    Sulphuric acid is used to make fertilizer, batteries, paint and detergent. It is produced through the Contact process and burning fossil fuels releases sulphur dioxide which causes acid rain. Ammonia is important for making fertilizers and is produced through the Haber process. Alloys are mixtures of metals that are stronger, harder and resist corrosion compared to pure metals. Polymers are long molecular chains formed by polymerization of monomers, and synthetic polymers include plastics, fibers and rubber. Glass is made mainly of silica and is brittle but transparent, while ceramics are brittle insulating materials made from clay and heated at high temperatures. Composite materials combine two or more compounds like reinforced concrete

    CONCLUSION

    Sulphuric Acid
    Sulphuric acid, H2SO4, is uses to make fertilizer, the electrolyte in car batteries, paint and
    detergent. Sulphuric acid, H2SO4, is made in industry through the Contact process. The
    burning of fossil fuels such as petrol and products made from sulphuric acid, H 2SO4, will
    sulphur dioxide, SO2, which pollutes the environment. The sulphur dioxide gas, SO2 released
    from industrial activities can cause acid rain. Acid rain cause environment pollution.

    Ammonia and Its Salts


    Ammonia, NH is a very important compound in industry. The main use of ammonia, NH 3, is
    in the manufacture of nitrogenous fertilisers. Ammonia, NH 3, is mass produced in factories
    through the Haber process. N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) 2NH3 (g). Example of ammonium salts that
    can be uses as fertilizers are ammonium nitrate NH4NO3, ammonium sulphate, (NH4)2SO4,
    ammonium phosphate, (NH4)3PO4. Ammonia gas, NH3 has a pungent smell and gives a white
    fume when reacted with hydrogen chloride gas, HCl.

    Alloys
    An alloy is a compound formed by mixing metals with other elements. The process of mixing
    atoms of pure metals and atoms of impurities such as metals or non-metals by melting is
    called alloying. Alloying aim to:

    (a) Increases the strength and hardness of metals


    (b) Prevent metal corrosion
    (c) Improve the appearance of metals so that they are more attractive

    The orderly arrangement of atoms of the same size in metals makes metals malleable and
    ductile. An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements in which the major component is a
    metal. Alloys are stronger, harder, do not corrode easily and more luster than pure metals.

    Synthetic Polymers
    A polymer is a long-chained molecule made from the combination of many small molecules
    (monomers). Polymerisation is the process of combining monomers to form a long chained
    polymer. A natural polymer is a polymer that occurs naturally, such as starch and cellulose.
    A synthetic (artificial) polymer that is a man-made polymer that is formed from chemical
    compounds through polymerisation. . Plastic, synthetic fibers and synthetic rubber are
    examples of synthetic polymers.
    Glass and Ceramics
    The main component of glass is silica or silicone dioxide, SiO2. Glass is brittle, hard,
    transparent and chemically inert. Types of glass include fused silica glass, borosilicate glass
    and lead crystal glass. Ceramics are items made from clay that have been heated at high
    temperature. The main properties of ceramics include being brittle, a good insulator of heat
    and electricity, very hard, having a very high melting point and being heat resistance.

    Composite Materials
    Composite materials are compounds that are formed from combinations of two or more
    different compound. Examples of composite materials are reinforced concrete, composite
    plastics, fiber optics and photo chromic glass.
