I)What is chemistry:- 1.

The science of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, especially of atomic and molecular systems. 2. The composition, structure, properties, and reactions of a substance. (Chemistry) the branch of physical science concerned with the composition, properties, and reactions of substances See also inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry

II)what is PH & molecular wight:- pH means Pex Hydrogen

The pH of the water is a measure of the balance between the Hydrogen (H+) and Hydroxide (OH) ions in the water. I think most of us know that low pH is acidic and high pH is alkaline or basic. Hence a pH of 5 is slightly acidic water, a pH of 7 is neutral and a pH of 8 is alkaline water. For the budding chemists the equation is as follows: pH = -log10[H3O+] Molecular wight:- Molecular weight is simply the weight of all the atoms in a substance. A molecule is a stable group of two or more atoms and is electrically neutral. Hydrogen and oxygen are atoms. Put two hydrogen and one oxygen together, and you get H2O, or water, which is a molecule. The molecular weight of water is determined by adding together the weight of all three atoms in a single water molecule. The sum of the atomic weights of all atoms making up a molecule. Actually, what is meant by molecular weight is molecular mass. The use of this expression is historical, however, and will be maintained. The atomic weight is the mass, in atomic mass units, of an atom. It is approximately equal to the total number of nucleons, protons and neutrons composing the nucleus. Since 1961 the official definition of the atomic mass unit (amu) has been that it is 1/12 the mass of the carbon-12 isotope, which is assigned the value 12.000 exactly. iii)molecular formula of sugar:It depends on the kind of sugar you are talking about. If you are talking about glucose or fructose, the molecular formula is C6H12O6 (glucose and fructose only differ in structure but have the same formula). Sucrose, which is common table sugar, has the molecular formula C12H22O11.

Scientifically, the word "sugar" is used for any mono- or di-saccharide. Sugar added in food is called sucrose. Sugar naturally found in fruit is called fructose. Definition: An expression which states the number and type of atoms present in a molecule of a substance. Examples: There are 6 C atoms and 14 H atoms in a hexane molecule, which has a molecular formula of C6H14.

iv) what is acid & base:1. a.) Sour, sharp, or biting to the taste; tart; having the taste of vinegar: as, acid fruits or liquors. Also fig.: Sour-tempered. 2. (a.) Of or pertaining to an acid; as, acid reaction. 3. (n.) A sour substance. 4. (n.) One of a class of compounds, generally but not always distinguished by their sour taste, solubility in water, and reddening of vegetable blue or violet colors. They are also characterized by the power of destroying the distinctive properties of alkalies or bases, combining with them to form salts, at the same time losing their own peculiar properties. They all contain hydrogen, united with a more negative element or radical, either alone, or more generally with oxygen, and take their names from this negative element or radical. Those which contain no oxygen are sometimes called hydracids in distinction from the others which are called oxygen acids or oxacids. Base:- Acids taste sour, are corrosive to metals, change litmus (a dye extracted from lichens) red, and become less acidic when mixed with bases. Bases feel slippery, change litmus blue, and become less basic when mixed with acids. Exampl e 0 HCl

v) litmus paper reaction in acid & base:-

One of the first indicators used for this purpose was litmus. Litmus paper is paper that has been treated with a specific indicator - a mixture of 10-15 natural dyes obtained from lichens In acid:- The blue litmus will turn red or pink when it comes into contact with an acidic solution below pH 4.5. Supplied in plastic vial, about 100 paper strips/vial In base:- When litmus paper touches and acid, the paper changes to red. When it touches a base, the paper changes to blue. By comparing the color the litmus paper changed to by a chart, you could determine how strong or weak that acid or base is.Read In nutral no change vi) what is rubber:What, you ask, is rubber? It is a sticky, elastic solid produced from a milky liquid called "latex," which has different properties than the sap found in trees. Although latex is found in the bark, roots, and stems, branches, leaves, and fruit of over 400 different plants and trees, the bulk is found, and extracted, from the inner bark of the branches, and from the trunk, of the rubber tree. Quite simply, it would not be cost-effective to extract the latex from rubber producing plants, such as the dandelion, the milkweed, and the sagebrush. Just visualize some poor soul laboring over one of these with a syringe! Uses of rubber:- Compared to vulcanized rubber, uncured rubber has relatively few uses. It is used for cements; for adhesive, insulating, and friction tapes; and for crepe rubber used in insulating blankets and footwear. Vulcanized rubber, on the other hand, has numerous applications. Resistance to abrasion makes softer kinds of rubber valuable for the treads of vehicle tires and conveyor belts, and makes hard rubber valuable for pump housings and piping used in the handling of abrasive sludge.

vii)what is polymer:Definition: A large molecule made up of chains or rings of linked monomer units. Polymers usually have high melting and boiling points.

