Why does sodium carbonate affect pH?

Chemistry

Carbonate compounds have a negative valency (because they contain oxygen), so NaCO3 has a negative valency (it’s a negatively-charged ion) which makes it basic or alkaline.

What are the two types of collisions? What is the difference between them? Types: a. Types: b. Compare and contrast the two type
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The two types of collisions are :

Type a)

<u>Elastic collision</u>

Type b)

<u>Inelastic collision</u>

Explanation:

Collision : It is the event when two bodies collide with each other for small period of time.

During collision , the bodies exert force to each other.

Example :

When boxer hits with punches .

When bat hits the ball in cricket match.

So, collision is short duration interaction of two objects. When the objects collides , there is  change in their velocity.

All collision follow law of conservation of momentum . Their type is decided by , whether they follow conservation of energy also.

<u>Compare and contrast the two types</u>

a) Elastic collision : Those collision in which no loss or gain of kinetic energy will occur. They follow conservation of kinetic energy. Example : ideal gaseous molecule

b) Inelastic collision : Those collision in which Change in kinetic energy will occur. They do not follow conservation of kinetic energy.Almost all conservation are inelastic.

Here Kinetic energy get converted into other form of energy.

The enzyme, carbonic anhydrase, is a large zinc-containing protein with a molar mass of 3.00 x10^4 g/mol. Zn is 0.218% by mass o
tia_tia [17]

The mathematical expression for mass percent is given by:

Mass percent = \frac{mass of the compound}{molar mass of the compound}\times 100

Put the values,

0.218 percent of zinc = \frac{mass of zinc}{3.00 \times 10^{4} g/mol}\times 100

mass of zinc = 0.218 \times (3\times 100) g

= 0.654 \times 100 g or 65.4 g

Now, number of moles of zinc  =\frac{given mass in g}{molar mass of zinc}

= \frac{65.4 g}{65.38 g/mol}

= 1.00 mole

Number of atoms of zinc is calculated by the Avogadro number.

Now, according to mole concept

6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of enzyme consists of 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms of zinc

So, 1 molecule of enzyme contains  =\frac{6.022\times 10^{23}atoms of zinc}{6.022\times 10^{23} }

= 1 atom of zinc.

Hence, every carbonic anhydrase molecule consists of 1 atom of zinc.

Evidence for the existence of neutrons did not come until many years after the discoveries of the electron and the proton. Give
deff fn [24]

As there was no electric charge on neutrons, and they did not get affected by electromagnetic fields.

Explanation:

The functions of the neutron in atoms is:

To hold the nuclei with coulombic repulsion between the protons.

The neutron has no charge on it and hence were not discovered.

Its mass is slightly less than the proton.

It provides stability to the atom.

Lord Chadwick is credited to prove the existence and discovery of neutron.

He proved that the nucleus of the atom has its mass in the centre as neutron+ proton.

He bombarded beryllium with alpha particles, and found high energy radiation.
