The Hydrogen and Its Compounds – Applications section highlights how hydrogen and its important compounds are used in industry, laboratory work, environmental management, energy systems, and daily life. This module is designed for Class 11–12 students, undergraduate learners, and competitive exam aspirants, helping connect theoretical concepts with real-world chemical applications.

In this section, you will explore:

• Industrial applications of hydrogen – ammonia synthesis (Haber process), petroleum refining, and hydrogenation of oils

• Hydrogen as a clean fuel – fuel cells, rocket propulsion, and future energy systems

• Applications of hydrides – reducing agents, hydrogen storage materials, and desiccants

• Water applications – solvent properties, industrial cooling, steam generation, and hardness control

• Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) – bleaching, antiseptic use, wastewater treatment, and oxidizing agent in synthesis

• Laboratory applications – preparation, purification, and analytical uses of hydrogen and its compounds

• Environmental applications – role of hydrogen in green chemistry and pollution control

• Safety and handling considerations for hydrogen and hydrogen-containing compounds

• NCERT- and UG-aligned explanations, supported by reaction equations, flow diagrams, MCQs, and application-based questions

The content is structured to enhance practical relevance, build industrial awareness, and prepare students for application-based questions in exams and practicals.

Develop a practical understanding of Hydrogen and Its Compounds to appreciate their central role in modern industry, energy sustainability, and daily life.
