For many, weekdays are almost monotonous: home, work, home ... And often this drives people into depression, because there is a lack of some variety, events, adventures, something interesting! But in fact, millions of events and various interesting phenomena occur around us every day, which we do not pay attention to not only because we are inattentive, but because the human eye simply does not see it.

For example, various chemical processes are constantly taking place around us. This is an illusion that chemistry is something complex and incomprehensible. In fact, chemistry is a part of our life, without which a person's life would not just be much more boring, but impossible at all.

Amazing facts about chemistry:

1. The soap bubble is the thinnest matter that the human eye can see. The soap bubble bursts in 0.001 seconds. At the same time, if you inflate a bubble of -15 C^o, it will freeze in contact with the surface, and at -25 C^o- will freeze in the air and break on impact.

2. The waters of the ocean contain gold. For every ton of ocean water, there are 7 milligrams of gold.

3. During the flight, the aircraft use up to 75 tons of oxygen, this amount of oxygen produces 30,000 hectares of forest.

4. Iron can be turned into a gas at a temperature of 1539 C⁰.

5. Every living organism on our planet contains protein, but in different ratios. The human brain is also a protein.

6. The lethal dose of methyl alcohol is 30 ml, while the antidote is ethyl alcohol.

7. Metal does not smell. Everyone knows the smell of unprocessed (not painted) metal, so smell, for example, metal money, railings, old swings, rebar or just a piece of metal. But this smell is not emitted by the metal itself, it is the result of the contact of metal with organic matter, for example, with our palm or finger, which secretes sweat.

8. Tomatoes are very intelligent plants, they know how to shout "SOS!" The moment an insect – for example, a caterpillar – begins to gnaw on a tomato leaf, it releases a chemical with a certain smell that attracts birds.

9. Charles Goodyear is a scientist who accidentally invented a rubber that does not melt in the heat and does not break in the cold. He forgot to remove the mixture of sulfur and rubber from the included plate, so the process of making rubber, which was called vulcanization, was invented.

10. In the human brain, about 100 thousand chemical reactions occur every minute.

Chemistry constantly surrounds us. It is not only around us, but also inside our body, and even our thought process is, in fact, chemistry. So chemistry helps us not only to learn a lot of interesting and surprising things, but also brings us benefit in all senses.
