A gas burner with adjustable air intake, commonly used in laboratories.
Celsius
Chemistry; General chemistry
A common but non-SI unit of temperature, defined by assigning temperatures of 0°C and 100°C to the freezing and boiling points of water, respectively.
Charles' law
Chemistry; General chemistry
The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvins, if pressure and amount of gas remain constant. Doubling the kelvin temperature of a gas at constant pressure will double ...
Clausius-Clapeyron equation
Chemistry; General chemistry
The Clausius-Clapeyron equation predicts the temperature dependence of vapour pressures of pure liquids or solids.
Reaction quotient
Chemistry; General chemistry
The product of the concentrations of the products , divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants , for a chemical reaction which is not necessarily at equilibrium . For example, the ...
Amplitude
Chemistry; General chemistry
The displacement of a wave from zero. The maximum amplitude for a wave is the height of a peak or the depth of a trough, relative to the zero displacement line.
Octet rule
Chemistry; General chemistry
A guideline for building Lewis structures that states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share valence electrons with other atoms in a molecule until they hold or share eight valence electrons. The ...
