II.Industrial Applications
1. Colorants
You may be familiar with dyes and pigments used in industries like textiles, paints, and
ceramics. Pigments are insoluble compounds, meaning they are colorful particles that do not
fully dissolve. Think of it like muddy water – you can mix dirt and water together to make a
muddy brown color, but if you let the water sit, all the particles separate and sink to the
bottom of the cup. Dyes, on the other hand, are soluble compounds, which mean they
dissolve in water.

Es posible que esté familiarizado con los tintes y pigmentos utilizados en industrias como textiles,
pinturas y cerámicas. Los pigmentos son compuestos insolubles, lo que significa que son partículas
coloridas que no se disuelven por completo. Piense en ello como agua fangosa: puede mezclar la
suciedad y el agua para hacer un color marrón fangoso, pero si deja que el agua se siente, todas las
partículas se separan y se hunden en el fondo de la taza. Los colorantes, por otro lado, son
compuestos solubles, lo que significa que se disuelven en agua.

2. Agriculture
Farming or agriculture are huge industrial applications of chemistry. Without synthetic
fertilizers and other useful agricultural chemicals, it would be difficult for us to grow as many
crops as we do around the world! Plant roots need specific nutritional elements from the soil,
which can be provided by multi-nutrient. There are many different types of fertilizers – farmers
choose which type of fertilizer they need to use based on what nutrients their crops need.
Farming techniques depend on a wide variety of chemical agents to feed the world.

La agricultura o la agricultura son enormes aplicaciones industriales de la química. Sin fertilizantes

sintéticos y otros productos químicos agrícolas útiles, ¡sería difícil para nosotros cultivar tantos
cultivos como lo hacemos en todo el mundo! Las raíces de las plantas necesitan elementos
nutricionales específicos del suelo, que pueden ser proporcionados por múltiples nutrientes. Hay
muchos tipos diferentes de fertilizantes: los agricultores eligen qué tipo de fertilizante necesitan usar
en función de los nutrientes que necesitan sus cultivos.
Las técnicas agrícolas dependen de una amplia variedad de agentes químicos para alimentar al
mundo.

3. Food
Food chemistry helps us understand how to process and preserve our foods without spoiling
it. Such methods include dehydration or freezing foods for proper food storage.
Chemical applications are also used for the makings of vitamins, food coloring, and flavoring.

La química de los alimentos nos ayuda a entender cómo procesar y conservar nuestros alimentos sin
estropearlos. Tales métodos incluyen deshidratación o congelación de alimentos para el
almacenamiento adecuado de alimentos.
Las aplicaciones químicas también se utilizan para la fabricación de vitaminas, colorantes alimentarios
y saborizantes.

4. Soaps & Cleaners

Another industrial application of chemistry is the manufacturing of soaps and cleaners, many
of which you likely have in your own home! Soaps are made from natural animal fats and
vegetable. Soaps are one type of cleaner, but there are many other types that use different
ingredients and processes for different applications in which dirt needs to be removed.
Without the chemistry involved to make specific soaps and cleaners, we would not have
products for cleaning.

¡Otra aplicación industrial de la química es la fabricación de jabones y limpiadores, muchos de los

cuales es probable que tenga en su propia casa! Los jabones están hechos de grasas animales
naturales y vegetales. Los jabones son un tipo de limpiador, pero hay muchos otros tipos que utilizan
diferentes ingredientes y procesos para diferentes aplicaciones en las que la suciedad necesita ser
eliminada.
Sin la química involucrada para hacer jabones y limpiadores específicos, no tendríamos productos
para la limpieza.

III. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALL THESE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF

CHEMISTRY, WHICH ONE DO YOU CONSIDER IS MORE IMPORTANT
ACCORDING TO YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OR INTEREST?

I believe that of all the applications of industrial chemistry, the one that interests me
the most now is the application to soaps and cleaners, this because I will have to carry
out my practices in a company, which is dedicated exclusively to the manufacture of
soaps and cleaners. Therefore, I am much more interested in this application.
