When a person has excess stomach acid, he or she may ingest some sodium bicarbonate. The rationale for doing this is that the so

dium bicarbonate is:
a base and will neutralize the excess acid
an acid and will weaken the excess acid
neutral and will dilute the excess acid
It will make the person thirsty; they will drink water and dilute the excess acid.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Sodium bicarbonate has molecular formula as NaHCO_{3}. It is basic in nature as it dissociates to give sodium and bicarbonate ions.

When excess of acid is formed in the stomach then it means there is increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions. So, when sodium bicarbonate is ingested then it will neutralize the excess of acid formed in the stomach.

Thus, we can conclude that the rationale for doing this is that the sodium bicarbonate is a base and will neutralize the excess acid.

In the electron cloud model, the electron cloud is denser in some locations than in others.
Sonbull [250]
<span>In the electron cloud model, the denser areas represent that there is a great probability that a good number of electrons are ganged up or crowded in that area. The electrons affect the density of some parts of the electron cloud when they condense in those locations.</span>

Answer:

A biology investigation usually starts with an observation—that is, something that catches the biologist’s attention. For instance, a cancer biologist might notice that a certain kind of cancer can't be treated with chemotherapy and wonder why this is the case. A marine ecologist, seeing that the coral reefs of her field sites are bleaching—turning white—might set out to understand why.

How do biologists follow up on these observations? How can you follow up on your own observations of the natural world? In this article, we’ll walk through the scientific method, a logical problem-solving approach used by biologists and many other scientists.

Mass defect is associated with: nuclear fusion nuclear fission radioactive decay mass lost by nuclear collisions
Kay [80]
I would say mass lost by nuclear collisions. The mass defect is the mass difference between the mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the mass of its constituent particles. It equals the energy given off in the formation of the nucleus.
