Introduction Ferrous sulphate or Iron (II) sulphate is the salt of the metal Iron and has a chemical formula FeSO4. Its main use is for the treatment of patients suffering from anaemia, Iron deficiency. The reactions of iron with sulphuric acid result in the formation of some salt. Further studies identified the two salts that had been formed by the reaction. The salt formed is ferrous sulphate and ferric sulphate. The appearance of ferrous sulphate is in a way that it has a greenish appearance, so it is named green vitriol. Both these salts have several industrial applications. Even though ... Read More

Introduction Hydrazine (N2 H4) is a potent reducing agent & one of a class of chemicals known as hydronitrogens. It's utilized to create pesticides, as a basis for blowing agents that produce holes in foam rubber, & as corrosion protection in boilers. Hydrazine is a colourless fluid with a strong ammonia odour. In 1887, hydrazine was extracted from organic molecules for the first time. The Raschig technique, which includes oxidizing NH3 with sodium hypochlorite in the vicinity of glue or gelatin, is the most frequent technique of manufacture.

Introduction Organometallic reagent called the Grignard reagent was created by French Scientist Victor Grignard. The symbol for it is RMgX. R stands for the alkyl group-containing molecule of carbon, which makes it an organic component, while Mg stands for magnesium which is metal. In the illustration, the X is a halide. It is alkyl magnesium halide as a result. While the link between Mg & X is ionic, the organometallic link is covalent. Ethyl magnesium Bromide & Phenylmagnesium Bromide are two instances of Grignard reagents. Extremely reactive is the Grignard reagent. This happens when magnesium's electron pair is transferred to ...
