Uses | Applications of Chemistry

The study of Chemistry has contributed greatly to the provision of the basic necessities of life. These include:

1. Agriculture:

The use of fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides has helped to increase food production and preservatives used in preserving food.

Soil analysis and agricultural implements are all available as a result of Chemistry.

2. Clothing:

Through intensive chemical research, many textile industries have been established for the manufacture of textile materials.

3. Medicine:

Drugs (pharmaceuticals), and surgical equipment are available from chemical research and technology.

4. Industry:

Manufacturing of goods, food processing, industrial equipment, and fuels.

5. Military:

Chemistry has contributed to the discovery of explosives used by the military, arms and ammunition, helmets, bullet-proof, etc.

6. Housing:

The house constructed uses the following chemical products: cement, concrete, steel, bricks, and tiles.

7. Transportation:

Modern transportation like motor cars, aircraft, and motorcycles was made possible by chemists producing suitable fuels and structural materials like alloys, which are light strong, and heat-resistant.
