Sodium hydroxide is one of the most commonly used chemicals. It is one of the strongest alkalies, also known as lye or caustic soda. It is a highly reactive component. It dissolves in water with the generation of greater amount of heat that may ignite combustible substances nearby, or may result in physical destruction.

While handling the chemical, proper precaution should be taken mainly in the possibility of the chemical to come in contact with the eyes, as the chemcial can go deep through the eyes. One of the most potent signs of eye injury due to caustic soda is destruction of the cornea accompanied by loss of usual vision and clouding.

This can even result in certain eye conditions, like cataract and glaucoma. The clouding and ulceration in the eye may result in permanent blindness.

When Lactate Builds Up In A Runner's Muscles, It Causes A Burning Sensation. What Causes This To Occur?
Fantom [35]

One of the most general forms of discomfort or pain one feels at the time of strenous work out is a burning sensation in the muscles or lungs, which goes away after some time, that is, after stopping the activity. This is a result of an accumulation of lactic acid.

Lactic acid is a by-product of the procedure the body goes through when it requires to generate energy more briskly that it does usually, like when one exercises.

The muscles functioning generally produce energy aerobically, that is, by using oxygen, however, when one push himself or herself at the time of workout and enough oxygen is not accessible, then these muscles start producing energy anaerobically, resulting in production of lactic acid as a by-product and ultimately causing burning sensation.

(04.03 HC)A scientist records the populations of two species over a period of time.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The likely explanation is that population 1 had traits which were more favorable to its survival than population 2's in the new conditions.  It wouldn't have to do with food competition, but the traits they already have that may or may not be conducive to their survival in the new conditions.

Explanation:

Let me explain. Say a drought occurred on an island. Population 2 relied on eating bugs that lived in the green grasses. Population 1 relied on eating cactus fruit, which is drought-resistant. Say that because of the drought, population 2 started to decrease since there were less bugs to eat because the grasses dried up. Population 1 is unaffected because the bugs they eat were still in abundance.

This all has to do with the concept of natural selection. Species with traits that are good for their environment will likely do well unless a change in conditions occurs which makes their traits no longer favorable.

Hope that makes sense!
