CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
chemical balance → kemijska ravnoteža
Chemical balance is a degree of reversible reaction in a closed system, when the forward and backward reaction happen at same rates and their effects annul each other, while the concentration of reactants and products stays the same.
law of chemical equilibrium → zakon o kemijskoj ravnoteži
Law of chemical equilibrium (also called the law of mass action) states that the rate at which a substance reacts is proportional to its active mass (i.e. to its molar concentration). Thus, the velocity of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentration of the reactants.
Boudouard’s equilibrium → Boudouardova ravnoteža
Boudouard’s equilibrium is established when carbon dioxide reacts with carbon. Because of reactions endothermity the temperature increase shifts the reaction rightwards and the temperature reduction leftwards.
chemical corrosion → kemijska korozija
Chemical corrosion is a damaging process of some materials with a chemical agent.
chemical energy → kemijska energija
Chemical energy is the energy stored in substances and transferred during chemical reaction.
chemical kinetics → kemijska kinetika
Chemical kinetics is an area of chemistry that studies rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions.
chemical reaction → kemijska reakcija
Chemical reaction is a change of chemical properties of substances which react with each other. By means of a chemical reaction new substances are created by bond breaking between atoms and molecules of reactants and their reuniting in a new way, thereby creating products. Chemical reactions can be shown by chemical equations.
chemical technology → kemijska tehnologija
Chemical technology is a branch of applied chemistry that concerns technical methods and devices in order to manufacture a chemical product.
chemical change → kemijska promjena
Chemical change is a process which results in the production of one or more new materials. The system within which the process takes place is called a chemical system. A chemical change is also known as a chemical reaction, where one substance is converted into one or more different substances. When sodium and chlorine react to produce sodium chloride, a chemical reaction has taken place.
dynamic equilibrium → dinamička ravnoteža
Dynamic equilibrium is established when two opposing processes are occurring at precisely the same rate, so that there is no apparent change in the system over long periods of time.
