Why is it necessary to rinse the inside of erlenmeyer flask with di water periodically?

Hi there!

It is necessary to rinse the inside of an Erlenmeyer flask with deionized water periodically to wash the flask without adding ions which could affect the titration. 

If you wash an Erlenmeyer flask with regular tap water, you are adding ions, like sodium or chlorine, which could make you miss the equivalence point by only tenths of mL (that's a big difference when titrating). This is why when washing you use deionized water to clean the flask while ensuring that your titration is accurate.

Have a good day!

How do you use relative dating in a sentence
gavmur [86]
Relative dating is used to arrange geological events, and the rocks they leave behind, in a sequence. The method of reading the order is called stratigraphy (layers of rock are called strata). Relative dating does not provide actual numerical dates for the rocks.

Answer: Cellular respiration is the process by which microorganisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates. They take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrate and release the energy. The energy is generally not needed immediately, so it is used to combine ADP with phosphate ions to form ATP molecules. During the process of cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is given off as a waste product. This carbon dioxide can be used by photosynthesizing cells to form new carbohydrates. Also in the process of cellular respiration, oxygen gas is required to serve as an acceptor of electrons. This oxygen gas is identical to the oxygen gas given off in photosynthesis.

Active and passive immunity involves all of the following except receiving mother's antibodies through breast-feeding. exposure
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

Immunity is the ability of an animal to resist infection.

There are two types of immunity in the body; INNATE OR INHERITED IMMUNITY AND ACQUIRED IMMUNITY. Inherited immunity it is the type of immunity that one is born with. It is passed from parent to offspring.

Acquired immunity is immunity to particular infections that is not inherited but has developed in the animal's life as it interacts with its environment. Acquired immunity can develop naturally in which case it is called NATURAL ACQUIRED IMMUNITY OR ARTIFICALLY.  

ACTIVE IMMUNITY is the form of acquired immunity in which the body produces its OWN antibodies against infections. While PASSIVE IMMUNITY is the form of acquired immunity in which an individual is PROTECTED AGAINST INFECTION BY RECEIVING ANTIBODIES.  

NATURAL ACQUIRED IMMUNITY

when attacked by the same pathogens again, they don't became seriously ill. this is because memory cells are able to recognise the antigens and stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the pathogens. This is known as NATURAL ACTIVE ACQUIRED IMMUNITY. It develops when one recovers from an infection.

During pregnancy, the mother passes antibodies across the placenta to the foetus. At birth the baby gets antibodies from the mother through breast milk. This is natural passive acquired immunity.
