ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF CONDUCTOMETRY IN CHEMISTRY

Conductometry: Let us discuss advantages and disadvantages of Conductometry. This method is also called as conductometric titration method. Types, mobility, concentration of ions and temperature affects the electrochemical conductivity

Some of the advantages of conductometry are as follows:

1. In this method as coductance  is measured by conductivity meter , indicator is not required.
2. Conductometric titration works for coloured solution.
3. Accurate results can be obtained by conductometry.
4. It is suitable for both weak base as well as weak acid.
5. This method is also suitable for turbid solution.

Some of the disadvantages of conductometry are as follows:

1. Sometimes the salt level increases in the solution which masks the conductivity and do not gives accurate result.
2. Sometimes high concentration of ions masks the conductivity and hence do not give accurate results.

Applications of Conductometry

Some applications of conductometry are discussed here, conductometry in analytical chemistry is used to measure the progress of chemical reactions. Conductometric titration is carried out in order to measure the  electrical conductivity of the reaction mixture. This type of titration gives a sharp end point for the colored solution.

• This type of titration is used to check water pollution in lakes as well as rivers.
• It is also used to check the alkalinity of the fresh water
• Salinity of the sea water can also be checked by this method.
• It is also used to trace antibiotics.
• Used for tracing microorganism in food microbiology
• To check the solubility of sparingly soluble salts.
• Purity of distilled water and de ionised water can determined.

Seven Advantages of Vitamin C

Vitamin C has significant advantages over others and is very helpful to cure disease and to keep body healthy.

The Advantages of Vitamin C are:

1. Vitamin C in skin protection
Vitamin C protects the skin from free radicals which can be generated during exposure of sunlight. The antioxidant present in Vitamin C protects the body skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation during sunlight exposure.
2. Vitamin C to loose fat
One of the most significant advantages of Vitamin C is it reduces body fat , vitamin C obtained from fruits are very useful to loose body fat. Doctors says that As Vitamin C lowers the insulin so instead of storing sugars into body and converting into body fat , it uses it as a fuel to reduce fat in the body.
3. Vitamin C in hair loss
Vitamin C keeps free radical away which may generate during food intake. The antioxidant property of Vitamin C removes free radical which may cause damage to hair by making it rough, brittle etc and ultimately prevents hair loss.
4. Vitamin C in common cold
Vitamin C controls the common cold and reduces the severity of the symptoms which are caused by the common cold. Vitamin C also controls the allergy caused by cold.
5. Vitamin C dilates blood vessels
Vitamin C also ensure the proper dilation of the blood vessels and keeps a body free diseases such as atherosclerosis, chest pain, high cholesterol, heart pain etc.
6. Vitamin C in healing wounds
Vitamin C helps to heal wounds, It replaces the tissue which are damage and improves healing property, If Vitamin C deficiency is observed then wound will heal slowly
7. Vitamin C makes skin Beautiful
There are tiny blood vessels in the skin which contains oxygen and nutrients, Vitamin C provides enough oxygen and nutrition and keeps the skin healthy and beautiful

Because of the Vitamin C, many disease can be prevented by eating citrus fruits and vegetables, apart from discussed points it has various other applications which keeps body healthy and beautiful.

Seven Advantages of Chromatography

Chromatography has significant advantages over other methods that makes it suitable for identification of unknown component from a mixture.

The advantages of Chromatography are:

1. Chromatography is quick method
Chromatography is quick method for the separation of various components from a mixture of  various compounds which are difficult to separate.
2. Chromatography is simple
Chromatography is simple method and even a single person can operate the instrument or an equipment.
3. Chromatography is accurate
One of the most significant advantages of Chromatography is its ability to separate the sample mixture easily and gives accurate results.The ability to separate even complex mixture of compounds effectively, chromatography is widely used method and has applications in various fields.
4. Chromatography is continuous process
Chromatography also supports continuous operation for a large scale batch.This Chromatography method is capable to run the sample at various operating parameters and multiple sample analysis at a time.
5. Chromatography is robust
Robust means reliability. Chromatography puts a lot of emphasis on easy and early detection of given product accurately by checking all possible components, as Chromatography detects wide varieties of samples as a result lots of commercial industries started using it.
6. Chromatography is multithreaded
Multithreaded is the capability for an equipment to perform various task simultaneously within a program.In Chromatography, several operating parameters can be operated smoothly and no any extra efforts are required.
7. Chromatography is secure
Chromatography provides security to an individual with password protection system. The Chromatography equipment, is provided with various password levels among manager, executive and operators.

Because of Chromatography's robustness, easy handling, accurate results, quick results, separation of solid liquid or gaseous samples, it has become popular and widely acceptable method for component separation.

APPLICATIONS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

 Biotechnology applications and uses also know as (Biotech) are discussed here. As we know that biotechnology is used in various fields such agriculture , food industry, medicine, pharmaceutical industry and much more. Today various products are prepared using this technology. Various techniques such as genetic engineering, gene therapy , genetic testing are used with the help of biotechnology. Various hybrids of plants, animals, poultry with high nutritional value can be produced with this technique. Various disease can be diagnosed as well as treated with the help of this method So let us discuss different uses of biotechnology one by one.
