Introduction Hydrolysis is a sort of chemical process in which $\mathrm{H_{2}O}$ is utilised to disrupt the connection between polymer units, resulting in simple monomeric units. The water molecule normally joins the 2 divided components during the hydrolysis procedure. 1 portion will receive the 𝐻+ ion group, while the other will receive the 𝑂𝐻− ion group. That is how hydrolysis occurs. It can be used to disintegrate distinct polymeric units of food materials such as acids, fats, salts, complex carbohydrates, bases & proteins. What is Hydrolysis? Condensation processes are reversed by hydrolysis reactions. Two molecules combine to form a bigger ... Read More

Introduction Substitution Reaction is described as a chemical element's functional group, which is being replaced by another group. An atom or a molecule can be substituted by an extra atom or molecule in this type of reaction. The reaction works when two or more elements are connected in a definite situation. The chemical and physical properties of the element alter because of this reaction. The bonding of chemical changes for this reaction, it also affects molecules and atoms of the element. What is Substitution Reaction? Figure 1 − General substitution reaction General substitution reaction, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0, ... Read More

Introduction In a decomposition reaction, molecules or compounds break to give two or more simpler new substances. There are various types of reactions or chemical reactions: combination type, decomposition type, displacement type, double displacement type, combustion reaction, neutralization reaction, precipitation reaction, and redox reaction. In the precipitation or double replacement reaction, an insoluble precipitate(leftover) is formed or settled down the container. This reaction occurs when two or more soluble salts react or combine to give an insoluble precipitate. The neutralization reaction is a type of reaction where acid (𝐻+), and base (𝑂𝐻−) react or combine to give salt and ... Read More

Introduction Oxidation is the process in which the loss of electrons during a reaction occurs or takes place. loss of electrons can be done by either a molecule or by an atom or by any ion. In oxidation the O.S. of the molecule, atom, or ion increases. While the reduction is the process in which the gain of electrons takes place. Gain of electrons can be done by either a molecule or by an atom or by any ions. In the reduction process oxidation state of the molecule, atom, or ion decreases. Redox reaction is a type of reaction that ... Read More

Introduction Nuclear reactions, as well as Chemical reactions, are 2 types of reactions that differ significantly in terms of how the components participate in these processes. Chemistry is primarily concerned with reactions involving the exchange & sharing of electrons. But even so, these reactions normally have little effect on the nuclei of elements. However, in the case of a nuclear reaction, the elements involved suffer changes in the subatomic particles in their nuclei. The major difference between nuclear versus chemical processes may thus be easily explained as the behavior of the components participating in the reactions; only orbital electrons ... Read More

Introduction Chemical reactions known as displacement reactions occur when a highly reactive element replaces a lesser reactive element from a molecule. Displacement reactions involve both metals & non-metals. If a chemical participates readily and fast in chemical reactions, it is said to be reactive. Different metals have varying degrees of reactivity. The reactivity of metals can be ordered in a hierarchy. An example of this is a reactivity series. Less reactive metals either take part in chemical reactions very slowly or often not. Metal as well as the complexity of some other metals can both undergo displacement reactions. In a ... Read More

Introduction Decomposition, also known as rot, is the breakdown of dead organic matter into more basic inorganic or organic components such as water, carbon dioxide, mineral salts, and simple sugars. The procedure, which is a component of the nutrient cycle, is crucial for recycling the limited amount of matter that takes up real estate in the biosphere. Any physical or chemical entity can be broken down or made simpler through the process of decomposition. Chemical breakdown is another name for chemical decomposition. The result of breaking down a complicated chemical entity into a single chemical entity into two or more ... Read More

Introduction The primary distinction between erosion as well as corrosion is that erosion relates to a physical change in matter, while corrosion refers to a chemical change in matter. Both erosions but also corrosion are natural processes with varying effects on the surfaces they interact with. Although erosion transports tiny rocks including pebbles to new locations, corrosion alters the chemical makeup of objects by causing differences in the composition of the area in which it occurs. Most often, people mix erosion with corrosion, unable to distinguish between the 2 natural processes since they share similarities. What is Erosion? ... Read More

Introduction Aeroplanes, space rockets, and model rockets project through the atmosphere by employing concepts of mechanics. These types of machinery contain advanced propulsion systems that generate power and thrust to project the aircraft. The power inside these aircraft is generated by burning fuel or by combustion. The substance that acts as fuel combines with an oxidizer to form chemical products. These newly generated chemical substances are known as exhaust. When the exhaust is produced energy is generated in the form of heat. To start combustion a source of heat is required. Therefore, heat is not only required to initiate a ... Read More

Differential and derivative are two fundamental concepts in calculus that are often used interchangeably. While they are related, they are not the same thing. Understanding the difference between differential and derivative is important in mastering calculus and its applications. In this guide, we will explore the difference between differential and derivative and their uses in calculus. What are Differentials? Differential is one of the fundamentals divisions of calculus, along with integral calculus. It is a subfield of calculus that deals with infinitesimal change in some varying quantity. The world we live in is full of interrelated quantities that change periodically. ... Read More
