We touched upon the subject of thermodynamics and entropy in a previous blog post, this week will continue the topic of thermodynamics...

The flame photometer is a relatively low-cost, rapid and accurate analytical device used to determine the presence and concentration of...

What may be a simple question can have chemists discussing its definition in detail for days, and the reactions driving force can add...

We’ve all heard of a laser, but what about a maser? What is the difference between the two? Laser is an abbreviation of Light...

When it comes to setting up an experiment, proper planning is crucial. But what is the key role that it plays? All too often, people will...

Basic Mass and Moles chemistry equations in flame photometry The equation between Mass and Moles is probably one of the most important...

Lasers have certainly come a long way since the basic chromium-doped ruby examples were invented in 1960. 60 years, this small beam of...

Compound formation is a type of interference that occurs due to the elevated temperatures present in the flame. The threshold for some...

Representative sampling is a term analytical chemists use as a statistical basis for collecting samples from large sample sources that...

Sources of background interferences are those that emit either light or electronic interference. These are usually cancelled out from the...

Lattice energy is the energy needed to separate a mole of an ionic solid into gaseous ions. Its internationally recognised definition is...

When it comes to physics, a state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter exists. It’s understandable that you...
