solubility curves

Let us learn about solubility curves

a) Solubility curves give a general idea about the ability of a solute to dissolve in water, at different temperatures.

b) The solubility of the solute at any temperature, between the mentioned highest & lowest temperatures, can be more or less accurately read.

c) The mass of crystals deposited, when a saturated solution cooled from a higher to a lower temperature& can be calculated.

Best Example

As per the given graph, the solubility of potassium nitrate at 60oC= 110 g and at 50oC = 91 g.

Therefore, by cooling a saturated solution of potassium nitrate containing 100 g of water from 60oC to 50oC, 19 g of the solute (110 g - 91 g) is deposited in the form of crystals.

guttation

Let us learn about guttation

Guttation is referred as the appearance of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, best example grasses. Guttation is not to be confused with dew that condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface.

The loss of excess water in liquid drops from margins of leaves of plants, when root pressure is high & transpiration is low.

  • This method is very common during warm humid nights.
  • This method occurs in plants growing in high soil moisture.
  • Guttation occurs through specialized pores known as hydathodes present near the vein endings.

water absorption

Let us learn about water absorption

The quantity of water absorbed by a composite material, when immersed in water occurs for a stipulated period of time. The ratio of weighted water absorbed by a material so to the weight of the dry materials. All organic polymeric materials will fascinate moisture to some extent resulting in swelling, leaching, dissolving, plasticizing and/or hydrolyzing, events which can result in discoloration, embitterment, loss of mechanical and electrical properties, lower resistance to heat and weathering and stress cracking

Water absorption is used to determine the quantity of water absorbed under specified conditions. Factors affecting water absorption consist: type of plastic, additives used, temperature & length of exposure. The data sheds light on the implementation of the materials in water or humid environments.

Oxygen is a reactive oxidizing agent.

Its Para magnetism is very strong.

Liquid oxygen is also considered as slightly paramagnetic.

Ozone is a highly reactive & powerful reactive agent. Oxygen gas is a colorless, odorless gas with the molecular formula O2, in which the 2 oxygen atoms are chemically bonded to each other. Oxygen has atomic number eight & it is represented by the symbol O. Oxygen is a member of the halogens group on the periodic table, & it is a highly reactive nonmetallic period 2 element which readily forms compounds with almost all other elements. Atomic Number of oxygen: 8 Atomic Radius: 66 pm Atomic Symbol: O Melting Point of oxygen: -218.79 C Atomic Weight of oxygen: 15.9994 Boiling Point of oxygen: -182.95

amorphous carbon

Let us learn about amorphous carbon

Amorphous carbon reactive carbon is an allotrope of carbon which does not have any crystalline structure. As with all glassy materials, certain short-range order can be observed. Amorphous carbon is frequently abbreviated to aC for general amorphous carbon, aC:H for hydrogenated amorphous carbon, or to ta-C for tetrahedral amorphous carbon

Amorphous forms of carbons includes of coal, charcoal & carbon black. Millions of years ago, due to geographical changes, plants were buried under the earth crust. High temperature & absence of air converted them to coal is a complex material consisting mainly of hydrocarbons & other organic compounds. Amorphous carbon contains 60 to 90% carbon together, oxygen. Nitrogen, sulphur, aluminium & silicon when coal is heated at high temperature, it decomposes producing a variety of gases and liquid products. The mixture of gases that are largely methane, hydrogen & carbon monoxide is known as coal gas & the mixture of liquids containing hydrocarbons other organic compounds is known as coal tar. The solid residue left during this process is known as coke. It contains 90 to 95% carbon.

coelenterata

Let us learn about coelenterata

Coelenterata is referred as an obsolete long term encompassing 2 animal phyla, the Ctenophora & the Cnidaria. Coelenterate comes from the Greek word "koilos” referring to the hollow body cavity common to these 2 phyla. Coelenterata have very simple tissue organization, with only 2 layers of cells, external & internal.

The term coelenterate is recognized as scientifically valid, as the Cnidaria & Ctenophora have placed at equal rank under the Metazoa with the other phyla of animals. Cnidaria means "to sting" A single term encompassing these 2 phyla but leaving out all others of equal rank would be considered polyphyletic. However, the term coelenterate is used in informal settings to refer to the Cnidaria & Ctenophora.

aldehyde oxidation

Let us learn about aldehyde oxidation

An aldehyde is refereed as an organic compound containing a formyl group. This functional group, with the structure R-CHO, includes a carbonyl centre bonded to hydrogen & an R group. Aldehydes are commonly engendered by alcohol oxidation.

Many aldehydes are used in large-scale industrial materials, perfume ingredients, useful as solvents, monomers, & intermediates

Ketones are not oxidized under these situations as they lack the critical H for the elimination to occur. Aldehydes can be generated by oxidation of primary alcohols. Aldehydes are oxidized only to carboxylic acids

polar and nonpolar covalent bonds

Let us learn about polar and nonpolar covalent bonds

Covalent bond is a bond in that the electrons are shared by the partner atoms.
 
Polar bond is simply a type of covalent bond in that the electrons are
shared but not equally. 

The greater the electro negativity difference, the more ionic the bond is. Bonds which are partly ionic are said to be polar covalent bonds.

Nonpolar covalent bonds Cl-Cl. since the 2 atoms are identical, they will share electrons equally.

Polar covalent bonds: H-O-H oxygen is an "electron hog" & so the electrons will spend more time with the oxygen than with the hydrogen, sharing unequally.

s element

Let us learn about s element

The s- Block Elements of the periodic table of elements consists of the 1st 2 groups, the alkali metals & alkaline earth metals + hydrogen & helium.

The d block elements fall between the p block & the s block. They share the common characteristics in which the d sublevel of the atom is being filled

The s- Block Elements or metals such as Na and Ca have s electrons which are easily lost, but the ionization energies of the inner electrons are very high that they are never lost in chemical reactions. Hence the oxidation number of sodium is always +1 & calcium is always +2

Respiratory Quotient: RQ is the sum of carbon dioxide produced by an organism in a given time divided by the sum of oxygen consumed at the same time. Different respiratory substrates the organic substance that is used to produce respiration different values for the respiratory quotient.

RQ= Amount (Volume) of carbon dioxide evolved

Amount (Volume) of oxygen absorbed

RQ = 2co2 = Infinity (R)

oo2

The ratio of the amount (volume) of carbon dioxide released to the volume of oxygen consumed by a living body tissue or an organism in a given duration.

animalia

Let us learn about animalia

The original Animal Kingdom proposed by Linnaeus included the sponges, jelly fishes, worms, crabs, insects, protozoans, spiders, snails, starfishes, sharks, bony fishes, frogs, lizards, birds & mammals too. Animalia is an illustrated kid's book by Graeme Base. Animalia was published in 1986.

The animal body basically exhibits a definite symmetry form & shape.

  • Animals have the ability to move from place to place in search of their necessities.
  • Growth & development in animals is determined & occurs proportionately in all parts of the body.
  • Animals are generally heterotrophic, depends on plants & other animals for food
  • Animals have the property of irritability - the ability to respond to a stimulus.
  • The cells, that form an animal's body, do not have a cell wall. Plastids & vacuoles are basically absent & centrioles & lysosomes are present.
  • Animal cells cannot synthesize all the necessary vitamins, amino acids, & coenzymes & as such will have to obtain them from external sources.
  • Store food is glycogen.
