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...
The calculation of limiting reagents and excess reagents is a real-life application of the stoichiometric relationship between reactants and products. Limiting Reagent : this is the reagent which gets consumed entirely in the chemical reaction. It determines how long a chemical reaction will last or the amount of products to be produced. In other words, the limiting reagent or reactant stops the chemical reaction. Excess Reagent : this is the reactant that could continue to react if the other reactant is still available for the reaction. Let us look at this example, and assume that all the requirements of producing a tricycle are three wheels and a wheel steering and a tricycle company has 600 wheels and 250 wheel-steerings for the production of tricycles. Which of the materials will finish first and how many of the other materials will be left over? 3 wheels + 1 steering = 1tricycle The first thing to do is to find the number of tricycles th...
