Alcohol-Vodka is a liquor.

It is distilled from a variety of grains (not potatoes, or at least, not usually) to a


beverage that has between 40 and 50% alcohol by volume. It’s generally clear and doesn’t have a particular
flavor that is associated with it. Sometimes it tastes a little sweet, but that’s probably because of the alcohol
content. Generally it’s considered to be a “neutral” spirit.

Carboxylic acid-Aspirin is another name for acetylsalicylic acid, a common pain reliever (also called an analgesic).
The earliest known uses of the drug can be traced back to the Greek physician Hippocrates in the fifth century BC. He
used powder taken from the bark of willows to treat pain and lower fever.

Ketones-Paint is used to protect all sorts of buildings and structures from the effects of water and sun.
Wooden buildings such as houses are usually painted because a coat of paint prevents water seeping into the
wood and making it rot. The paint also helps to prevent the wood from drying out in the hot sun.

Ester-. A detergent is a chemical substance you use to break up and remove grease and grime, while soap is
simply one kind of detergent. Soap has a long history and was originally made from purely natural products
like goat's fat and wood ash. Today, detergents are more likely to be a mixture of synthetic chemicals and
additives cooked up in a huge chemical plant and, unlike traditional soap, they're generally liquids rather than
solids. Detergents are used in everything from hair shampoo and clothes washing powder to shaving foam and
stain removers. The most important ingredients in detergents are chemicals called surfactants—a word made
from bits of the words surface active agents.

Aldehyde- a mixture of fragrant essential oils or aroma compounds, fixatives and solvents, used to give the
human body, animals, food, objects, and living-spaces an agreeable scent.[1] It is usually in liquid form and used to
give a pleasant scent to a person's body. Ancient texts and archaeological excavations show the use of perfumes in
some of the earliest human civilizations. Modern perfumery began in the late 19th century with the commercial
synthesis of aroma compounds such as vanillin or coumarin, which allowed for the composition of perfumes with
smells previously unattainable solely from natural aromatics alone.
