Introduction Sulfurous acid is highly “toxic, corrosive, and non-combustible” in nature that affects human health if inhaled in an excess amount. The individual can lead to death if the acid encounters their skin, or if it is “inhaled or ingested” in a higher amount. It can cause severe skin burns and affect vision if gets into the eyes. Sulfurous acid also liberates “irritating, corrosive, and toxic gases”. What is Sulfurous Acid? Sulfurous acid is determined as an “unstable and weak acid” that is derived when “sulphur dioxide” are dissolved in water. The formula of Sulfurous acid can be written as ... Read More

Introduction “Sulfur Trioxide” is also presented by “$\mathrm{SO_{3}}$" which is mainly a chemical compound and presents various kinds of modifications. It is mainly available as molecules or crystals in its chemical form. It has no colour as a liquid and vaporises in air, only under certain conditions. It is mainly known for its strong oxidising powers and highly reactive nature. According to thermodynamics, it is unstable, as it can cause a fire. What is “Sulfur Trioxide”? Figure 1 − Structure of Sulfur Trioxide “Sulfur Trioxide” or “$\mathrm{SO_{3}}$” is mainly manufactured in large amounts owing to its similar nature to ... Read More

Introduction “Sulfur hexafluoride” is a very powerful greenhouse gas that has been discovered by scientists. The precedence of expression of “sulfur hexafluoride” is professional. This inorganic gaseous agent remains in the extreme lower part of the “atmosphere”, because “sulfur hexafluoride” is such a thick gas. This gas is also known as the “most stable gas” among other gases. This gaseous agent holds “six fluorine atoms bound with one sulfur atom”. It is an “inorganic gaseous agent” with useful “imaging-based potential activity”. What is Sulfur Hexafluoride? “Sulfur hexafluoride” forms its bound with “six fluorine atoms and one sulfur atom”. The composition ... Read More

Introduction Sugar Alcohol is broadly used in the food industry. It is used as the main product for making candies and sweets these days, due to sugar being proven to have harmful effects on health. These are normally extracted from sugar. Children tend to love sweet dishes more than anything, but they always have problems with health and tooth decay, which is very common in kids. What is Sugar Alcohol? Sugar Alcohols are made from carbohydrates, which are soluble in nature and taste sweet and get dissolved easily. It appears to be white and is a solid soluble compound. Generally, ... Read More

Introduction Sucrose is made up of carbohydrates, which can be found naturally in fruits and vegetables. It is an important part of a plant during the process of photosynthesis. Sucrose occurs naturally so it has many commercial uses also. Beet sugar processing is done in a continuous process without the stage of raw sugar. The sugar beet is processed in hot water to extract the sugar from the fibre of the beet. What is Sucrose? Sucrose is known as glycosyl and glycoside formed by glucose. It has the function of osmolyte, which is a sweetening agent. Sucrose is found naturally ... Read More

Introduction Substitution Reaction is described as a chemical element's functional group, which is being replaced by another group. An atom or a molecule can be substituted by an extra atom or molecule in this type of reaction. The reaction works when two or more elements are connected in a definite situation. The chemical and physical properties of the element alter because of this reaction. The bonding of chemical changes for this reaction, it also affects molecules and atoms of the element.

39 Views

Introduction Benzene is an aromatic compound and it has a sweet-smelling odour. It has six C-C bonds. Among these, three C-C bonds are 135 pm length double bonds and another three C-C bonds are 147 pm length single bonds. The shorter C-C distance is for the delocalisation of electrons that is similarly distributed among the carbon atoms. Substituting different functional groups like ketone, alcohol or aldehyde with hydrogen can create different compounds. What is Benzene? Benzene is an organic compound, which has six hydrogen atoms and six carbon atoms linked together in a planar ring structure. Due to the cyclic ... Read More

Introduction Radioactive pollution is produced from the environmental radioactive waste that already exists. The inappropriate disposal of radioactive wastes may be to blame for numerous life-threatening scenarios that exist in the environment. Its negative impacts on people, animals, as well as the environment are widespread. Large reprocessing facilities with a 5000-ton annual capacity may be found in nations like France, Russia, & the UK. India, a growing nation, is looking at safe ways to dispose of trash that may be dumped into the ground or a river. To lessen the impact that radioactive materials have on the environment, the government must take ... Read More

Introduction Element is a chemical species that contains only one type of atom, and they have characteristics, physical and chemical properties. Elements are also discovered by human beings by extracting them from the earth and by artificial synthesis. Dysprosium is also one such element with characteristic properties like other elements. Dysprosium was discovered by Paul-Émile Lecoq in 1886. The name d ysprosium is derived from the word 'dysprositos', a Greek word that means rare. Pure Dysprosium was obtained after the discovery of ion-exchange chromatography by Frank Spedding in 1950. And now the extraction of such rare earth elements is done ... Read More