Examples: PVC (poly vinyl chloride), polystyrene, cellulose Any of numerous natural and synthetic compounds of usually high molecular weight consisting of up to millions of repeated linked units, each a relatively light and simple molecule.

viii) what is inorganic chemistry:Inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the properties and behavior ofinorganic compounds. This field covers all chemical compounds except the myriad organic compounds (carbon based compounds, usually containing C-H bonds), which are the subjects oforganic chemistry. The distinction between the two disciplines is far from absolute, and there is much overlap, most importantly in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry. The branch of chemistry that deals with inorganic compounds. (Chemistry) the branch of chemistry concerned with the elements and all their compounds except those containing carbon. Some simple carbon compounds, such as oxides, carbonates, etc., are treated as inorganic Compare organic chemistry

ix) what is organic chemistry:Organic Chemistry Definition: Organic chemistry is the chemistry discipline that is concerned with the study of compounds containing carbon that is chemically bonded tohydrogen. Organic chemistry encompasses the synthesis, identification, modeling, and chemical reactions of such compounds. The chemistry of carbon compounds.

x) what is analytical chemistry:Analytical chemistry is the study of the separation, identification, and quantification of the chemical components of natural and artificialmaterials.[1] Qualitative analysis gives an indication of the identity of the chemical species in the sample and quantitative analysis determines the amount of

one or more of these components. The separation of components is often performed prior to analysis.

xi) what is physical chemistry:Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic, atomic, subatomic, and particulate phenomena in chemical systems in terms of physical laws and concepts. It applies the principles, practices and concepts of physics such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics,quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics and dynamics.

xii) what is reaction:1. Any action in resisting other action or force; counter tendency; movement in a contrary direction; reverse action. 2. Reaction is always equal and opposite to action, that is to say, the actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal and in opposite directions. --Sir I. Newton (3d Law of Motion).

xiii)what is mixture:Definition: two or more substances which have been combined such that each substance retains its own chemical identity

xiv)define halogens:any of the electronegative elements, fluorine, chlorine, iodine,bromine, and astatin e, that form binary salts by direct union withmetals.

xv)what is periodic table:Periodic Table Definition: The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements by increasing atomic number which displays the elements so that one may see trends in their properties. The Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleev is most often credited with inventing the periodic table (1869) from which the modern table is derived. Although Mendeleev's table ordered the

elements according to increasing atomic weightrather than atomic number, his table illustrated recurring trends or periodicity in the element properties.

xvi)what is actinide & lanthanide:) a member of the actinide series Also called action actinide - any of a series of radioactive elements with atomic numbers 89 through 103 lanthanide:- Definition: Elements with atomic numbers 58-71 (although there is some dispute over exactly where the lanthanides begin and end!). The lanthanide series is the group ofelements in which the 4f sublevel is being filled. See the section on lanthanides for further information.

xvii)what is zero group element:Group 0 Elements The elements in this group have a full outer electronic shell and thus, the elements in this group have no tendency to lose, gain or share electrons. Thus, the elements in the group are chemically inert. All the elements in this group are gaseous. Because of their chemical inertness, the elements in this group are called the Nobel Gases : Helium Neon Argon Krypton Xenon Radon

Group I Elements The elements in this group have one electron in their outer electronic shell. Thus, each element in this group has a tendency to lose a single electron, to form a singly charged positive ion, which has the stable electronic configuration of its neighbouring Nobel Gas element in the periodic table.

The elements in the group are chemically reactive. The group is divided into two sub-groups. Sub-Group Ia : The Alkali Metals Lithium Sodium Potassium Rubidium Caesium Francium Sub-Group Ib : Transition Metal Elements Copper Silver Gold Hydrogen is included in this group because it has a single electron in its outer electronic shell. However, hydrogen has none of the metallic properties of the alkali metals.

