A peep into Chemical Laboratory Experiments

There many experiments taking place in the laboratory. Different techniques are used in chemical reactions, separations and analyses. Few of these experiments are highlighted below: Titration Redox reaction Paper Chromatography Reaction of metallic silver Crystallization induced by boiling Induced Crystallization Reaction of lead compound Dehydration of organic compound with sulphuric acid Reaction of tin A neodymium magnet falling through a copper pipe Flammable fluid in a glass jug Decomposition of Mercury (II) thiocyanate Copper reacting with nitric acid Electrolysis of water Electrophoresis Combustion of copper Reacting sodium polyacrylate with water Column Chromatography

The Revised EDC Proposal adopted by EU member States

EU Member States adopt revised EDC proposal in Brussels on 13th December 2017. It has been seen as a step in the right direction, though not enough. The EU Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCOPAFF) decided in favour of a revised European Commission proposal on identification criteria for endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).

Basic Organic Chemistry Infographics

Learning organic chemistry is interesting. There are rules guiding nomenclature of structures. The tetravalency of carbon. Also, the catenation of carbon. Likewise, the formation of bonds with heteroatoms.

A Track-like Map of Elements

A Track-like Map of Elements The design of the Periodic Table is getting more interesting. The Periodic Table which has an explanable regular pattern of all the Elements (natural and man-made) had its root in 1869 when Dmitri Mendeleev started its development. Today, the Periodic Table through innovations has been improved to add more colour to it and to accommodate the newly discovered elements. Interestingly, with the addition of four new elements, a new Periodic Table looking like a map of underground train track has been developed. The tracks itemise elements in the categories of their physical states of matter, chemical properties, radioactive and artificially discovered. Some elements feature in more than one category as shown with combined tracks in the map.
