The pH of milk lowers as it turns into curd due to the formation of lactic acid.

Fresh milk is considered to be slightly acidic, having a pH lower than 7. Milk is converted into curd, the thickened or solid part of milk after the milk sours, through the process of fermentation. The lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, converts lactose or the sugar present in milk into lactic acid, causing the milk to taste sour. The increase in the concentration of lactic acid results in the increase of hydronium ions which lowers the pH of the milk.

Answer: The fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus is 0.99

Explanation:

Nucleons are defined as the sub-atomic particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom. Nucleons are protons and neutrons.

The isotopic symbol of Helium-4 atom is $_2^4\textrm{He}$

Number of electrons = 2

Number of protons = 2

Number of neutrons = 4 - 2 = 2

We are given:

Mass of He-4 atom = $6.64648\times 10^{-24}g$

Mass of 1 electron = $9.10939\times 10^{-28}g$

Calculating the mass contributed by the nucleus = $m_{He}-2(m_e)$

Mass of the nucleus of He-4 atom = $6.64648\times 10^{-24}-(2\times (9.10939\times 10^{-28}))=(6.64648-0.0018219)\times 10^{-24}=6.64466\times 10^{-24}$

To calculate the fraction of atom's mass contributed by the nucleus, we use the equation:

$\text{Fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus}=\frac{\text{Mass of nucleus}}{\text{Mass of atom}}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus}=\frac{6.64466\times 10^{-24}g}{6.64648\times 10^{-24}g}=0.99$

Hence, the fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus is 0.99

What’s the difference between attractive forces and covalent bonds

Scrat [10]

Answer:

An intramolecular force is between that atoms makeup a molecule. An intermolecular force is between entire molecules. A non-polar covalent bond occurs when the electrons are equally shared between atoms.
