 Sulphuric acid is used in the making of paints ,

detergents, the electrolyte in car batteries and
fertilizers

 Sulphuric acid is made in industry trough the

Contact process

 The advantages of sulphuric acid are catalyst

and dehydrating agent in many organic
chemical manufacturing and petrochemical
process

 The burning fossil fuels such as petrol and

products made from sulphuric acid will produce
sulphur dioxide which pollutes the environment

 Ammonia is a very important compound in industry

 Ammonia is mainly used to make fertilisers and nitric

acid

 Ammonia gas has pungent smell and gives a white fume

when reacted with hydrogen chloride gas

 Ammonia is manufactured through Haber process

 Disadvantages of ammonia and its salt are exposes to

very high concentrations of gaseous ammonia can
results in lung damages and death

An alloy is a compound formed by mixing

metals with each other elements

Some example of alloys are duralumin brass,

stainless steel, bronze and pewter

The process of mixing atoms of pure metals

and atoms of impurities a metal or non-metal
by melting are called alloying

alloying aims:

o increase the strength and hardness of

metals
o prevent metal corrosions
o improve the appearance of metals so that
thy are more attractive

 Synthetic polymers are man-made polymers that

are produced from chemical compounds through
polymerization

 Plastic, synthetic fibers and synthetic rubber are

examples of synthetic polymers

 Polymerization is the process of combining two

monomers to form a long-chained polymers

 The main component of glass is silica and

silicone dioxide

 Glass is brittle, hard, transparent and chemically

inert

 Type of glass includes fused silica glass, soda

lime glass, borosilicate glass, and lead crystal
glass

been heated at high temperature

 The main property of ceramics includes being

brittle, a good insulator of heat and electricity,
very hard, having a very high melting and being
heat resistance

Conclusion

Sulphuric acid is used to make fertilizers, the electrolyte in car

batteries, paint and detergents.Sulphuric acid is made in industry
through the Contact process.The burning fossil fuels such as
petrol and products made from sulphuric acid will produce
sulphur dioxide which pollutes the environment.

Ammonia, NH3 is a very important compound in

industry.Ammonia, NH3 is in the manufactures of nitrogenous
fertilizers.Ammonia, NH3 is mass produced in factories through
the Haber process N2 (g) + 3H2 (g)

An alloy is a compound formed by mixing metals with each

other elements. The process of mixing atoms of pure metals and
atoms of impurities a metal or non-metals by melting are called
alloying.
Alloying aims is to
• Increase the strength and hardness of metals
• Prevent metal corrosions
• Improve the appearance of metals so that they are
more attractive

Synthetic polymers are man-made polymers that are produce

from chemical compounds through polymerization.Plastic,
synthetic fibers and synthetic rubber are examples of synthetic
polymers. Polymerization is the process of combining two
monomers to form a long-chained polymers.

The main component of glass is silica and silicone dioxide.Glass

is brittle, hard, transparent and chemically inert.

Composite materials are compounds that are formed from

combinations of two or more different compounds.Examples of
composite materials are reinforced concrete, composite plastic,
fiber optics and photo chromic glass.
