ROLE OF CHEMISTRY IN EVERYDAY LIFE

All physical and chemical processes occurring in this universe include chemistry. The living as well as non living substances may be it a goat, a cow, a brick, a stone, a bed sheet, a piece of bread, a biscuit or a drink etc. are made up of chemical compounds. All processes occurring on earth take place as a result of chemical reactions. These reactions may be spontaneous or non-spontaneous i.e. some reactions occur by themselves and for some reactions external agency is required. However in all these reactions chemistry is involved. It means that the chemical reactions or chemistry plays vital role in everyday life. The foods we eat are chemical products and the ways in which they are converted into various substances in the body is greatest chemical mystery. To study the chemistry of these processes will not be possible to cover in the present paper. However knowledge of some chemistry can help a person to take day to day decisions that affects the life processes. In the present paper efforts have been made to summarize the role of chemistry related to the liquids used by us in daily life.
