What is base? According to Lewis theory of acids and bases, a base is the one which has the availability of electrons to donate to an acid. Here, we need to find the stronger base among benzyl amine and aniline. A stronger base will be the one whose electrons are easily available for donation. Structure

How many moles of lead(II) chloride will be formed from a reaction between 6.5 g PbO and 3.2 g HCl? Solution: The reaction between PbO and HCl is: PbO + 2 HCl → PbCl2+ H2O From the reaction it is clear that 1 mole PbO reacts with 2 mole of HCl. Now, moles of PbO = Given
In this post, we will discuss about the halogenation of alkane with a previous year question based on it. What is the halogenation of alkane? A halogenation reaction is a chemical reaction between a substance and a halogen in which one or more halogen atoms are incorporated into molecules of the substance. Halogenation of an

In this post, we will discuss about Dalton’s Atomic Theory. Dalton based his theory on two laws: the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The law of conservation of mass says that matter is not created or destroyed in a closed system. That means if we have a chemical reaction, the amount
