Applications of Chemistry in Everyday Life
Chemistry
offers a simple solution to the small problems of everyday life. Here are some
easy tips to help with daily life problems using the principles of chemistry.
1.
Eliminate Gum
Have we our shoes stepping on chewing gum or even chewing gum
stuck in our hair? There are several ways to get rid of the sticky properties
of the rubber so that it removes it. One way is to freeze the chewing gum with
ice cubes will make it fragile, so it's less sticky making it easier to pick it
up. Another way is to use a lubricant or chain lubricant or lubricant
lubricant. The lubricant will fight sticky glue, so you can slide right off.
Although you may not want to spray chains on our hair, if used to remove
chewing gum in our hair we can use this lubricant on the comb or jam and rub it
into the area affected by the chewing gum, and then we wash our hair with
regular sampoh.
2.
Avoid Crying When Slicing Onions
Did you cry when slicing
onions? Certainly not for your sadness .. Every slice of onion cell blade is
open and will release volatile chemicals that irritate your eyes and make you
cry. One way ways to avoid tears or tears in hehe .. while slicing bwawng is by
way of wanting the onion into the refrigerator or freezer if you want faster,
before cutting the onion. This cooling temperature slows down the rate of chemical
reaction, so it takes longer for the acid compound to form such compounds and
less likely to blow in the direction of our eyes. In addition, the alternative
is to cut the onion under water or while soaking the water while we cut the
onion, because the compound is released into the water and not the air.
3.
Test Eggs in Water
Maybe among us there is difficult to distinguish between a
good egg and a rotten egg? One way is practical and young way is to soak it by
using water in a glass, if the egg is drown then the egg is good, whereas if
the egg is floating then the egg is rotten, this is caused by the rotten egg
containing hydrogen sulphide gas having a period Which is lighter when compared
to the water type.
4.
Alcohol Can Remove Stickers
Maybe we often see little kids playing temporary tattoos or
strikers they buy at school, then they wear in hand or even stick it on the
glass or window, then of course we will compress the striker image where
everywhere, sometimes in the body difficult Lost by just washing it with soap.
One good way to get rid of strikers is to use alcohol, alcohol is a good enough
compound to remove tattoos on the body or in glass, although it may be somewhat
destructive if used in wood, but with alcohol it will disappear faster and is
relatively safe compared to By using other chemicals, this is due generally to
the materials used to make the striker soluble in alcohol.
5.
Make Better Ice Ice
Ice cubes that we often see may be blurred or like clouds and
not clear shiny this is caused when ice cubes we use raw water or water that is
not cooked, so there are still many gases in the water, to produce ice The
stone is more clear and shiny then we should use boiled water or boiled water
first so that the gases or bubbles that exist in the water can dapa out before
we are allowed into the refrigerato.
6.
Enter the Needle
Maybe for the elderly and penglihatnya began to decline,
insert the thread into the needle is a difficult thing to do, karen than the
yarn usually less hard and stiff, the end of the thread biasnya there are small
fibers that are difficult to enter into the pinhole, one of The easy way to
insert the thread into the needle is, first we have to cut the thread by using
ginting, then the end of the thread we love the candle let a little more feet
and then we can color by using paint nails artau food coloring that exists
around us, In this way the difficulty of inserting the needle can be reduced.
7.
Fasten Bananas Faster
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.
8.
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.
9.
Offer 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.
10.
Select the sugar in the 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.











What is the best thing we do if we get poison?
BalasHapusHai hudia, The simple thing that you do will be very helpful for doctors to minimize the impact of food poisoning, even able to save the lives of patients. Here's what you can do:
Hapus1. Keep an eye on the patient's condition. Keep the patient in a conscious state. Loosen the patient's clothing to make it more comfortable.
2. As much as possible for patients vomiting with mechanical stimuli (suppressing vomiting reflex in the throat), or salt water administration. This is to remove toxins that have not reached the stomach. However, do not do this to a fainting patient or being cramped because it can cause aspiration.
3. Tilt the patient's head, to ease the flow of vomit.
4. Do not give anti-vomiting drugs because vomiting is a mechanism of expenditure of foreign bodies in the body. An anti-vomiting drug only if the patient is severely dehydrated.
5. If the patient is conscious and able to drink, give milk or coconut water.
6. Give an absorbent group of drugs (eg, kaopectate, aluminum hydroxide) which is useful in absorbing toxins present in the intestine. Do not stop the diarrhea unless the patient is dehydrated.
7. Give liquids containing salt and sugar (ORS). If there are signs of dehydration, immediately take the patient to the nearest health service to get an IV.
8. Recall the last food the patient consumed before the onset of symptoms. In addition, we can guess the cause of poisoning from the typical smell that comes out of the patient's mouth. Report it to the treating doctor.
Haii desii.. I want to ask you about chemical evidence... Can you explain why our life cant separated by chemical reaction?
BalasHapusHai rini, thaks for question. In the life of chemical reactions is very important for example when we happen to happen chemical reactions that is in the process of inhalation of oxygen (O2) and carbohydrate / amuilum (C6H12O6) then air into the lungs. At the time the air is expelled (the expiration) the carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and H2O (water vapor is released simultaneously
HapusWhat is the chemical reaction when we adding Salt To Make Coffee Sense Better?
BalasHapusHi agung, thank you question. 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
HapusCan you explain to me about the excessive use of chemicals?
BalasHapusHi munika, thank you question. For example if we overuse in taking drugs then we will overdose. So something excessive will have a bad effect
HapusAlcohol can be used for antiseptics, whether the workings of Alcohol equal to removing stickers
BalasHapusThe way alcohol works on antiseptics by cleaning the stickers is different. Alcohol in the antiseptic destroys the cell membrane of the bacteria, resulting in protein denaturation (altering the structure of protein I so that it becomes inactive). In virus, alcohol will; Dissolves the fat sac of the virus. As a result, bacteria / viruses will die. While to clean the stickers are used to make the striker dissolve in alcohol.
HapusOne way to get rid of sticky gum is to freeze gum with ice cubes will make it fragile, so it's less sticky making it easier to pick it up. How about using oil? Can it ?
BalasHapusHi Novi, thanks for the question. Of course it could be because the oil gets rid of the sticky properties of chewing gum and makes it easier to pull
HapusBananas wrapped in tomatoes and apples if the bananas are old. So what are the characteristics of a banana that can be cooked when wrapped in apples and tomatoes?
BalasHapusAll types of bananas can be treated because apples or tomatoes emit ethylene, which is a material that works for natural chemical fruiting.
HapusIf the eggs sink then the eggs are good, whereas if the eggs are floating then the eggs are rotten. What chemical reactions it contains that can make that happen
BalasHapusFloat egg is caused by a rotten egg containing hydrogen sulfide gas having a milder period when compared to the water type
HapusTry to explain volatile chemicals?
BalasHapusVolatile chemicals are the properties of flammable liquids and liquid vapors can burn (cause fire) under normal conditions.
HapusMention chemical reactions to water changes to ice cubes?
BalasHapusThe change of water into ice is a process of physics change and physics change itself is a change that does not produce new substance.Es that melts does not produce new substance Ice and water is composed of the same compound, that is H2O. The difference between ice and water is only seen from Its form only.
