Introduction In early times sunlight was used for the bleaching of substances. Charles Tennant in the year 1799 introduced a solid combination of chlorine and slaked lime. This is the major contributor to the production of a bleaching powder in bulk. Now it is available in many commercial products, and it is used for the bleaching of water that is to remove germs present in water. And in some chemical industries, it is used as an oxidizing agent. Sodium Hydroxide or caustic soda is also an important inorganic chemical compound that is found in many commercial products such as soap, ... Read More

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

Introduction Principle of Spectroscopy is how the spectra can absorb UV light. The absorption of light refers to a vital chapter in chemistry. Absorption of ultraviolet radiation results in an excitation of the electrons available in the substances. About Spectrophotometer A spectrophotometer refers to a scientific instrument is primarily utilised for the analysis of electromagnetic radiation from the light to the sample and about its absorption wavelength. The absorption is measurement using the spectral components. The spectrophotometer is used to measure molecular spectroscopy. In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of wavelength or particles. ... Read More
