Chemical Equilibrium: Finding equilibrium constant‚ Kc 1 Abstract Chemical reactions are accompanied with formation of products. A reaction can be reversible or forward according to the rate of formation of product. However‚ they do not reach completion and the mixture remains in equilibrium. This theory help us the study the existence of equilibrium constant‚ Kc. This constant is temperature dependent‚ and it must be calculated at given temperature. This equilibrium constant

Over the first few months of life‚ nearly all of an infant’s perceptual abilities improve dramatically. One of the most important perceptual abilities is to be able to decide accurately how far away a person or object is. This is very valuable as infants move around‚ because they are likely to fall and hurt themselves if they do not know how far away various objects and obstacles are.

How do sharks reduce drag? And what are the engineering applications? There are three types of drag present on the shark during locomotion. The first type of drag is known as frictional drag‚ which is the greatest element of drags in the shark. This is arises due to the friction created between the skin and the boundary layer and can be reduced with a condition that the boundary layer maintains a turbulent flow. The second type of drag is pressure drag‚ which causes by water deflecting off the moving
