NAME FORMULA

1) Water dihydrogen H2O We use water

monoxide throughout our
day and night; in
drinking,
cooking,
household
needs,
industries, and
agriculture.
Besides many
horrific tales
about volcanic
eruptions, they
are, in fact, very
beneficial for us;
as they provide
nutrients to the
surroundings
which contain
valuable
minerals that are
beneficial to
plants.
2) Table Salt Sodium chloride NaCl Despite all
common
household uses
of salt, it is also
used as a deicing
agent. It lowers
the freezing
point of water
and prevents it
from freezing.
3) Sugar Sucrose C12H22O11 Sucrose is the
common sugar
which again
forms the major
ingredient in
baking and
cooking. Apart
from enjoying
sucrose through
various desserts
and beverages,
they are
extensively used
in
pharmaceutical
industries,
where they act
as an additive in
medicinal drugs
(which taste
utterly terrible)
to make them
more palatable.
4) Baking sodium NaHCO3 It is used in
Powder bicarbonate (Sodium-bi- baking cakes and
carbonate ion) desserts. It is
also used in
neutralizing
stomach acidity.
Moreover, it can
be used as a
natural
deodorant.
5) chalk Calcium Carbonate CaCO3 Calcium
Carbonate
(CaCO3) is
naturally part of
egg. It is
contained at egg
shells, part of
hens’ eggs which
is not usually
eaten and used
in cooking.
 Sometimes, it
can be found in
toothpaste.
6) bleach Sodium NaClO Sodium
Hypochlorite Hypochlorite
(NaClO) is used
in bleaching
products used
for laundry.
NaClO is the very
common
domestic bleach.
7) Quartz Silica C9H8O4 Silica gel is a
crystal solid of
chemical SiO4.
Silica used as
beads packed in
vapor permeable
plastics and as a
desiccant in
product
packaging. As a
desiccant, it is
used to control
local humidity
inside product
packaging. This
organic
compound can
also be found in
some forms of
cat litter
products.
8) Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4) Acids also belong
Vitriol/Oil of to inorganic
Vitriol compounds. One
of easiest acid
that can be
found at home is
Sulphuric Acid
(H2SO4).
Formerly known
as vitriol, it is
used in lead-acid
batteries for cars
and other
vehicles. This
one examples of
Inorganic
Compounds
found at home.

9) Toothpaste sodium CaCO3 or NaF Toothpaste

fluorophosphate doesn’t only
make your teeth
white, it may
also be used in
multiple pays
such as; to
eliminate show
scuff and
cleaning
containers like
thermoses and
baby bottles. It is
a basic
compound
which reduces
the bacteria
present in our
mouth.
10) Mouthwash Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2 Mouth wash is
an antiseptic
solution which is
used to reduce
the antibacterial
load in our oral
cavity. Hydrogen
Peroxide is used
to kill bacteria,
soothes bleeding
gums, sore
throat and as a
teeth whitener.

since
childhood. It is
used to treat
pain, fever,
and
inflammations.
Acetylsalicylic
acid is the
