How to Trick Your Brain Into Loving Study Sessions (Seriously)

Studying doesn’t have to feel like a slog. The truth is: your brain isn’t built to drag through hours of tedium—it responds best to pattern, reward and rhythm. By shifting how you approach study time, you can turn it from duty into something your brain actually enjoys. ‎Here are five simple, smart ways to do it. Try one today and see how your focus follows. ‎1. Study in Short Bursts, Not Endless Sessions    ‎Forget the idea that you must sit for three hours straight. Cognitive science shows our attention drops significantly after about 25–30 minutes. So use the Pomodoro Technique : study for 25 minutes, take a 5‑minute break; after four rounds, give yourself a longer break (15–20 minutes). That rhythm gives your brain permission to reset—and makes that “next block” easier to start.  ‎2. Turn Learning into a Game ‎The brain loves victory—even tiny ones. Set fun micro‑challenges: finish chapter one in 20 minutes, get 10 questions right in a row, or beat yesterday’s time. E...

Laws of Logarithms

  Log (AB) = Log A + Log B

  Log (A/B) = Log A – Log B

  Log (Ax) = X Log A

                                          Example Question

Simple the following without using tables

1.    Log 16 ÷Log 4

2.    Log 24 – Log6÷ Log 16

                          Solution

1)   Log 16÷Log 4

 

= Log 2x2x2x2÷Log 2x2

 

= Log 24÷Log 22

= 4Log 2÷2Log2

= 2

2)   Log 24 – Log6÷ Log 16

 

                Solution

Log 24 – Log 6÷ Log 16

 

Log (8x3) – Log (2x3) ÷ Log (2x2x2x2)

 

Log (23x3) - Log (2x3) ÷ Log24

 

Log 23+Log3 – (Log2+Log3) ÷Log24

 

3Log2+Log3-Log2- Log3÷ 4Log2

 

2Log2÷ 4Log2

 

= 1/2

Stoichiometry Tutorial Step by Step

  Stoichiometry is the study of the quantity of the reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction. It can also be defined as the determination of the ratio in which elements or compounds react with one another in a chemical reaction. Method Calculating Stoichiometric Problems In stoichiometric calculation, the basic method of calculating the problems is by converting one quantity to another using the conversion factors which are usually found in a balanced chemical equation. These conversion factors are the important ratios which can be turned into a fraction to produce the desired results. The molar mass of a substance is one of the important conversion units which is defined as the mass of one mole of a substance expressed in grams. Types of Stoichiometry Calculations or Problems There are four basic types of stoichiometry calculations which include: 1.        Mass-to-mass conversion 2.        Mass...

Application of Gay-Lussac’s Law of Combining Volumes

Gay Lussac’s of combining volumes states that gases react in simple ratio with one another and to volumes of the products provided that temperature and pressure remain constant. In this article, you will understand how to apply this law in calculation by studying the following examples below: 1.     2H 2 + O 2 → H 2 O In the reaction above, what volume of hydrogen would be left over when 300cm 3 of oxygen and hydrogen are exploded in a sealed tube?   1cm 3 of oxygen = 2cm 3 of hydrogen 300cm 3 of oxygen = 2 x 300 = 600cm 3 Volume of left over = 1000 – 600 = 400cm 3 2.     Calculate the volume of carbon (II) oxide required to react with 40cm 3 of oxygen. 2CO + O 2 → 2CO 2 1cm 3 of oxygen = 2cm 3 of CO 40cm 3 of oxygen = 2 x 40 = 80cm 3 3.     Calculate the volume of residual gases that would be produced when 100cm 3 of sulphur (IV) oxide reacts with 20cm 3 of oxygen    2SO 2 + O 2 → 2SO 3...

Qualitative Analysis of inorganic Compound

  This is a type analysis which involves the identification of the ions ( cation and anion) in a given inorganic substance. Thus, Qualitative analysis deals with the identification of the compound. To effectively identify the ions, it is necessary to be able to observe the presence of any chemical reaction which is normally recognized by ·         Colour change ·         Evolution of gas ·         Precipitation      Colour Change : colour change is associated with transition metal ions. The major cause of the colour in transition metal ions is electronic transition within the d-block level. The colour of light which show, is the colour of light which is reflected by the ion. This change of transition metal ions is common when they form a bond with water or ammonia. It is important to note that zinc does not form coloured ion, this is because zinc ...
