of electrical energy into chemical change or vice versa. It is a system containing two metallic electrodes, dipped into the same or different electrolytes, connected by an external metallic...
Electrochemistry is a branch of physical chemistry that deals with the relationship between electrical energy and chemical energy. It is the study of processes involved in the inter-conversion of electrical energy and chemical...
The water used in industries should be free from impurities, hardness corrosive agents. If these salts are not removed properly, problems like scale and sludge formation, corrosion etc., occur in the boiler. The process of...
Boiler feed water A boiler is a device used to produce steam. One of the major uses of water in industry is generation of steam by boilers. The water used to feed in boiler for the production of steam is called boiler feed...
Water technology (H2O) is one of the abundantly available substances in nature. Water forms about 75% of the matter on Earth’s crust. It is essential for the survival of all living beings. Sources of Water The two major sources...
The ideal gas equation establishes the relationship among the pressure exerted by a certain number of moles of a gas, its temperature and the volume occupied by it. But the pressure exerted by a mixture of gases present in a...
