Difference Between Limestone and Dolomite
Limestone vs Dolomite Both limestone and dolomite are types of rock made of carbonate residues. The patterns of the way they behave chemically are almost the same with varied intensities. However, the structure and the formation of these rocks are quite different. Limestone Limestone mainly consists of two types of minerals; namely, calcite and aragonite. These […]
Difference Between Formaldehyde and Paraformaldehyde
Formaldehyde vs Paraformaldehyde Formaldehyde is a basic organic chemical compound that can be made into different formulations. Paraformaldehyde is one such type, where it relies on the basic building blocks of formaldehyde but is different in structure. These varied formaldehyde formulations are commercially known in various terms and are used for different purposes depending […]
Difference Between Formalin and Formaldehyde
Formalin vs Formaldehyde Chemically, both formalin and formaldehyde refer to the same active compound, but they differ in the formulation. Formaldehyde acts as the basic chemical, but its name has attracted many synonyms to follow. Starting from its chemical systematic name which is ‘methanal’, it is also known as; Formalin, Formic Aldehyde, Paraform, Formol, […]
Difference Between Deflagration and Detonation
Deflagration vs Detonation Both of these are types of exothermic processes occurring in slightly different natures. The term ‘exothermic’ refers to the release of energy to the surrounding. Both deflagration and detonation are ways of how the flow of heat and energy is being directed when dealing with combusting reactions. Combustion is a “chemical […]
Difference Between Folate and Folic Acid
Folate vs Folic Acid Chemically, both folic acid and folate might sound more or less the same as folate is the ionized form of the acid after losing a proton making it a carboxylate anion. However, this distinction between folic acid and folate is more of a biological nature. Here both these are referred […]
