What Chemicals Can Be Found in Milk?

There are a lot more chemicals in milk than you might expect. As a naturally-occuring baby and infant food for mammals, it’s rich in protein, fats, lactose, vitamins, and minerals that are essential for growth and development. Even in adulthood and old age, milk is still an important substance in our diet.A Complete List of Chemicals in MilkThe exact...

What Chemicals Can Be Found in Cheese?

Although you may not think it, there are a number of chemicals found in cheese, including lactose and whey protein.Aside from a few food additives, the chemicals found in cheese can also be found in milk, but with different compound forms and molecular structures. The modern process of cheesemaking remains fundamentally the same as the methods used for thousands...

Important Chemistry Lab Equipment

Chemistry laboratories can only function well if they have the right equipment based on the intended purpose of that particular laboratory. Most chemistry labs in schools, for example, are purely used for instructional purposes. Meanwhile, specialised workplace chemistry labs, like forensic laboratories, may have specialised equipment not found in other labs. At ReAgent, we have a QC lab where we...

Common Measurements Used in Chemistry

Science relies on measurements that are both precise and accurate. This is especially important in chemistry where chemical reactions need to be as controlled as possible to get accurate results. To achieve this, scientists have devised a set of standard measurements that are internationally valid called the SI, or Système International, which is based on the metric system.Chemistry uses SI...

What Chemicals Are In Fizzy Drinks?

Fizzy drinks are sweet, bubbly beverages that contain chemicals such as phosphoric acid, along with carbon dioxide and various additives, artificial colours, and flavours.The carbonated water in fizzy drinks (made when carbon dioxide and water react) is responsible for the beverage’s characteristic bubbles. As the dissolved carbon dioxide evaporates when the pressure is released, bubbles are formed. The bubbles...

What are the Main Types of Chemical Bonds?

The three main types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds. The type of bond determines the structure, stability, and properties of a substance.Chemical bonds can affect the stability of a compound; those with weak chemical bonds are usually less stable. Bonds also dictate the type of reactions that a substance can undergo, as well...

What Are The Highest Paid Jobs In Chemistry?

With the right experience, chemistry can be a lucrative job choice. This article identifies some of the highest paid jobs in this industry, as well as the skills needed to secure them, and the steps you can take to start your career in chemistry.  Careers for Chemistry Graduates Chemistry graduates have a wide range of career options, both in the public...

What Is Reduction In Chemistry?

Reduction is defined as the transfer of electrons between different chemical species as part of a chemical reaction. The species that receives the electrons is ‘reduced’ because of the decrease in the oxidation state of the element or group of atoms involved. The chemical species (element or group of atoms) that donates the electrons is oxidised in the process. A...
