Alive Chemicals

Although there are several varieties of spices which we use to make the dishes tasty, color blossom, and several other ingredients are used to garnish them and make them look delicious. Whenever you prepare a dish, there might be some ingredient which is not available right next to you, so you just try to use some sort of substitute, keeping assured one thing that the final dish would not be compromised in taste at all! But how would it taste, if salt is not present in them? Exactly! Your weird expression upon imagining such thing reveals that how important salt is for such delicious dishes.  It means one thing is very clear that although you can compromise with other ingredients, but compromising with salt is something that is not approved by any single being in this whole world. Being so important ingredient, an estimation says that around 30 Million Metric Tonnes of edible salt are produced worldwide annually ! Although there are around 10-12 edible sal...

What makes you laugh ? The greatest sign of being happy is laughing, which you see on a person's face. Although the reason can be different like one use to laugh at a joke other may be at different one, but overall, we all have perceived the feeling of joy several times in our life.

Laughing Gas - The name itself reveals the most dominant effect of this chemical i.e, when you get exposed to it , you would laugh irrespective of your mood! So why this chemical makes you laugh, what is the chemistry behind this, what is actually going through your brain, can this be effici...

Hydrochloric Acid - It's pretty sure that you get exhausted while dealing with the casual physical and chemical properties of the chemicals. So here you will get encountered with the usual chemicals in unusual ways that you kept dealing with ! We have a large no. of mineral acids which are used in the production of a large variety of chemicals that has a very beneficial roles in several kind of industries.   Actually these acids are very strong and corrosive in nature and at certain dilution they are used for several purposes like - Sulfuric acid is mainly used in the production of other mineral acids as well as used in producing chemicals like synthetic detergents, dyes, pigments, several varieties of drugs etc. Nitric acid is used to manufacture Ammonium Nitrate which is further used in making  fertilizers. It is also used in the production of explosive chemicals like Nitroglycerin and TNT.  Hydrochloric acid is mainly used in batt...

Nitric Acid - In case of inorganic chemistry, nitrogen is counted among those elements which has given the world, one of the most strong acid and i.e, Nitric acid. Nitric acid has several other names like Aqua Fortis, spirit of niter, hydrogen nitrate etc. and some has significant reason like written below - Aqua Fortis - Nitric acid is also called aqua fortis because this is a latin word which means strong water . Actually decontaminated Nitric acid looks like water but it is capable in dissolving the metals like silver. The thing to be noted is that nitric acid is even capable in dissolving hard metals like iron, chromium, aluminium into it but when we get concentrated nitric acid for this purpose then rather making them dissolved, it started forming metal-oxides over the surface of these metals. Nitric acid formula and structure - HNO3 is the formula for nitric acid and hence it is also called hydrogen nitrate. The charge shown on nitrogen...

                              The very first element of the periodic table that was in a dilemma that whether it should be placed with metals or with  non-metals. Actually some of the properties of the hydrogen gas resembles with metals like - Its cationic form ( H+) ion is more stable than its anionic form (H-) even though H- obeys octet rule i.e, just like metals it always ready to donate its electron. Just like metals of group 1 and 2 , it also form several stable compounds with Chalcogens and halogens family like  HCl, HBr, H20, H2S - they all are very popularly known compounds. It also resembles with alkali metals in valence shell electronic configuration (ns1). On other side its several properties resembles with the non- metals like - As chalcogens form compounds with alkali metals (eg- NaCl, KBr etc), hydrogen also do so like NaH, KH etc. Although H+ is more stable than H- ...

The basic definition of food that we got to know over the period of time is that food is something that works as a fuel for the machine called body . Now as different machines require different kind of fuel to perform better, the same thing is true for animals also. Like flesh is the best food for Lion , grass for deer, cow, goat etc. and a mixed combination of these two for humans. So how this food type is different in case of humans as compared to the other animals?       There can be two basic ways in which human's food type is different from the other animals- The first way is that the Humans are the only being who can choose to eat food on the basis of their taste and can change it whenever they want! The another reason which comes in existence due to the most complex biological system is that this complexity in biological system doesn't allow the humans to be physically fit just from a single variety of food. And here a term takes birt...
