Introduction The -OH bond is present in the functional group of alcohols and phenols. Carbonyl compounds are another type of organic chemical that contain the C=O group. More than one class of chemical compounds has this cluster. Carbonyl compounds, which include aldehydes and ketones, are a class of organic molecules distinguished by the presence of […]
Introduction Alcohols and phenols are formed by replacing one old hydrogen atom in the hydrocarbon. In the case of alcohols, the -OH is known as the hydroxyl group, while it is called the phenolic group. It is attached to a benzene ring. Since they have a common functional group, most of the characteristics of alcohols […]
Introduction A battery is an electronic device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy through a redox reaction. They are typically composed of a combination of cells, with cells being the fundamental unit of batteries. Energy is stored in these cells and drawn as current and thus, the output of any battery depends on the […]
Introduction Protein, DNA, and RNA can all be separated from one another using an external electric field and this laboratory technique. As the gel or matrix employed includes a given size and enables just a particular molecule, the separation of molecules occurs on the basis of charge and size. Only very small particles, such as […]
Introduction In the lab, chromatography is used to dissect complex mixtures into their constituent parts. The process of separating the components of a mixture is known as chromatography. In order to accomplish this, a mobile phase and a stationary phase are utilised. Since various components in a mixture are subject to varying degrees of influence […]
Introduction Antonin Prandtl invented the first centrifuge in order to industrially separate milk and cream. Later in 1869, a Swiss researcher and physician named Meischer used centrifugation to separate DNA from the chromosomes in white blood cells. The field of genetics advanced significantly as a result of his work. Thanks to the work of many […]
Introduction When it comes to preventing and solving crimes, forensic science is invaluable. It’s utilized as evidence in court to help determine a defendant’s guilt or innocence and to help identify potential perpetrators. From the time the first fingerprint was used to identify a suspect in a murder in the 19th century, forensic science has […]
Introduction Colloids are a type of mixture in which one material is broken down into tiny particles (known colloidal particles) and spread throughout another. The particles are larger than those found in the solution, yet they are too small to be seen using a microscope. There are no precise size limits for colloidal particles, however, […]
Introduction The term “food chemistry” is used to describe the study of the chemical reactions that take place in the preparation and consumption of food. The composition and functional qualities of foods and food products at different stages are the primary areas of study. While food supplies important elements such proteins, carbs, fats, vitamins, lipids, […]
