Answer:

The different categories of organic compounds, which are malleable, lipophilic, and solids at the suitable temperatures are known as waxes. They comprise lipids, and higher alkanes, generally with the melting points of above 40 degree Celsius. The waxes are not soluble in water, however, are soluble in nonpolar and organic solvents.  

Wax can be harmful if it is not used appropriately on the basis of the instructions given by the manufacturer. A wax, which is meant for the external purpose should be not consumed by anyhow, as it may result in lead poisoning and even other kinds of stomach-associated illness stimulated by the chemicals used in in the generation of wax.

GEORGEOCTOBER 18, 2012Floor Wax is Harmful to the Environment

Floor wax is applied on floor surfaces to make it scuff-resistant, water-resistant, slip resistant and glossy. It provides a thin, protective and hard surface layer when applied to flooring. Conventional floor wax has five main ingredients and each one of them has detrimental effects on the environment, not to mention the chemical waste created by the continuous upkeep required. The cumulative effects of these ingredients on the environmental render their harmful actions more potent and difficult to reverse.

If you complete and balance the following oxidation-reduction reaction in basic solution NO2−(aq) + Al(s) → NH3(aq) + Al(OH)4−(a
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

NO2- + 5H2O + 2Al + OH- → NH3 + 2Al(OH)4-

There is 1 hydroxide ion, on the reactant side

Explanation:

NO2−(aq) + Al(s) → NH3(aq) + Al(OH)4−(aq)

Step 1: The half reactions

NO2- (aq) → NH3(g)

Al(s) → Al(OH)4-

<u>Step 2: </u>Balancing electrons

NO2- → NH3

On the left side N has an oxidation number of +3 and on the right side -3.

NO2- +6e-→ NH3

Al(s) → Al(OH)4-

On the left side, Al has an oxidation number of 0 and on the right side +3.

Al(s) → Al(OH)4- +3e-

To have the same amount of electrons transfered, we have to multiply the second reaction by 2

NO2- +6e-→ NH3

2(Al(s) → Al(OH)4- +6e-)

<u>Step 3:</u> Balance with OH/H2O

NO2- +6e +5H2O → NH3 +7OH-

2Al +8OH- → 2Al(OH)4- + 6e-

<u>Step 4:</u> The netto reaction

NO2- + 5H2O + 2Al + 8OH-  → NH3 +7OH- + 2Al(OH)4-

NO2- + 5H2O + 2Al + OH- → NH3 + 2Al(OH)4-

There is 1 hydroxide ion, on the reactant side

Mitochondria also contain a double-membrane with the inner membrane folding to form cristae. Also known as the powerhouse, mitochondria.

Conditions inside lysosomes have been shown to be acidic. These conditions are maintained by the lysosome membrane thus providing favorable conditions.


Specifically, ribosomes bind to messenger RNA, abbreviated mRNA. The ribosome reads a series of nucleotide bases in groups of three called codons.
