Introduction The processes of metallurgy are focused on the production of metals, because these are not found in isolated state on the earth. However, the metals are found in crude materials with a combination of impurities and minerals. Therefore, several kind of processing techniques are essential to extract the metals. Metallurgy also includes the blending of different metals in a specific ratio for making metallic alloys. Defining the process of Metallurgy Metallurgy is defined as the process is used for extraction of metals from their crude state found on the earth. However, Metallurgy results in extraction of metal in its ... Read More

Introduction The shift in the state of equilibrium is noticed when, the system is disturbed. However, the experiment for the Shift in Equilibrium is conducted in the laboratory under controlled conditions. Le Chatelier's Principle states the concepts of shifting of equilibrium, is associated with equilibrium constant. The shift of equilibrium in the reaction is quite effective on the state of equilibrium. The shifting of reaction direction can be predicted accordingly. Le Chatelier's principle In a chemical reaction, the state of chemical equilibrium can be changed by making a change in the reaction conditions. The shift in the state of equilibrium ... Read More