Group II Elements The elements in this group have two electrons in their outer electronic shell. Thus, each element in this group has a tendency to lose two electron, to form a doubly charged positive ion, which has the stable electronic configuration of its neighbouring Nobel Gas element in the periodic table. The elements in the group are chemically reactive. Sub-Group IIa : The Alkaline Earth Metals Beryllium Magnesium Calcium Strontium

Barium Radium Sub-Group IIb : Transition Metal Elements Zinc Cadmium Mercury

Group III Elements The elements in this group have three electrons in their outer-most electronic shell. The electronic configurations of the n th orbitals (i.e. outer-most orbitals) are ns2 np1. Thus, each element in this group has a tendency to lose three electron, to form a triply charged positive ion, which has the stable electronic configuration of its nearest neighbouring Nobel Gas element in the periodic table. The elements in the group are chemically reactive. Sub-Group IIIa : Transition Metal Elements Scandium Yttrium Lanthanum The following elements also have the same electronic configuration as lanthanum (i.e. 4s2 4p1) in their outer-most electronic orbitals, while the inner 3d orbitals are being filled, from going from element to element. Cerium Praeseodymium Neodymium Promethium Samarium Europium Gadolinium Terbium Dysprosium

Holmium Erbium Thulium Ytterbium Lutecium These are the transition elements, and are also called the Lanthanides. Actinium The following elements also have the same electronic configuration as actinium (i.e. 5s2 5p1) in their outer-most electronic orbitals, while the inner 4d orbitals are being filled, on going from element to element. Neptunium Plutonium Americium Curium Berkelium These are the inner transition elements, and are also called the Actinides. Sub-Group IIIb : Main Group Elements Boron Aluminium Gallium Indium Thallium

Group IV Elements The elements in this group have four electrons in their outer electronic shell. Thus, each element in this group has a tendency to share these four electrons, to form covalent compounds, thereby gaining the stable electronic configuration of its neighbouring Nobel Gas element in the periodic table. The elements in the group are chemically reactive.

Sub-Group IVa : Transition Metal Elements Titanium Zirconium Hafnium Thorium Sub-Group IVb : Main Group Elements Carbon Silicon Germanium Tin Lead

Group V Elements The elements in this group have five electrons in their outer electronic shell. Thus, each element in this group has a tendency to gain three two electron, to form a triple charged negative ion, which has the stable electronic configuration of its nearest neighbouring Nobel Gas element in the periodic table. The elements in the group are chemically reactive. Sub-Group Va : Transition Metal Elements Vanadium Niobium Tantalum Protactinium Sub-Group Vb : Main Group Elements Nitrogen Phosphorus Arsenic Antimony Bismuth

Group VI Elements The elements in this group have six electrons in their outer electronic shell.

The elements in the group are chemically reactive. Sub-Group VIa : Transition Metal Elements Chromium Molybdenum Tungsten Uranium Sub-Group VIb : Main Group Elements Oxygen Sulphur Selenium Tellurium Polonium

Group VII Elements The elements in this group have seven electrons in their outer electronic shell. Thus, each element in this group has a tendency to lose an electron, to form a singly charged negative ion, which has the stable electronic configuration of its nearest neighbouring Nobel Gas element in the periodic table. The elements in the group are chemically reactive. Sub-Group VIIa : Transition Metal Elements

Manganese Technetium Rhenium Sub-Group VIIb : Main Group Elements Fluorine Chlorine Bromine Iodine Astatine

Group VIII Elements This group contains three triads of elements, in the center of the periodic table. Iron Cobalt Nickel Ruthenium Rhodium Palladium Osmium Iridium Platinum These elements have the typical properties of metals, metallic luster, tensile strength, and rightly.

Group Number The group number is the number assigned to the vertical columns of the structured list of all known elements in the periodic table. Elements within the same group

have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shells. Thus, all elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.

Groups in the Periodic Table The elements are arranged in the sequence of their increasing atomic numbers into the periodic table, which is arranged in rows and columns, so that elements with similar chemical properties are in the same vertical column. The elements which are in the same columns are said to be in the same group, and they have similar chemical properties.

xviii)what is sodium fusion test:The `sodium fusion test` is used in elemental analysis for the qualitative determination of elemental halogens, nitrogen and sulfur in a sample. It was developed by J. L. Lassaigne. The test involves heating the sample strongly with clean sodium metal, `fusing` it with the sample. The `fused` sampl... The sodium fusion test is used in elemental analysis for the qualitative determination of elemental halogens, nitrogen and sulfur in a sample. It was developed by J. L. Lassaigne.[1] The test involves heating the sample strongly with clean sodium metal, "fusing" it with the sample. A variety of techniques has been described. The "fused" sample is plunged into water, and the usual qualitative tests are performed on the resultant solution for the respective possible constituents.[1]

xix) what is spot testSpot tests are simple chemical procedures which uniquely identify a substance. They can be done on small samples, even microscopic samples of matter with no preliminary separation.

