Chemical aspects behind the energy we are using.

Either we are talking about sustaining Human body or sustaining Human Civilization ,  energy has been an utmost important factor for Human Kind. For sustaining Human Body we eat food that further gives us energy via going through several biochemical processes inside the body .The same thing is true for other animals ,the only difference is the nature of food and the nature of biochemical processes. Now for sustaining Human Civilization we have been developing several energy resources like thermal or coal energy, wind energy , tidal energy , nuclear energy , solar energy etc. Have you ever thought that how Chemistry plays a very significant role in energy conversions ? Although several physical manipulations need to be done in the inter conversion of the later form of energy but ultimately which element is going to be selected for manufacturing the equipments or machines involves in these conversions and what makes it workable is surely devoted towards the  hid

Acids and Bases ( Keeping Us Alive )

Till what extent you know ? Acids and bases have been a wide range of chemicals over which several researches were done and still going on. We started our study from the basic Arrhenius concept in which he told that acids are proton (  H+  ion)  donor and bases are donating  OH-  ion  then further modifications were done by Bronsted and Lowry where H+ donors are called acids and those who accept H+ are called bases and then by Lewis where on the basis of accepting or donating lone pair of electrons, the species are named Lewis Acids and Lewis Bases respectively. In all these researches, we got to know a different perspective of these Acids and Bases. We developed a pH Scale over which the acidity of acids and basicity of the bases can be meaure out on the basis of their strength of donating or accepting protons. These are the basic things that most of us are aware of. But how these protons or lone pair donation got benefited us ? Whenever a research is done

Tomatoes Vs Chocolates

How they both are helpful to us ? Whenever we heard about Tomatoes , it is something that we use in almost every veggies that we eat. But Are we using it for just boosting up the flavors of our dishes ?                                                        OR Is there something else for which we eat it?                                               Tomatoes are always been a great source of several nutrients like Ascorbic acid,proteins,carbohydrates,fibres etc. Among all these vital composition ,one of the vital molecule for which tomatoes are widely used is an Antioxidant   called   Lycopene . Actually  Antioxidan t  is one of the major vital molecule that our body needs to remain unaffected from any cardiovascular diseases. Lycopene  is an antioxidant and tomatoes are one of the major source of it.This antioxidant prevents us from several heart diseases and Cancers like Prostrate Cancer and Breast Cancer.                

Water (More Than Quenching The Thirst)

Here in this article you are going to encounter with the hidden corners of the most vital substance of the earth. Yes, you have guessed it right. So presence of water on earth is highly appreciated, but what needs to appreciate more than that, is something that you will get to know below. Let's start with its vital nature and the things that you know-                                                                                                           At the first sight, water doesn't seem to be something that needs to be taken with care and it is genuine, as since long ago, we have been hearing that we have an abundance of water on our planet. Among 8 Billion of us, there might be very few who actually aware about the fact that of 70% , only 2.5% of water is there which is fresh and can be used for drinking purposes. Now the dilemma is that the way we are using it (should be called as exploiting it) indicating that even those 2.5% will not be
