Manufactured Substances in Industry
Almost everything we see is a manufactured product. Spoon, forks and pots are industry-
manufactured products used in the kitchen. Washing liquids such as detergents are
manufactured from ammonia. Buckets, bottles, plastic plates and bowl are examples of
synthetic polymers normally used in daily life.
Many industrial products are manufactured for our comfort. They are either made from
sulphuric acid, ammonia, alloys, synthetic polymers, glass, ceramics or composite materials.
2.0 Usage of sulphuric acid
I. Manufacture of fertilisers
II. Manufacture of synthetics fibres
III. Manufacture of explosive
4.0 Alloy
4.1 Examples of alloy and their properties
These are the examples of alloys:
1. Impurity atoms which are mixed may be larger or smaller than atoms of pure metal
2. Impurity atoms fill empty spaces between the atoms in pure metal
3. Impurity atoms can prevent the layers of metal atom from sliding along one another
easily
4. Due to this, an alloy is harder and stronger than pure metal
5. For example, steel is harder than iron
