USE OF CHEMICALS IN DAILY LIFE
Chemistry is a
science related to everyday life or natural phenomena, because starting from
the affairs of food and clothing, fuel, medicine to building construction
materials, electronic industry materials and products involving chemistry
chemistry. What distinguishes chemistry from other sciences is that chemistry
specializes in the structure, structure, properties and changes of matter, and
the energy that accompanies material change.Chemistry has an important position and is required by
other fields of science. Some of the real benefits that it is the benefits of
chemistry in human life are not even so realized. Here are some of the benefits
of chemistry in human life that can not be replaced by other science.
1 .In Agriculture
For example when plants need water and fertile soil. But in the field of modern agriculture, has been using fertilizers and pesticides. Benefits of fertilizer for plants is Stimulate the growth of roots, stems and leaves fiber Improve quality and number of good results. Because the fertilizer is an inorganic chemical compound found in nature or made by humans that have direct or indirect nutrient value for the plant. The use of pesticides can destroy pests, and increase the production of plants quickly. But can be harmful to human health because exposure to pesticides that enter the human body either through the skin, nose, or mouth can cause various health problems or illness. After the body is exposed by pesticides, then attacks the body organs including the lungs and respiratory system, liver, kidneys and urinary tract, nervous system, blood and bone marrow, heart and blood vessels, skin and reproductive system, immune system, bone, Muscles, and glands. So that health problems or diseases that caused such as cancer, infertility, autism, Parkinson's, diabetes, infants born with disabilities, anemia, stunting (short stature), goiter (enlargement gland), and others.

2. Bananas Faster Fast
Maybe when we take a banana from our own garden the bananas are still green. While we are eager to eat bananas, there is a quick way to ripen bananas in a safe, natural way by using apples and tomatoes, by simply covering the bananas in a paper bag, along with ripe apples or tomatoes. Apples or tomatoes emit ethylene, which is a material that functions for the natural chemical fruiting of the fruit. But instead, if we want to keep the bananas that have been ripe and do not want to quickly rot or too ripe, then we should not place the banana fruit in a fruit bowl with other ripe fruit.
3. Adding Salt To Make Coffee Sense Better
Have we ever ordered or made coffee and it tastes so sour? One ingenious solution to the sour coffee taste is to sprinkle it with a pinch of salt. Salt dissolves in coffee to release sodium ions. Coffee will not change better, but it will taste better because sodium blocks the taste receptors that detect the bitter. If we brew your own coffee, we can add salt during the coffee-making process. Another way to reduce bitterness is to avoid making a coffee solution with super-hot water. Too much heat during brewing increases the extraction of a bitter-tasting molecule.
4. Offering Poisonous Animal Poisons
Often in our daily lives bitten or stung by venomous venom, of course it feels very sore and hot, although for animals such as snakes that mengingit into the blood is often recommended to suck it but, for other cases we can use chemistry to mengatsi problems of sting and Bite of venomous animals, if we are stung by the wasps on the face we fear not only but the swelling that is caused, so do the other venomous animals. In general can be from an animal is an acid compound, then the armpit bitten or stung as much as possible we use alkaline compounds to neutralize aasam compounds from the can, the basic compounds that are often young we can around the house are kitchen ash, soap or lime.
5. Enter the sugar in a glass first before the water when making tea in a glass
May have used a glass that when exposed to hot water will break and crack, then one prevent it is to enter the sugar first before the hot water, this can prevent cracking because sugar can absorb the heat which simultaneously increase the boiling point of the solution, so with The presence of sugar can then withstand the temperature of the boiling water becomes lower, of course using thicker glass material is one of the other precise solutions.
6. Field of medicine
Chemistry
has a vital advantage, it can be felt by the existence of various medical
science concerning aspects of chemistry. The use of medicines in medical
science made on the basis of research into a reaction of a process due to
chemicals carried out by the branch of pharmaceutical science.

7. Benefits of Chemistry in the Field of Machinery
Studying the properties and composition of metal are good for machine making, studying the nature, composition of fuel, and engine oil. Those are the benefits of Chemistry in the field of machinery.

8. Chemistry in Biology
Biology is the study of the special thing about living things. Chemical processes that take place in living things include digestion of food, breathing, metabolism, photosynthesis, and others. To learn this, knowledge of the structure and properties of existing compounds, such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, enzymes, is necessary. Although in general this is more closely related to the Science of Biology, but the benefits of Chemistry also in fact a little more influential in this biological field.
9. Chemistry in Civil Engineering
The materials used in this field are cement, wood, paint, nails, iron, paralon (PVC pipe), glue, and so on. All these materials are produced through research based on Chemistry. The benefits of Chemistry in the field of civil engineering is that the building materials can be known advantages and disadvantages. So as to minimize accidents in the future.
10. Chemistry in the Arts
The chemical industry produces paint to embellish a material or a building. Chemicals present in wall paints include calcium carbonate, titanium dioxidapolivinyl, acrylic, water.


Besides the positive side of chemistry, is there a negative side? And whether it can harm our lives on earth?
BalasHapusIn the environmental field, the worst impact of the depletion of the ozone layer is the occurrence of global warming, where the icebergs in the north pole will melt resulting in rising sea levels. Gradually land on earth will be drowned. Another consequence is that the earth's temperature becomes hotter and causes erratic weather changes.
HapusOn the other hand, there are chemicals that cause ozone depletion to be more severe than CFCs, namely Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), Halons, Methyl Bromide, Carbon Tetrachloride, and Methyl Chloroform. These ozone-depleting substances are mostly used as coolants, foaming agents, fire extinguishers in firefighting, pesticides, and aerosol propellants.
What is the function of adding salt in coffee?
BalasHapusSalt also has a function to reduce the bitter bit of coffee. Thus the findings of a study in Nature.
HapusThis is because the sodium content of ions in the salt. The content reduces the bitter taste of coffee and increases the pleasure of the coffee itself.
Usually people will add salt in the steeping coffee that comes from instant coffee that the price is cheap so it tastes less so delicious. Of course salt will not make coffee salty because you just have to put a little on it.
In your article, alkali compounds can neutralize acid compounds, such as soaps, and others. But if it is exposed to poisonous snake bites, can be cured or neutralized using soap or other alkaline compounds? Whether the poison is not spreading and how will it be?
BalasHapusSince the base when encountered by the acid will react, in the case of a poisonous snake bite the use of soap can neutralize the poisonous snake's venom but, it is only briefly for the next to be examined by the doctor.
HapusWhat compounds play a role in neutralizing toxic animals poison?
BalasHapus1. Milk can also neutralize the toxins that enter the body, so the body can survive, not even affect the poison. In the milk contained a substance known as antidotum. The antidote is capable of capturing and depositing existing toxins. Once the poison is settled and neutralized by the body system that gets the power of the milk content, then the poison is removed through the feces.
Hapus2. Bidding > Poisons
a) Acetominophen >NAC (N-acetylcysteine).
b).Anticholinergic>Fisostigmin
c) Anticoagulants>(warfarin / coumadin, heparin) Vitamin K1, protamin.
d) Benzodiazepines> Supportive care, flumazenil
e) Botulinum> Antitoxin Botulism
