free energy refers to the amount of internal energy in a thermodynamic system that is available to do work. There are different forms of thermodynamic free energy
Petroleum Refining is defined as the industrial process of production of useful petroleum products from crude oil. The crude oil in its raw form is a dark and sticky liquid which is not useful. To get the usable products from the crude oil, it needs to be refined.
These are those polymers which decompose under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, as a result of the action of microorganism/enzymes.
Crystal field theory established in 1929 explains the interaction of the metal ion and the ligand as a pure electrostatic reaction
Polyvinyl chloride is produced from the main component. It is white, brittle solid material available in powder form or granules.
Chirality is an important property of asymmetry in many branches of science. A chiral molecule or ion exists in two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other, called enantiomers
Optical activity is the ability of a chiral molecule to rotate the plane of plane-polarised light.some organic compounds cause the rotation of polarized light

Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) estimates the amount of biodegradable organic matter that is present in polluted waters, effluents and polluted waters
water that contains a required quantity of dissolved minerals (like calcium and magnesium) ,Water hardness is usually measured as calcium hardness in milligrams per litre (mg/l)
Hybridization is process, where the atomic orbitals having different shape and energy inter mingle together to form a set of similar orbitals
Petroleum Refining is defined as the industrial process of production of useful petroleum products from crude oil. The crude oil in its raw form is a dark and sticky liquid which is not useful. To get the usable products from the crude oil, it needs to be refined.
The word “entropy” is derived from the Greek word, which means “turning”. It was derived to provide a quantitative measure for the spontaneous changes
The sample path length and concentration of the sample are directly proportional to the absorbance of the light.
Coagulation is a chemical process that is used in water treatment,a coagulant is added to remove the dispersed oils.
It is a process that involves the protection of steel and iron from exposure to the atmosphere leading to rusting
