hypochlorous acid formula

Let us learn about hypochlorous acid formula

Hydrofluoric acid has the chemical formula that is HF. Hydro fluoric acid is referred as the mixture of Hydrogen fluoride in water. In many reactions, it has been seen which Hydrogen Fluoride is extremely corrosive in nature. Hydrofluoric acid is weak acid. Many chemists say that Hydrogen fluoride in its aqueous form produced Hydro fluoric acid. Hydro fluoric acid is always composed of diatomic Hydrogen & Fluorine atoms. Hydrofluoric acid is reactive towards glass compounds that are why it is kept in containers or bottles made of Polyethylene and Teflon.

Hypochlorous acid formula = HClO

anaerobic respiration

let us learn about anaerobic respiration

Anaerobic respiration always releases less energy; it meets the requirements of the microbes growing in anaerobic conditions. Fermentation is a commercially very important method.

Anaerobic respiration is used in the following processes:

  • To manufacture of alcohol
  • Curing of tobacco, tea leaves, etc.
  • Anaerobic respiration is used in formation of curd from milk
  • To manufacture of vinegar, an industrially very important compound.

types of immunity

Let us learn about types of immunity

Immunity is referred as a biological term which describes a state of having sufficient biological defenses to avoid infection, disease, or other unwanted biological invasion. Immunity includes both specific & non-specific components. The non-specific components act either as eliminators or as barriers or of wide range of pathogens irrespective of antigenic specificity. The immune systems adapt themselves to each new disease encountered & are able to generate pathogen-specific immunity

Acquired immunity is further of 2 types - natural or active and artificial or passive

Artificially Acquired Passive Immunity

Artificially Acquired Active Immunity

Naturally Acquired Passive Immunity

Naturally Acquired Active Immunity

filtration process

Let us learn about water filtration process.

The filtration process involves the flow of water through a granular bed, of sand or another suitable media, at a low speed. The medium retains most solid matter while permitting the water to pass. The filtration process is usually repeated to ensure adequate removal of unwanted particles in the water. This type of slow filtration over a granular bed is basically called as slow sand filtration. It is the oldest technique of filtration but still widely used in municipal water treatment plants today.

Once water has been collected from its natural setting, it is brought to a treatment plant to undergo coagulation, a process which removes dirt & other particles in the water. Chemicals are added in to the water to help those substances collect & stick together. Once these particles are collected in the water, they become heavy & sink to the bottom of a sediment tank. The clean water then moves further along the filtration process. The water passes through filters which helps remove even more dirt & particles. For good health, small amounts of chlorine & other disinfectants are used to kill any bacteria or microorganisms that present in the water. Water is stored in a sanitary tank or reservoir for storage & any further sanitation. From there, the water flows through large pipes to homes & businesses throughout the community.

crystalline solids

Let us learn about crystalline solids

Crystalline solids are referred as a class of solids which have regular or nearly regular crystalline structures.  Atoms in crystalline solids are arranged in an orderly manner.
 
Best Examples of crystalline solids are sugar candy, sugar, or rock candy.
 
Sugar powder which is solid but is not considered crystalline consists of small invisible grains which can be heated up and converted to visible sugar crystal or to larger rock candy crystals. The crystalline nature of rock candy makes it transparent whereas power sugar from that it was made & has the same sugar molecules is opaque.
 

Crystalline solids have always sharp melting points, indicating the presence of a long range order arrangement in them. The long-range order is because to the regular arrangement of the constituent’s molecules, atoms or ions throughout the 3 dimensional networks of crystals.

maxwell distribution

Let us learn about maxwell distribution

The Maxwell distribution is referred as a probability distribution with applications in physics & chemistry. Maxwell distribution forms the basis of the kinetic theory of gases that explains many fundamental gas properties, including diffusion & pressure. The Maxwell distribution is also used in electron transport & other phenomena.

The Maxwell distribution can be derived using statistical mechanics. Maxwell distribution corresponds to the most probable energy distribution, in a collisionally-dominated system consisting of a large number of non-interacting particles in that quantum effects are negligible. Therefore, interactions between the molecules in a gas are generally quite small; the Maxwell distribution provides a good approximation of the conditions in a gas.

contact forces

Let us learn about contact forces

Contact forces are referred as a force between two objects which are in contact with each other. This is distinct from an action-at-a-distance force or non-contact force such as gravity or magnetic attraction/repulsion. Contact forces exist in equal & opposite pairs, by Newton's third law.

Contact force is a force that can cause or change motion of an object by touching it. Motors, levers, gears, & fluid power all operate through contact forces

Contact Forces defines that a force arises on an object because it is in physical contact with another object.
