development of Periodic Table Elements such as gold and silver have been known since the earliest times. In 1649‚ a German alchemist‚ Hennig Brand made the first scientific discovery of an element‚ phosphorous. In the next 200 years‚ knowledge about the properties of elements and their compounds was gained. By 1869‚ 63 elements had been discovered in total. Scientists began to categorise those elements according to the similarities of their physical and chemical properties‚ which become the modern

Chem Exam - ‘98 1. Solve the following problem related to the solubility equilibria of some metal hydroxides in aqueous solution. (a) The solubility of Cu(OH)2(s) is 1.72 x10–6 g/100. mL of solution at 25° C. (i) Write the balanced chemical equation for the dissociation of Cu(OH)2(s) in aqueous solution. Cu(OH)2 Cu 2+ + 2 OH – (ii) Calculate the solubility (in mol/L) of Cu(OH)2 at 25 °C. (1.72 x10–6 g/0.100 L)(1 mol/97.5 g) = 1.76 x10–7 mol/L (iii) Calculate

Introduction: Chemical equilibrium is when the concentrations of the reactants and products have reached a state where reactions occurring in one direction are at the same rate of reactions occurring in the opposite direction. This process‚ called dynamic equilibrium‚ is the main subject of Le Chatelier’s Principle. Le Chatelier pointed out that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a stress that momentarily causes the system to be not in equilibrium‚ a spontaneous change will occur to

the environment Mercury is a persistent‚ mobile and bio-accumulative element in the environment and retained in organisms. Because mercury is an element it is ultimately persistent; it cannot be converted to a non-mercury compound. Mercury in the aquatic environment is changed to various forms‚ mainly methylmercury. Once mercury enters into the environment‚ mercury permanently exists in the environment by changing its chemical forms depending on the environment. Figure as below shows the mercury

the earliest elements explored by humanity. Due to the special red shade it was easy to find in ancient times. The metal was named according to place where it was found‚ the Cyprus islands. Copper produced in massive stars and spread in the world as minerals like chalcocite and chalcopyrite (sulfide of copper)‚ azurite and malachite (carbonate of copper)‚ cuprite (oxide of copper). The atomic number of copper is 29 and the atomic mass is 63.546‚ which means that mentioned element has 29 electrons