xx)what is diazotization test:-

Reaction between a primary aromatic amine and nitrous acid to give a diazo compound. Also known as diazo process. 1. Most important application of Diazotization is in making AZO dyes used for dying and printing of textiles. 2. for converting Amino group in aromatic compound into Halogen group via Sandmeyer...

xxi)what is alcohol:What is alcohol? Alcohol is a clear drink that is made from corn, barley, grain, rye, or a beverage containing ethyl. When a person drinks alcohol, about 20 percent is absorbed in the stomach, and 80 percent is absorbed in the small intestine. The concentration of alcohol, the type of drink, and whether the stomach is full or empty depends on how fast the alcohol is absorbed. Once the alcohol is absorbed into the tissue, it affects your mind and body. Blood alcohol concentration can rise up to 20 minutes after having a drink. After alcohol is absorbed it leaves the body in three ways: the kidneys, lungs, and liver. In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which a hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom, usually connected to other carbon or hydrogen atoms.

xxii)what is molasis:Molasses is a viscous by-product of the processing of sugar cane, grapes or sugar beets into sugar. The word molasses comes from the Portuguese word melao, which ultimately comes from mel, the Latin word for "honey".[1] The quality of molasses depends on the maturity of the sugar cane or sugar beet, the amount of sugar extracted, and the method of extraction. Sweet sorghum syrup is known in some parts of the United States as molasses, though it is not true molasses.

What is atomic weight:-

Atomic weight (symbol: Ar) is a dimensionless physical quantity, the ratio of the average mass of atoms of an element (from a given source) to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12 (known as the unified atomic mass unit).[1][2] The term is usually used, without further qualification, to refer to the standard atomic weights published at regular intervals by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry(IUPAC)[3][4] and which are intended to be applicable to normal laboratory materials. These standard atomic weights are reprinted in a wide variety of textbooks, commercial catalogues, wallcharts etc., and in the table below. The fact "relative atomic mass of the element" may also be used to describe this physical quantity, and indeed the continued use of the term "atomic weight" has attracted considerable controversy since at least the 1960s[ what is production management:Theatrical production management is a sub-division of stagecraft. The production management team (consisting of a production manager and any number of assistants) is responsible for realizing the visions of the producer and the director or choreographer within constraints of technical possibility. This involves coordinating the operations of various production sub-disciplines (scenic, wardrobe, lighting, sound, projection, automation, video,pyrotechnics, stag e management, etc.) of the presentation. The job of coordinating and controlling the activitiesrequired to make a product, typically involving effective control of scheduling, cost, performance, quality, and wasterequirements. What is operations management:-. Operations Management is the function of managing the operating core of an organisation: the activities associated with creation, production, distribution and delivery of the organisation's goods and services. The Operations Management Group at IIM Lucknow seeks to provide Indian organisations the knowledge base relating to this operating core, to help them become domestically and internationally competitive. Specifically, the group works on identifying, developing, documenting, interpreting for practice, and disseminating innovative approaches in Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management. These approaches are based on model-based research and synthesis of best practices from around the world.

Operations management focuses on carefully managing the processes to produce and distribute products and services. Major, overall activities often include product creation, development, production and distribution. (These activities are also associated with Product and Service Management.) Related activities include managing purchases, inventory control, quality control, storage, logistics and evaluations of processes. A great deal of focus is on efficiency and effectiveness of processes. Therefore, operations management often includes substantial measurement and analysis of internal processes. Ultimately, the nature of how operations management is carried out in an organization depends very much on the nature of the products or services in the organization, for example, on retail, manufacturing or wholesale. Sections of This Topic Include Purchasing Control and Coordinating Function of Management Product and Service Management Quality Management Inventory Management Supply Chain Management Logistics and Transportation Management Facilities Management Configuration Management Distribution Channels Enterprise Resource Planning What is inventory management:nventory management is the process of efficiently overseeing the constant flow of units into and out of an existing inventory. This process usually involves controlling the transfer in of units in order to prevent the inventory from becoming too high, or dwindling to levels that could put the operation of the company into jeopardy. Competent inventory management also seeks to control the costs associated with the inventory, both from the perspective of the total value of the goods included and the tax burden generated by the cumulative value of the inventory.

Purpose of Inventory Management INVENTORY MANAGEMENT must tie together the following objectives ,to ensure that there is continuity between functions : Companys Strategic Goals Sales Forecasting Sales & Operations Planning Production & Materials Requirement Planning. Inventory Management must be designed to meet the dictates of market place and support the companys Strategic Plan . The many changes in the market demand , new opportunities due to worldwide marketing , global sourcing of materials and new manufacturing technology means many companies need to change their Inventory Management approach and change the process for Inventory Control .
