Boric acid is a weak, water-soluble acid that occurs naturally in some minerals, volcanic waters, and hot springs. It is a white, odorless, and crystalline powder that is often used as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, and in various industrial applications. Boric acid is also commonly used in households as an eyewash, as a preservative for food and cosmetics, and as an ingredient in some laundry and cleaning products. It is considered a safe and effective substance when used properly, but can be toxic in high doses.
Boric acid Uses
Insecticide:
Boric acid is a natural and effective insecticide that can be used to control pests such as ants, cockroaches, termites, and silverfish.
Antiseptic:
Boric acid can be used as an antiseptic to treat minor cuts, burns, and fungal infections such as athlete’s foot and yeast infections.
Flame retardant:
Boric acid is often used as a flame retardant in textiles, plastics, and other materials.
Preservative:
Boric acid can be used as a preservative in food and cosmetics to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Industrial applications:
Boric acid is used in the production of fiberglass, ceramics, and other industrial materials.
Laundry and cleaning:
Boric acid can be used as a laundry booster and in cleaning products to remove stains and odors.
Eyewash:
Boric acid can be used as an eyewash to soothe irritated eyes.

Acetaldehyde
- Chemical Structure: Acetaldehyde consists of two carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and four hydrogen atoms. Its structure is CH3CHO, where the carbon atom in the middle is doubly bonded to an oxygen atom and singly bonded to a hydrogen atom and a methyl group (CH3).
- Occurrence: Acetaldehyde can be found naturally in various ripe fruits, coffee, and heated milk. It is also produced by the oxidation of ethanol (alcohol) by enzymes in the liver and other tissues in humans, making it an intermediate product in alcohol metabolism.
