Scholarships Abroad: A Step-by-Step Guide to Success

  Studying abroad can be a life-changing experience for everyone who has the dream of doing so because it provides opportunities to explore new cultures, learn new skills, and boost  your academic profile. However, the significant barrier which is associated with international study is the cost. This is where scholarships can play a very important role, it make studying abroad  possible for students who have the academic dreams to study  abroad. A comprehensive guide on how to access scholarships for studying abroad is listed below: Step One: Research and Identify Scholarships The first thing is to research scholarships that match your  academic profile,your strength or interests, and your academic goals. You can make use of online databases, university websites where you hope to study,  and government resources to find relevant opportunities. Some governments, universities, organizations, and private foundations (like NGOs) offer scholarships, you can look...

How to Analyse the Ions in a Mixture of Copper II tetraoxosulphate VI and Ammonium trioxocarbonate IV

        Copper sulphate(copper II tetraoxosulphate VI) is one of the soluble compounds of copper, it is a blue crystal solid with five molecules of water of crystallization. It can lose its water of crystallization on strong heating to form anhydrous salt which is white in colour. For more detailed information on the analysis of copper sulphate, click Here.       Ammonium carbonate (ammonium trioxocarbonate IV) is a white crystal solid and it is very soluble in water, Click here for more information.   A mixture of ammonium Carbonate and copper sulphate will undergo double decomposition to give ammonium sulphate and copper carbonate. Double decomposition is a type of reaction in which two soluble compounds react by the exchange of radicals to form one soluble compound and one insoluble compound. CuSO 4 + (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 ------- CuCO 3 + (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 Copper carbonate is a green powder and insoluble while ammonium sulphate is a whit...

The qualitative Analysis of Copper (II) chloride

   Copper (II) chloride is one of the compounds of copper which can dissolve in water. It is a good electrolyte and it is green in colour. The ions to be analyzed in this compound are copper ions and chloride ions. The methods of identifying copper ions have been discussed in our previous analysis that is in Qualitative analysis of unknown salt(copper (II) tetraoxosulphate VI) . In this topic, we will explain how to identify chloride gas and chloride ions. Chlorine is a member of group seven elements in the Periodic Table and has seven valence electrons. How to Test for Chloride ion and Chlorine gas To an unknown solution of the salt sample, add manganese (VI)oxide and concentrated tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid, if the gas evolved has greenish-yellow colour, with a pungent smell, it means that chlorine gas is likely to be the possible gas. To identify the gas carry out the following tests: ·        To the unknown gas given off from the unk...

How to Analylse the ions in Copper ( II) tetraoxosulphate VI)

  Copper   tetraoxosulphate VI is   a blue crystal solid if it contains water of crystallization(copper(II)tetraoxosulphate VI pentahydrate,CuSO 4 .5H 2 O). The anhydrous form is white. Copper(II)tetraoxosulphate VI is electrovalent compound and it is one of the soluble compounds of copper.         Tests for Copper(II) tetraoxosulphate VI In qualitative analysis of any compound or substance, the basic idea is to identify the ions in the compound. That means, one has to know the unique reactions of compound which contains any of the ions to be analyzed, for example all chlorides react with acidified silver trioxonitrate to form white precipitate which is soluble in ammonia solution.   In the case of copper (II)tetraoxosulphate VI, the two ions are copper ion,Cu 2+ and   tetraoxosulphate VI ion or radical,SO 4 2- .These two ions have some unique reactions which differentiate them from other ions. How to Test for Copper ion in an unknow...
