Methyl orange is a fascinating chemical indicator used in scientific and educational settings alike. Its ability to change colour depending on the pH of a solution makes it an invaluable tool for chemists, particularly in titration experiments. It works by colouring alkaline and neutral water yellow. Once an acidic substance is added, the water turns red. This makes it invaluable in...
When a reaction draws in energy to help it happen, this is endothermic. A vital part of understanding how chemistry works, endothermic reactions play an important role across industrial processes, natural reactions, and even in everyday life.Learning how you can identify an endothermic reaction is a key part of educating yourself on the world of chemistry, but it can be...
Basic Properties of Sulphuric Acid As a substance often encountered in chemistry, you may wonder "what is sulphuric acid?" Well, sulphuric acid, (spelt as sulfuric acid in the US), is a concentrated reactive acid. It either oxidises, dehydrates, or sulfonates many organic materials. It is made by oxidising sulphur dioxide, is one of the most useful inorganic mineral acids, and plays...
In the world of chemistry, reactions that release energy to their surroundings fall under exothermic. These reactions are not only fascinating but are also incredibly important, as they play a vital role in various natural and industrial processes. Knowing how to identify these reactions becomes important for learning more about how chemicals interact. So, let’s explore what defines this kind of...
Ethanol is a strongly-smelling, volatile, flammable liquid - so yes, the short answer is that ethanol is hazardous! Ethanol was first discovered as a by-product of fermenting alcohol, has been used in chemistry since the 1850s, and due to its versatility is now widely used in industry and homes around the world.Despite being common and having myriad uses, ethanol is...

Deionisation can remove dissolved solids from water through ion exchange techniques. This process effectively removes significant amounts of organic and inorganic substances dissolved in tap water, such as pesticides, fertilisers, sodium, and calcium compounds.The resulting liquid is called deionised water. The Process of Deionisation Mains and untreated water contain dissolved ions. The amount of ions depends on several environmental factors, such as...
