From Batch Flasks to Continuous Flow In batch chemistry, reagents combine in one vessel and the whole pool reacts together over an extended period, with heat and mass transfer limited by the flask's surface-to-volume ratio and the efficienc

Instrumental Chromatography: HPLC and GC Paper and TLC chromatography separate a mixture across a flat, visible surface: you can see each spot and measure how far it travelled. Instrumental chromatography does the same underlying job — sepa

What is the central goal of computational chemistry?1 / 10
To find approximate solutions to the electronic Schrödinger equation for a real, many-electron molecule — cheaply enough to actually run on a computer — in order to predict structure (geometry), energy (reaction energetics, barriers), and other properties (spectra, dipole moments) without needing a closed-form exact solution, which exists only for one-electron systems.
Same monomer, very different plastic HDPE (high-density polyethylene, recycling code #2) and LDPE (low-density polyethylene, recycling code #4) are both built from exactly the same monomer, ethene. Yet HDPE is rigid enough for a hard hat, w
What is combustion analysis, in one sentence?1 / 11
An analytical technique for finding the formula of an unknown organic compound (containing only C, H, and possibly O): a known mass of the sample is burned completely in excess oxygen, and the carbon dioxide and water produced are separately trapped and weighed.
