  All the objects around you, this device, your pen or pencil and things of  nature such as rocks,  water and plant constitute the matter of the universe. Matter is any substance which occupies space and has mass. Dalton, in 1808, proposed that matter was made up of extremely small, indivisible particles called atoms. (In Greek atom means which cannot be cut). This concept  was accepted for number of years. The main postulates of Dalton’s  atomic theory are ·  Matter is made up of small indivisible particles, called atoms. ·  Atoms can  neither  be created nor destroyed. This means that a chemical reaction is just a simple rearrangement of atoms and the same number of atoms must be present before and after the reaction. ·  Atom is the smallest particle of an element which takes part in a chemical reaction. ·  Atoms of the same element are identical in all respects especially, size, shape and mass. ·  Atoms of different elements...

  Parabens are a class of chemicals commonly used as preservatives in personal care and cosmetic products. They are derived from para-hydroxybenzoic acid and are often listed on ingredient labels as methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, isobutyl paraben, or butylparaben. Parabens are effective at preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi in products, which helps to extend their shelf life and prevent spoilage. However, there has been growing concern over the safety of parabens in recent years, with some studies suggesting that they may have negative health effects. One of the main concerns is that parabens can act as endocrine disruptors, meaning that they can interfere with the normal functioning of hormones in the body. This is because parabens are structurally similar to the hormone estrogen, and may be able to mimic its effects in the body. Some studies have suggested that parabens may be linked to a higher risk of breast cancer, as well as other reproduct...

Zero-order reactions are chemical reactions that proceed at a constant rate independent of the concentration of the reactants. In this guide, we will derive the expression for the time required for a zero-order reaction and calculate its half-life. Derivation of Time Required for Zero Order Reaction: The rate law for a zero-order reaction is given by: rate = k[R]^0 = k where [R] is the concentration of the reactant and k is the rate constant. We can integrate this rate law to obtain the expression for the time required for a zero-order reaction: [R]t = [R]0 - kt where [R]t is the concentration of the reactant at time t, [R]0 is the initial concentration of the reactant, and k is the rate constant. To solve for time, we can rearrange this equation as: t = ([R]0 - [R]t) / k This is the expression for the time required for a zero-order reaction. Half-Life Calculation: The half-life of a zero-order reaction is the time required for the concentration of the reactant to decrease by half. We ...
