1.     Chemistry is an integral part of everyday life. Whether it is the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the drugs we consume or the cosmetics we apply- there is chemistry in it. A general information of the chemistry behind these will create an awareness as to what is good and what is bad and to be discarded. For example, we come across a myriad of cosmetic products, which claim to increase our quality of life and well being. But in reality are they as advantageous as they claim to be? An insight into the processes involved in their production will give us ample information regarding these. Similarly we can also gather information as to what is the difference between the various types of soaps, their mode of action, why the disparity in their prices and why soaps are preferred over detergents. Likewise, a student can also become enlightened about the pros and cons of using processed food stuff, which is in vogue today. The above mentioned points are some of the benefits a student who opts to study this subject offered as a common course will receive.
