This document provides important chemistry points for medical entrance exams. It lists several compounds and their uses, such as AgBr being used in photography, chloroform as an anesthetic, and iodoform as an antiseptic. Important ores for metals like iron, copper, and aluminum are also outlined. Finally, concepts in chemistry are defined, such as molality not depending on temperature so it can measure concentration, and the four colligative properties being lowering of vapor pressure, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure.

Cobalt is present in vitamin B12. Chloroform (CHCl3) is used as an anaesthetic. Iodoform (CHI3) is used as an antiseptic. Its antiseptic
action is due to liberation of free iodine.
Buna S is a synthetic polymer in which S stands for styrene. Caprolactum is a starting material for Nylon 6. Aspartame, sucralose and saccharine are artificial sweeteners. Barbituric acid is a tranquilizer. Chloramphenicol is a broad spectrum antibiotic. Ore of iron haematite (Fe2O3), magnetite (Fe3O4). Ore of copper chalcopyrite/copper pyrite (CuFeS2), malachite/ basic copper [CuCO3. Cu(OH)2] Ore of aluminium bauxite (Al2O3. 2H2O), corundum (Al2O3). Molality doesnt depend upon temperature, thus it is used for measuring concentration of a solution. The 4 colligative properties are- relative lowering of vapour pressure, elevation in boiling point, depression in freezing point and osmotic pressure. Lead storage battery and nickel cadmium cell are secondary batteries (cells). Galvanization involves coating of zinc on iron sheets. Radioactive decay is a first order reaction. Concentration of sulphide ore is done by froth floatation process. Monds process is used for refining of nickel.
