Introduction Carbon Disulfide (CS2) is predominantly manufactured in factories because this gas is not found within nature in an abundant quantity to produce several products that include rubber, rayon, and many others. However, it is essential to know whether this element is highly toxic and flammable in nature; therefore, precautionary measures are taken in factories while working. What is Carbon Disulfide? Carbon Disulfide is referred to as a compound of organosulphur that is a colourless liquid. However, this element in organic chemistry is also known as methanedithione. This is a solvent for bromine, phosphorous, iodine, resins and many others. ... Read More

Introduction Chlorine can be called a chemical element containing the atomic number 17. It belongs to group 17 in the periodic table. It is presented through the symbol Cl2 and it has the electronic configuration $\mathrm{1s^{2}\:2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{5}\:(or\:[Ne]^{10}3s^{2}3p^{5})}$. This element has various uses in the industries and in different household works. It can be converted into liquid form by pressurizing it. What is Chlorine? The chemical element Cl2 is the second lightest member of the halogen elements. It belongs to Group 17 (Group VIIa) of the periodic table. It is a corrosive, toxic, greenish-yellow gas. It is irritating to the ... Read More

Introduction Johann Rudolf Glauber, a German scientist, made the initial discovery of KMnO4 synthesis in 1659. This chemical is soluble in water and is dreamed up of potassium and permanganate ions. In its physical condition, it is a dark purple and odourless solid. It is often referred to as Permanganate of Potash or Condy's crystals. As a potent oxidizing agent, dermatitis medicine wound cleaner, and general disinfectant, potassium permanganate is frequently employed in the chemical process industries and laboratories. What is Potassium Permanganate? An inorganic substance with the scientific formula KMnO4 is potassium permanganate. It is a crystalline salt ... Read More

Introduction Tartaric acid is a common organic acid that is mostly in citrus fruits. This acid found to be white in colour and it occurs in crystalline form. This acid is combined with sodium bicarbonate and is utilised as baking powder. It is useful as a leavening agent for the preparation of food. What is tartaric acid? Tartaric acid is an organic compound that is di-carboxylic in structure. The molecular formula of this compound is C4H4O6. It is also acknowledged as racemic acid. This compound has two distinct stereo centres. The IUPAC name of this chemical compound is 2, 3-dihydroxybutanedioic ... Read More

Introduction Sulphur dioxide is practically a very dull gas however, it releases a very strong and pungent odour. This is highly toxic to breathe. This gas has several definitive characteristic traits, like, as this can naturally occur in a colourless form and can readily mix into water. This gas can be prepared in laboratories as well. What is sulphur dioxide? Sulphur dioxide is also acknowledged as sulphurous anhydrate or sulphur (IV) oxide. This chemical compound has been utilised by humans for various usages across history. In the early days, Romans used this gas in the preparation of wine. This is ... Read More

Introduction “Sulfur Trioxide” is also presented by “$\mathrm{SO_{3}}$" which is mainly a chemical compound and presents various kinds of modifications. It is mainly available as molecules or crystals in its chemical form. It has no colour as a liquid and vaporises in air, only under certain conditions. It is mainly known for its strong oxidising powers and highly reactive nature. According to thermodynamics, it is unstable, as it can cause a fire. What is “Sulfur Trioxide”? Figure 1 − Structure of Sulfur Trioxide “Sulfur Trioxide” or “$\mathrm{SO_{3}}$” is mainly manufactured in large amounts owing to its similar nature to ... Read More

Introduction “Sulfur hexafluoride” is a very powerful greenhouse gas that has been discovered by scientists. The precedence of expression of “sulfur hexafluoride” is professional. This inorganic gaseous agent remains in the extreme lower part of the “atmosphere”, because “sulfur hexafluoride” is such a thick gas. This gas is also known as the “most stable gas” among other gases. This gaseous agent holds “six fluorine atoms bound with one sulfur atom”. It is an “inorganic gaseous agent” with useful “imaging-based potential activity”. What is Sulfur Hexafluoride? “Sulfur hexafluoride” forms its bound with “six fluorine atoms and one sulfur atom”. The composition ... Read More

Introduction Sucrose is made up of carbohydrates, which can be found naturally in fruits and vegetables. It is an important part of a plant during the process of photosynthesis. Sucrose occurs naturally so it has many commercial uses also. Beet sugar processing is done in a continuous process without the stage of raw sugar. The sugar beet is processed in hot water to extract the sugar from the fibre of the beet. What is Sucrose? Sucrose is known as glycosyl and glycoside formed by glucose. It has the function of osmolyte, which is a sweetening agent. Sucrose is found naturally ... Read More

Introduction An oxidising agent that easily produces oxides with most elements and other compounds, oxygen is a member of the chalcogen group of the periodic table and a highly reactive nonmetal. Following hydrogen and helium in the order of abundance in the universe, oxygen is the element that is most plentiful on Earth. Currently, 20.95% of the atmosphere on Earth is made up of diatomic oxygen gas. Nearly half of the Earth's crust is composed of oxides, which are oxygen compounds. Oxygen is the chemical substance with the atomic number 8 and the letter 𝑂 in its name. ... Read More

Introduction Methanol, as well as ethanol, are both alcohols, yet they serve completely distinct purposes. To avoid harm, it is important to conduct considerable study while deciding which alcohol to use. Methanol is a kind of alcohol that is used to make gasoline, and solvents, including antifreeze. In contrast, ethanol is a fundamental element in alcoholic drinks. Whenever it comes to price, environmental effect, or hazards, each alcohol has benefits but also downsides. Among the most frequent chemical molecules is alcohol. Any organic molecule is classified by 1 or more hydroxyl groups (𝑂𝐻) that are normally connected to the 𝐶-atom ... Read More
