Answer: Carbonic acid occurs naturally in the body and performs important regulatory functions.

Explanation: Carbonic acid ( H_2CO_3 ) is an acid formed from the carbon dioxide present in the body. It is also known as the respiratory acid as it helps in the transport of carbon dioxide in the body.

With the help of enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase, carbon dioxide is converted into carbonic acid. This acid is an unstable intermediate which gets dissociated into bicarbonate ions ( HCO_3^- ) and H^+ ions. immediatley.

Therefore, Carbonic acid performs important regulatory functions in the body.

7) Sodium is much more apt to exist as a cation than chlorine because: a) chlorine is a gas and sodium is a solid b) chlorine ha
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Option (d) chlorine has a greater ionization energy than sodium

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion. Sodium has just 1 electron in it's outmost shell and chlorine has 7.

Sodium needs 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration and chlorine needs just 1.

Sodium can not attract 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration instead it will easily lose the 1 electron in it's outmost shell to form cation. On the other hand, it will be difficult for chlorine to lose any of it's outmost electrons. This makes chlorine to have higher ionization energy than sodium.

Answer:

Acid - A compound that increases hydrogen ions (H+) when it is dissolved in a solution

pH - A value from 0 to 14 that is used to specify how acidic or basic a compound is when it is dissolved in water

Base - A compound that increases hydroxide ions (OH−) when it is dissolved in a solution

1. The following are statements about flames some of them are true while others are
hoa [83]

Answer:

i)The carbon particles are formed when the gas is not completely burnt(True)

ii)A solid or liquid must be change to gaseous state in order to make flame(TRUE)

iii)A non- luminous Bunsen flame produces has three visible regions(FALSE)

iv)The luminous Bunsen flame produces less soot than the non- luminous flame(FALSE)

v)A yellow Bunsen flame is obtained when the air holes are opened(FALSE)

vi)The luminous Bunsen flame is hotter than a non- luminous Bunsen flame(FALSE)

vii)Bunsen burner uses kerosene as a source of heat(FALSE)

Explanation:

i)When the incomplete combustion ,then CO(carbon monoxide) and C(carbon) are produced. <u>The unburnt carbon get deposited as</u><u> Soot</u>.

In complete combustion CO2(carbon dioxide) is produced.

ii)Fire, is the mixture of hot gases.Flame are result of chemical reaction between oxygen and fuel(e.g butane ,wood).Flame contain,carbon dioxide , heat ,light,steam.

iii)There are total three regions of flame in which the outer most region is the non-luminous .The non-luminous part is <u>blue(one visible region</u>) and does not emit-light.

iv) Luminous Bunsen flame produces more soot than the non- luminous flame because luminous flame contain more unburnt particles as compare to non-luminous.

luminous part has less oxygen available for complete combustion of fuel

v)When the air hole is open it means excess oxygen is supplied to the fuel.

In this case clean and luminous flame is produced.When air hole is close yellow flame is produced.

vi)Non-luminous part of flame is more hot because of complete combustion due to proper availability  of oxygen. Sometime the particle of non-luminous flame get ionize also.

vii).The bunsen burner uses Natural gas(methane) or LPG(propane and butane)as sources of heat because these are easily burnt not kerosene.

Why is not used at nuclear plant as a soverce for electrical energy
nikitadnepr [17]
The biggest reason is radioactive wastes. Nuclear power generated radioactive wastes like Uranimum, plutonium and amercium that inhibits gene expression and causes cancer to the environment. Nuclear plants use to release these wastes into the oceans, and it causes fishes to exhibit gender change, 3 eyes, 2 tails etc. The impact on human shows signs of serious blood, liver and lung cancers. 

There are currently no way to get rid of these wastes as they take hundred thousands of years to decompose. 

Another reason is they cause a small amount of green gas emission. Releases CO2 to the sky. They exhibit radioactive gas emission as well (causes cancer) .
