Everything in this world eventually decomposes. In living organisms, decomposition is simply the breaking down of dead, organic matter. In chemistry terms, it is when a single compound breaks down into at least two simpler products.From the rotting of organic matter to the industrial breakdown of chemicals, decomposition is an essential phenomenon that impacts everything from ecosystems to everyday...
If you've ever wondered about the tiny particles that make up our world and how they interact, you've likely encountered the terms "anions" and "cations." These two are the stars of the chemistry world, vital for everything from the food we eat to the technologies we use every day.To truly grasp their significance, we’ll explore the fascinating world of...
Chlorine is typically used either as a solution or as a part of a compound like sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). As a strong oxidising agent, it’s very useful as a disinfectant even at very dilute concentrations. For instance, it’s commonly used as a swimming pool disinfectant at a concentration range of between 1.0 and 3.0 parts per million (ppm).Chlorine is...
The Haber-Bosch process is a fascinating scientific breakthrough that has shaped modern society in ways you might not expect. Invented in the early 20th century, this method allows us to produce ammonia, a chemical essential for everything from fertilisers to household cleaners, by using nitrogen extracted from the atmosphere. This process’ impact extends far beyond the lab, influencing agriculture, manufacturing,...
The term “chemical energy” can bring many things to mind, but the main question is what is it? Well, chemical energy is what allows our bodies to keep functioning, electricity to be produced, and so on. In more basic terms, we, along with every living thing on this planet, need chemical energy to survive. Chemical energy is a potential energy...
Overview of Household Chemicals and Their Importance There’s no question that chemicals play a vital role in every home around the world. Whether it’s the myriad of cleaning products used to keep things clean and sanitary, or the things we use when baking to give our cakes all the lift they need, these compounds help people in everyday life on...
Introduction to Chemical Composition Understanding chemical composition is fundamental to many fields of science and engineering, as knowing the chemical composition allows us to predict how substances will interact with each other, which is vital in creating new materials, medicines, and countless other applications.But what is it? Well, chemical composition is the arrangement, ratio and type of atoms in the...
A chemical precursor is a reactant that precedes your desired chemical reaction. It serves as the starting point for the chemical products derived from it. The term precursor also specifically refers to a chemical compound that precedes a metabolic pathway in biochemistry, such as proinsulin, which is a protein precursor of the hormone insulin. Similarly, many coenzymes necessary to various...
