When we talk about boiling, we refer to the method of heating food by boiling it at a certain temperature in order to destroy any enzymes present in it and also to boil away some of the nutrients present in it. Boiling originated from early days when people used fire to cook food but it …
The sudden transformation of water into gas is known as condensation. Condensation is mainly caused by the reduction of atmospheric pressure that results from the evaporation of water. When damp air is cold, it can reach a saturation point where its ability to hold liquid water vapour stops (Saturation Point = 75% relative humidity). The …
Most of the commonly used acids are monovalent (identical) acids that are used for dissolving certain materials. Usually acids can be grouped into three main categories. First one is polar acid, second is phosphoric acid, and the third one is citric acid. In most cases, the first two types of acids react differently with food …
The field of organic chemistry has recently undergone a large amount of change, especially with regard to certain nomenclature of organic compounds and further studies of chemical bonding. This recent development in the field of organic chemistry has received a great deal of media attention and criticism as well. While some people view this nomenclature …
Electrostatic charge is one of the two types of electrochemical reactions, which are usually performed between two charged poles of a molecule. It is also known as electrochemical effect of electronic displacements. The other type is the effect of electron flow, which is also known as conductivity, and is the one responsible for the conductivity …

One of the most exciting chemical reactions in chemistry is the reaction between alkynes and phosphorous derivatives. This occurs when a molecule containing either an alkaline or an acidic molecule comes into contact with a molecule containing a phosphorous. The alkaline molecule will donate an electron to the phosphorus and in turn cause the phosphorous …
Well-known soils in India are clay and sand soils with varied porosity and varying degrees of permeability. The sandy soils in India have a low permeability and good water holding capacity, while the clay soils are porous and retain moisture well. These two soils can be differentiated on the basis of their porosity and permeability. …
Chemical reactions and equations are the production of molecules from simpler compounds. In a chemical reaction, reacting agents are chemicals that are in physical contact with each other and will react, usually with the help of energy, to form new compounds. Reactions take place in chemical compounds with various compositions. These new compounds are then …

General properties of acids and bases and their effects on other substances are among the important information you should know about them. Generally, we need them in our lives to neutralize other chemicals like acids and bases. For example, when eating fruits and vegetables, you may encounter fruits with a bitter taste and vegetables with …

In chemistry, a mineral is an ion that possesses a positive charge, ionized by an alkaline earth ion or an acidic earth ion for example, to give up electrons to join with another mineral. The properties of metal and non metal are the same. But in chemistry terms, metal is negatively charged and non metal …
