Chemistry is a big part of your everyday life. You find chemistry in daily life in the foods you eat‚ the air you breathe‚ your soap‚ your emotions and literally every object you can see or touch. Here ’s a look at some everyday chemistry. Elements in the Human Body Steve Allen‚ Getty Images Your body is made up of chemical compounds‚ which are combinations of elements. While you probably know your body is mostly water‚ which is hydrogen and oxygen‚ can you name the other elements that make

Sustainable Chemistry Terry Collins* Chemistry has an important role to play in achieving a sustainable civilization on Earth. The present economy remains utterly dependent on a massive inward flow of natural resources that includes vast amounts of nonrenewables. This is followed by a reverse flow of economically spent matter back to the ecosphere. Chemical sustainability problems are determined largely by these economy-ecosphere materials flows (see the figure‚ below)‚ which current chemistry education

What is Chemistry? Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between them. This is also the definition for physics‚ by the way. Chemistry and physics are specializations of physical science. Chemistry tends to focus on the properties of substances and the interactions between different types of matter‚ particularly reactions that involve electrons. Physics tends to focus more on the nuclear part of the atom‚ as well as the subatomic realm. Really‚ they are two sides of the

take place inside food determine its nutritional value‚ taste‚ texture and freshness. Like any other organic material‚ food can decompose over a period of time. The importance of food chemistry lies in its ability to counter the effects of decomposition and spoilage and extend the shelf life of foods. Food chemistry is a science that studies the chemical processes that take place in food. All food products are made of biological materials that react and interact in different ways‚ and under different

Food Chemistry Journal From raw food to brand label grocery. Why Food Chemistry? I am passionate about food‚ I love discovering new food‚ experimenting with taste‚ play with colors and learn the benefits and why our body needs certain nutrients. Before coming to college I did 2 years of full healthy dishes and read all over internet and books new ways to introduce new nutrients to my diet. During this 2 years I lost weight but except for that I felt clean from the inside‚ more energetic and happier

Chemist 1: New product development This career role involves the development of new paints to meet changing market needs. The chemist would be working as a member of a team developing and testing new colloidal paints to suit specific purposes. This might include weatherproof paints‚ which retain their colour and are resistant to solar radiation‚ or indoor paints that can be easily and repeatedly washed. Chemist 2: Environmental monitoring This career role as a public servant could involve monitoring

Everything you need to know about hydrocarbons INTRODUCTION: organic chemistry Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen. The element carbon has a special role in chemistry because it bonds with other carbon atoms to give a vast array of molecules. The varity of molecules is so great that we find organic compounds in many common products we use‚ such as gasoline‚ medicines‚ shampoos‚ plastic bottles‚ and perfumes. The food we eat is composed of different
