industrial chemical synthesis C6 OCR
  1. we depend daily on chemicals
    1. chemical synthesis
      1. is the process by which raw materials are made into useful products.
        1. such as
          1. food additives
            1. colouring
              1. flavouring
                1. perservatives
                2. Cleaning and decorating products
                  1. paints
                    1. dyes
                      1. pigments

                              1. industry is huge
                            3. all these chemical industries are passed through many processes of testing and development
                              1. Also, figuring out how to make chemicals in a way that produce the highest yield
                                1. they do this by controlling the rate of reaction
                                  1. Also, they think about the environment
                                    1. Choosing the process with a low impact
                                2. Fertilisers
                                  1. we use about million tones every years.
