Definition of Optical Rotation Optical Rotations refers to the rotations of the plane of polarization of polarized light as it passes through an optically active substance. It is quantified as $\alpha = [\alpha] \cdot l \cdot c$ where: α is the observed rotation (degrees). [α] is the specific rotation (degrees·dm⁻¹·g⁻¹·mL). l is the path length … Read more
Definition of Refractive Index: it is the index (n) is a measure of how much light is bent, or refracted, when it enters a substance. It is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the material: $n = \frac{c}{v}$ where: c is the speed of … Read more
Solid – Amorphous lack a long-range ordered structure. Characteristics of Solid – Amorphous: Short-Range Order: Atoms are ordered only over short distances. Isotropy: Properties are generally uniform in all directions. Broad Melting Range: Gradually soften over a range of temperatures rather than having a sharp melting point. Formation of Solid – Amorphous: Rapid cooling of … Read more
Glassy States refer to the amorphous state of a material where it behaves like a solid but has a disordered atomic structure like a liquid. Characteristics of Glassy States: Non-crystalline: Lacks long-range order typical of crystals. Transition: Forms when a liquid is cooled rapidly, bypassing the crystalline state, resulting in a solid without a defined … Read more
Acetyl Salicylic Acid (Aspirin) Definition Acetyl Salicylic Acid (Aspirin) commonly known as aspirin, is a synthetic derivative of salicylic acid and belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is widely used for its analgesic (pain-relieving), antipyretic (fever-reducing), anti-inflammatory, and antiplatelet (blood-thinning) properties. Structure: Chemical Formula: C₉H₈O₄ Molecular Structure: An ester formed by … Read more
Methyl Salicylate Definition Methyl salicylate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, minty odor, used in topical analgesics, flavoring agents, and fragrances. It is an ester of salicylic acid, commonly referred to as oil of wintergreen. Structure: Chemical Formula: C₈H₈O₃ Molecular Structure: An ester formed by the condensation of salicylic acid and … Read more
Dimethyl Phthalate Definition Dimethyl Phthalate is a colorless, oily liquid used primarily as a plasticizer, solvent, and insect repellent. It is synthesized by esterifying phthalic anhydride with methanol. Structure: Chemical Formula: C₁₀H₁₀O₄ Molecular Structure: An ester formed by the condensation of phthalic acid and methanol, consisting of a benzene ring with two ester groups attached. … Read more
Benzyl Benzoate Definition Benzyl Benzoate is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₅CH₂O₂CC₆H₅. It is the ester formed by the condensation of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid. Structure: Chemical Formula: C₁₄H₁₂O₂ Molecular Structure: An ester formed by the condensation of benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol. Geometry: Planar around the aromatic rings. Uses: Pharmaceuticals: Used as … Read more
Benzoic Acid Definition Benzoic Acid is a white, crystalline aromatic carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C₆H₅COOH. It consists of a benzene ring attached to a carboxyl group. It is slightly soluble in water and highly soluble in organic solvents. Structure: Chemical Formula: C₇H₆O₂ Molecular Structure: Contains a benzene ring attached to a carboxyl group … Read more
Salicylic Acid Definition Salicylic acid is a phenolic acid and a type of beta hydroxy acid that functions as a keratolytic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial agent. It is commonly used to treat acne, warts, psoriasis, and other skin disorders due to its ability to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Structure: Chemical Formula: C₇H₆O₃ Molecular Structure: … Read more
