ESTERS
Esters are chemical compounds consisting of a carbonyl adjacent to an ether linkage. They are derived by reacting an oxoacid with a hydroxyl compound such as analcohol or phenol. Esters are usually derived from an inorganic acid or organic acid in which at least one -OH (hydroxyl) group is replaced by an -O-alkyl (alkoxy) group, and most commonly from carboxylic acids and alcohols. That is, esters are formed by condensing an acid with an...
NATURAL RUBBER
Natural rubber, also called India rubber or caoutchouc, as initially produced, consists of suitable polymers of the organic compound isoprene with minor impurities of other organic compounds plus water. Forms of polyisoprene that are useful as natural rubbers are classified as elastomers. Currently the rubber is harvested mainly in the form of the latex from certain trees. The latex is a sticky, milky colloid drawn off by making incisions into...
How To Become Excellent Student?
Steps
1
Like all exceptionally great students, you must pay attention! When a teacher is giving a lesson, take notes and if you don't understand something, raise your hand and ask questions. The more questions you ask, the smarter you'll get, believe it or not. By passing notes and talking to friends, you won't learn anything, so pay close attention!

FATS AND OILS
Fats consist of a wide group of compounds that are generally soluble in organic solvents and generally insoluble in water. Chemically, fats are triglycerides,triesters of glycerol and any of several fatty acids. Fats may be either solid or liquid at room temperature, depending on their structure and composition. Although the words "oils", "fats", and "lipids" are all used to refer to fats, in reality, fat is a subset of lipid. "Oils" is usually...
DOES OIL COMES FROM DINOSOURS?
By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D.,
The notion that petroleum or crude oil comes from dinosaurs is
fiction. Surprised? Oil formed from the remains of marine plants and
animals that lived millions of years ago, even before the dinosaurs. The
tiny organisms fell to the bottom of the sea. Bacterial decomposition
of the plants and animals removed most of the oxygen, nitrogen,...

Application of Carbon in Industries
There are so many uses of carbon in industries. We can conclude that, carbon are very important to our industries. Here, we attached some application of carbon.

Application of Carbon In Daily Life
There are so many thing that applied carbon in our daily life. The most closure to us is pencil. Carbon is used in pencil lead.
If you are wearing a diamond ring that is also carbon.
Also graphite powder is used as a lubricant.
Carbon as a semiconducting material is used in electrical resistors, and spark plug wires. Carbon is added (in specific quantities) to steel to give it a desired hardness.
Carbon is used as a base for the ink...

10 CARBON FACTS
Carbon - The Chemical Basis for Life
By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D.,
1. Carbon is the basis for organic chemistry, as it occurs in all living organisms.
2. Carbon is a nonmetal that can bond with itself and many other chemical elements, forming nearly ten million compounds.
3. Elemental carbon can take the form of one of the hardest substances (diamond) or one of the softest (graphite).
4....
CARBOXYLIC ACIDS
1. Carboxylic acids are organic compounds which form an homologous series with the general
formula of CnH2n+1COOH.
2. Carboxylic acids are compounds which contain a -COOH functional group.
3. Carboxylic acids are weak acid which ionize partially in water to produce lower concentration of
hydrogen ions compare to strong acid. Ethanoic acid turns moist blue litmus paper red.
