Understandably, the relative atomic masses of isotopes are often not close to whole numbers as they're adjusted for isotope abudandancy eg. $A_r(Cl)\approx35.45$. However, wouldn't one expect the ...

I need a code/app/website that can receive a DNA sequence, for instance AATCT, and output a file with the atomic coordinates. I used to do this on this website http://www.scfbio-iitd.res.in/software/...

I was recently watching a video on electro plating I understand that it only works with metals so I wondered if there's a method to do the same thing but with non-metals.

Why doesn't the bromine react with the methyl red at the start of the bromine clock reaction? I assume the rate of reaction (and rapid removal) of bromine with phenol is much, much, much faster than ...

Let’s say we have a simple exothermic reaction $\ce{A_{(g)} + B_{(g)} -> C_{(g)}}$ Since it’s exothermic, that means that kinetic energy of C is greater than the kinetic energy of the reagents. ...

In an ideal world, is moving a piston quickly, a reversible process as there is no heat loss due to friction? (as opposed to a quasi static process)

Consider an energy profile diagram. My doubt is that why does change in potential energy (PE) equal change in enthalpy here? At constant pressure change in enthalpy equals the net heat exchanged ...
