This section presents several ways our day-to-day lives have been enriched by chemistry. list three materials or processes involving chemistry that you feel have contributed to such an enrichment, and explain your choices.

One of the most intriguing processes in the field of chemistry is synthesizing techniques. More specifically, the ability to undergo a multiple step by step reaction of one component to another. For example, the ability to combine hydrogen with nitrate in liquid form to produce a synthesizing reaction of nitric acid, a very strong acidic chemical that is toxic but a highly effective cleaning agent in laboratory glassware. Next, a very standardized process obtained from basic chemistry laboratory is the titration method. Titration means to slowly add the concentration of a substance to an unknown substance. What this does is it helps with identifying the equilibrium stage, or neutralization point. This practice can be extended outside of a laboratory and into the healthcare field such as the practice of medicine. For example, a patient who becomes ill and develops symptoms of cough, sore throat, wheezing, and shortness of breath may seek breathing treatment for relief. Typically antibiotics are given to cover any bacterial illness, but as far as the shortness of breath goes an inhaler/nebulizer will be given in addition to steroids. When using steroids, typically this is taken as a titration. The consumer will take a larger amount of steroids on the first day, then slowly decrease the concentration until the final days on a consistent dosage. Lastly, a cheap and effective thirst quencher such as kool aid has been around for years. This powder can be mixed with water for a flavorful thirst quencher that is consumed by kids and adults. This practice is very similar to chemical laboratories that have practiced mixing solutions for years. This technique can also be considered a basic chemistry education as the teacher will often present the difference between a "mixture" and a "solution". By popularity, the mixture is defined as both substance equally available in a container such as sand and water. A solution can be defined as mixing kool aid powder (red color) resulting in red liquid solution.
