ACIDS,BASES and SALTS

INTRODUCTION  The fundamental concept in chemistry which plays an important role in different biological, industrial and environmental processes is of Acids,Bases and Salts. These substances are very abundant as they can be found everywhere around us in our daily lives from the food we eat to the products we use. It is essential to understand the properties,reaction0s, applications of acids,bases and salts for appreciating their complex reactions and their impact on our world. They are used in several applications such as food preservation, pharmaceuticals and industrial manufacturing. Moreover all three of them play an important role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems by regulating the pH of the environment.  These three substances show unique chemical properties and undergo specific chemical reactions which are essential for their applications. In industrial fields like those of food,pharmaceuticals and manufacturing they have several applications and they ...

The Intriguing World of Organic Chemistry

INTRODUCTION  The branch of chemistry which deals with the study of carbon-containing compounds is known as organic chemistry. These compounds can be found in all living organisms and are considered as building blocks of life. It is a very vast and diverse field which encompasses the study of the structure,properties and reactions of the organic compounds. Carbon is an unique element and known to be an ideal element for forming the complex molecules necessary for life. It is considered ideal because of its ability to form long chains and complex rings, as well as bond with other elements like hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen and sulfur.  The compounds of carbon forms the basis of organic chemistry. These field of organic chemistry is broad which includes the following subfields: •Natural products Chemistry:   It is the study of organic compounds which are found in nature such as sugars,alkaloids and amino acids. •Synthetic Organic Chemistry :  It...
