METHYL ISOCYANATE (BHOPAL DISASTER CHEMICAL EQUATION )

Bhopal disaster was occurred by one simple chemical reaction in methyl isocyanate storage tank . (note-MIC-METHYL ISOCYANATE) MIC is used for the production of carbamate pesticides and also rubber and adhesives. MIC is a colorless liquid and pungent order . it's boiling point is 38.3 degree Celsius (100.9 F) approximately our body higher temperature . MIC is reacted with water ,this leads to formation of 1,3 dimethyl urea and carbon dioxide with evolution of heat . this reaction is continued, this leads to increases the temperature of MIC stored tank . at that temperature all MIC was transforming liquid to gas form . slowly MIC gas was evolved out through the smoke Aerial tower . because of high molecular weight of the MIC and high denser than the air ,it starts spread lower feet to ground . this two things only kills the lacks of people .1) is reaction with water 2.) is high molecular weight of gas.

CHEMISTRY OF VISION

this article tells about how we are able to see an objects in our eyes by chemistry aspect .the process of vision is mainly caused by photo chemical reaction . naturally we have retinal ( vitamin A) in our eyes in the cis form , one of the protein also have in our body called opsin that is helpful in conversion of cis retinal to trans retinal . when hitting a light radiation in complex of 11-cis retinal and opsin ,this leads to conversion of cis retinal to trans retinal . trans retinal is helpful to sending images to brain by photo chemical signal. that's why we are able to see. the systematic reaction shows in above picture
