There is a wide range of career opportunities for people who choose to study a genetics program in their higher education studies. Some career opportunities include healthcare scientists, pharmacologists, clinical research, research scientist, and geneticist. Because of this, many people are trying to research what the best schools are to study genetics. Most undergraduate programs […]

You might have gone through different types of distillation techniques. Of them azeotropic distillation is quite interesting one. This method is used to separate azeotropic solutions. As per Wikipedia, an azeotrope is a mixture which cannot be separated by simple distillation. In general, most liquid mixtures can be separated by fractional distillation (FD). During the […]

Redox titrations involve oxidative reduction reactions. This types of titrations are quite common in usage next to acid-base titrations. As the name indicates, these redox titrations are used to analyze the reducing agents or oxidizing agent. The reaction involves the transfer of electrons, hydrogen or oxygen. The principle of redox titration: The test substance if […]

Potentiometric titration is a method of chemical analysis. This technqiue relies on the measurement of electromotive force (EMF) of a solution using a set of indicator and reference electrodes. The potential or EMF of a solution depends on the nature and concentration of the ions of the test substance. The EMF or potential is measured […]

Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry which tries to estimate and determine the actual chemical entity in a given sample. When a packed food item is taken, we can find the details of its components to like carbohydrates, proteins, saturated fats, sodium chloride etc. mentioned in grams or milligrams. This is acertained by use […]

Distillation is a process of separation of a specific substance from a liquid mixture by evaporating and subsequent cooling into a separate chamber. There are different types of distillation like 1. Simple distillation 2. Fractional distillation 3. Steam distillation 4. Vacuum distillation 5. Azeotropic distillation Simple distillation Here a liquid mixture is heated in […]

Cells, in general, are designed to respond to specific signals. They can do so because of receptors on their surfaces. In general, cells respond to bio-molecules like hormones, ions, vitamins, etc. They also respond to drugs, heavy metals and poisons. But, all the body cells do not respond to all the chemical signals. To put […]

Mammals are the highly evolved animals on the planet. As per evolution theory, they are originated from the reptiles like the birds. But they have some interesting facts. 1. Give birth to young ones: Mammals unlike birds, reptiles etc, do not lay eggs. They give birth to fully formed young ones. The young ones are […]
