1. Water gas is a fuel gas that consists mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Water gas yields Hydrogen gas which is used in the preparation of organic compounds like Acetylene.
2. Plastics used in household items are mostly derived from petrochemicals. The most common synthetic plastic used in household items like pressure cookers is Bakelite. Other plastics include polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamides (nylons), polyesters and some polyurethanes.
3. Ethanol or ethyl alcohol (C₂H₅OH) is itself used as a solvent. It is a very polar molecule due to its hydroxyl (OH) group and non-polar due to its ethyl (C₂H₅) group. Thus, ethanol can dissolve both polar and non-polar substances. Ethanol is used as a solvent in medical drugs, perfumes, and vegetable essences such as vanilla. In organic synthesis, ethanol serves as versatile intermediate.
