Catalysis  — Research Starter

Catalysis refers to the process by which substances called catalysts increase the rates of chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. Catalysts play a crucial role in various industrial…

Carnot cycles  — Research Starter

The Carnot cycle is a theoretical model in thermodynamics representing an idealized four-step process that a working substance, such as gas in a piston engine, undergoes to convert heat into work.…

Carbon and carbon group compounds  — Research Starter

Carbon is a fundamental element crucial to life and a cornerstone of organic chemistry, distinguished by its ability to form diverse and complex molecular structures. With an atomic number of 6,…

Capillary forces  — Research Starter

Capillary forces refer to the interactions at the boundary between two fluids that arise due to the curvature of that boundary. These forces are crucial in a variety of natural and man-made processes,…

Capacitors  — Research Starter

Capacitors are fundamental electrical components used to store electrical charge and energy. They consist of two conductive plates, typically made of metal, separated by an insulating material known…

Calorimetry  — Research Starter

Calorimetry is a collection of experimental techniques used to measure energy changes and heat flows associated with chemical reactions and physical changes. The term "calorimetry" comes from the…
