Solutions

A solution is composed of a solute and a solvent. When we dissolve a solute in a solvent, we can obtain a solution. To prepare a solution a known mass of solute

Solutions and concentrations

Learn what a solute is and how it relates to a solution and a concentration. In chemistry, we discuss solutes, solutions and concentrations to describe different substances. There are also units we...

States of matter

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. It includes things that can be seen (all living and non-living, natural and synthetic things) and cannot be seen to the naked eye (e.g. air and...

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry describes the relationship between relative quantities of reactants and products in a balanced chemical equation.

Strength of acids and bases

What is the difference between a strong and a weak acid? How can you tell the strength of a base?

The Electron - an overview

Electrons are tiny particles that are revolving around the nucleus in circular orbits similar to the solar system. Energy of electron in orbit

The mole - exercises

How many acetaminophen molecules are present in 0.25mol of acetaminophen? From the mole concept and the Avogadro’s number, we know that one mole of acetaminophen contains 6.022×1023 acetaminophen...

The mole as a unit of measurement

In everyday language we say one dozen to describe 12 objects, a decade for ten years, a ream for 500 sheets of paper. In chemistry we use moles.
