Introduction High-density polyethylene would be a thermoplastic polymer. The monomer unit is ethylene. High-density polyethylene is also known as PEHD (Polyethylene High Density), polythene alkathene, and polythene. When a plastic substance has the Resin Identification Code (RIC-2) symbol, it is manufactured of HDPE. It is commonly abbreviated as RIC-2. Later, HDPE might have been recognized as an essential raw material within the manufacture of a wide range of products. It contributes to even more than 34 percent of the worldwide plastic industry.

Introduction The analysis of anions in a systematic manner has turned out to be an integral part of inorganic salts that are rich in their qualitative properties. The entire process of analysis serves either of the two objectives. They are two understand the quality and quantity of the anions present. Aim of the experiment The aim of this experiment is to find out the total number of radicals present in its anionic form. This type of radical is very common in the mixture constituting salts that have inorganic properties in them. Theory The systematic analysis ... Read More

Introduction Tellurium is very significant as well as more prevalent all over the universe compared to the earth. A material processes a flame with a greenish-blue colour if it is burned in the direct light of the sun. The appearance of this molecule is a little toxic and it is metalloid with silver-white colour. This molecule is brittle and closely related to sulphur as well as selenium. All these three elements are referred to as chalcogen. What is Tellurium”? Tellurium refers to a significant chemical molecule with the chemical identity of Te and the “atomic number” of this molecule ... Read More

Introduction Polytetrafluoroethylene commonly known as Teflon refers to a synthetic type of element made of “tetrafluoroethylene fluoropolymer”. It is mainly created by the “radical polymerisation” that is free of several molecules of tetrafluoroethylene. Polytetrafluoroethylene is called PTFE as the chemical term that has numerous benefits in the current situation to all types of industries. What is Teflon? Teflon refers to a name that has been widely used in the making of non-stick material, especially for the cookware set. This is mainly made with a particular chemical bond namely tetrafluoroethylene. It refers to a thermoplastic element of polymer and the chemical ... Read More

Tantalum was discovered by Anders G. Ekeberg (1802), and he discovered this metal in Uppsala, Sweden, in the minerals tantalite from Finland and yttrotantalite from Sweden. Later English chemist William Wollaston declined his discovery. Not only that, but he also claimed that it was another kind of material known as the niobium, in the year 1903; the tantalum was refined by other chemist named, Werner Von Bolton. What is Tantalum? The term Tantalum is derived from a Greek mythological character, named Tantalos, who was one of the villains. In 1903, Werner Von Bolton gave this name because it was ... Read More

Introduction Tannic acid is one type of tannin and these two terms are used “interchangeably”. A “tannic acid” is a form of "tannin" and "one type of polyphenol". It can be used in “the food industry and medical field”. It can cause damage to the "eye, skin and even to the respiratory system". Tannins are the basic ingredients for the “chemical staining of woods”. What is Tannic Acid? “Tannic acid” can be defined as a “type of polyphenol” and it is an “organic molecule”. The chemical formula that can represent tannic acid is “$\mathrm{C_{76}H_{52}O_{46}}$”. It can be referred to as ... Read More

Introduction Hexane has a molecular formula CH3 (CH2)4 CH3. The "hex" prefix alludes to its 6 carbons, and the "ane" ending denotes that single bonds have now linked the carbons. They are important components of gasoline. Although hexane isomers seem relatively non-polar, they can be widely used as an inert solvent in chemical reactions. These are often basic components of gasoline or even glues used during the production of shoes, leather goods, and roofing. It can be used in solvents to obtain oils for cooking and even as a cleaning agent in the footwear, furnishings, and textile industries. What is ... Read More
