Aluminium hydroxide is a chemical compound with the formula Al(OH)3. It is an inorganic compound that is commonly used as an antacid to neutralize excess stomach acid, as well as a component in the manufacture of various products, such as ceramics, paper, and cosmetics. It is a white, powdery substance that is insoluble in water and has a low toxicity. When heated, it decomposes to produce aluminium oxide, or alumina, which is used in the production of aluminium metal.

It is used as a reducing agent and anticoagulant which are compounds that are used to neutralize negative charges of

Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) is an inorganic compound that is commonly used as a photographic fixer, as well as in medical and industrial applications. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a mild odor. In photography, sodium thiosulfate is used to remove unexposed silver halide from photographic prints and negatives, making the image permanent. In medicine, it is used as an antidote for cyanide poisoning, and in industrial applications, it is used as a reducing agent, a dechlorinating agent, and in water treatment processes.
