Enzymes are the catalysts of biological systems. They are remarkable molecular designs that determine the pattern of chemical transformations. The most striking characteristics of enzymes are […]
The thermodynamics needed to treat the behaviour of solutions is explored in Chapter 5.8 of the Physical Chemistry book. The aim of this post is to […]
Condensed Binary Systems and Thermal Analysis are described in sections 6.4 and 6.5 of the Physical Chemistry textbook. While most of us may not realise it, […]
So far we have learnt from Chapter 2 of the Physical Chemistry book that the First Law of Thermodynamics is essentially the law of conservation of […]
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is probably the most widely used method for structural elucidation. It provides information about molecular structure through examination of the magnetic […]
The Arrhenius theory of electrolytic dissociation is expressed in Chapter 7.3 of the Physical Chemistry book. The theory stated that electrolytes such as acids, bases and […]
The Donnan phenomenon is not only limited to thermodynamic concepts in physical chemistry. It can be used to help us understand how living cells function. This […]
The overall process of reaching phase equilibrium and the concepts associated with it can be very complex. Here’s where the laws of thermodynamics come into play. […]
