Introduction The symbol for an element is a single letter or two-letter abbreviation of the element’s full name. These symbols are helpful when writing out lengthy chemical equations that need the usage of shortened forms of complexes and elements. The number of electrons (\({e^ – }\)) and protons (\({p^ – }\)) in an atom can […]
Introduction Under the right circumstances, fire can be a very helpful chemical reaction. It’s useful in a lot of situations, but it can be dangerous if it’s burned improperly. The portable gadget known as a fire extinguisher is used to put out fires of any size. People depend on fire for a wide variety of […]
Introduction Organic reactions discovered by a specific scientist are known as “named reactions,” and the namesake scientist is often credited with the discovery. Many of these reactions have important practical and economic applications. One such reaction with a name in organic chemistry is the Finkelstein reaction. Hans Finkelstein, a German chemist, first described what is […]
Introduction To separate solids from liquids or gases, chemists employ filtration, which often involves using filter paper or a specialised filtration device. You’ll need a filter to let the liquid through but keep the solids out. The liquid that is recovered after filtration is called filtrate. Due to their inability to pass through the filter’s […]
Introduction Limestones are a natural source of calcium sulphate. Calcium sulphate is an inorganic compound consisting of \(CaS{O_4}\) and similar hydrates. In the form of anhydrite, it is currently commonly used as a desiccant. Plaster of Paris is a specific hydrate, and the existence of all the others is attributable to the presence of the […]
Introduction The discovery of calcium phosphate in bone tissue for the first time in 1769 marks the beginning of calcium phosphate’s usage in medicine. Calcium phosphates have played a key role in the field of bone tissue engineering. Calcium phosphate, the calcium salt of phosphoric acid, has several applications. Calcium phosphate inhibits the ability of […]
Introduction CaO is the chemical formula for calcium oxide, which is a chemical compound. “Quicklime” is another name for this substance. In its cubic crystal lattice form, this chemical is extremely stable. As a result, its melting point is high, and it resists heat treatments quite well. Calcium carbonate ores are the primary raw material […]
Introduction Evaporation is the transformation of liquid into a gaseous state. The simple process of water evaporating from the soil in response to the sun’s heating influence can help us grasp the concept of evaporation. By contrast, “boiling” refers to bringing a liquid to a temperature above its boiling point. There is a significant difference […]
Introduction Alcohol is a common chemical compound. One or more hydroxyl groups (OH) attached to the carbonyl (C) atom of an alkyl group define an organic compound. Ethanol and methanol are the most prevalent types of alcohol, although there are many others. Different kinds of alcohol have different purposes. Although they share the alcohol family […]
