Name the acid present in ant sting and give its chemical formula. Also give the common method to get relief from the discomfort caused by the ant sting.

-
Ans: Ant sting contains methanoic acid (HCOOH) (formic acid). Its chemical formula is HCOOH. The common method to get relief from it is to apply paste of (baking soda) on it.

Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium || Relation between Beryllium and Aluminium

-
  Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium The ionic radius of Beryllium (Be 2+) is estimated to be nearly 31 pm; the charge/radius ratio Or e/m ratio is nearly the same as that of the Al 3+ ion. Hence beryllium resembles aluminium in these ways. Some of the similarities are given below: » Like Aluminium, Beryllium(be) is not readily attacked by acids H+ donor because of the formation of an oxide film on the surface of the metal by reacting with oxygen, i.e. they are rendered passive by nitric acid. » Beryllium hydroxide[[Be(OH)4]2] dissolves in excess of alkali to give a beryllate ion, [ Be(OH)4]2– just as aluminium hydroxide[Al(OH)3] gives aluminate ion, [Al(OH)4] » The chlorides of metals beryllium and aluminium have Cl– bridged chloride structure in vapour phase. Both the chlorides are soluble in organic solvents and are strong as Lewis acids They are used as Friedel Craft catalysts. » Beryllium(Be) and aluminium(Al) ions have strong tendency to form complexes, (Be...

What does one mean by exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give examples.

Ques 9: What does one mean by exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give examples.   Ans 9: Chemical reactions that release energy in the form of heat, light, or sound are called  exothermic reactions. Example: Mixture of sodium and chlorine to yield table salt.                2 Na + Cl 2  →2 Na Cl In other words, combination reactions are exothermic.  Reactions that require energy or absorb   energy in order to proceed are called endothermic reactions.  For example: In the process of photosynthesis, plants use the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen .       6  CO 2  + 6  H 2 O  →  C 6 H 12 O 6  + 6  O 2 «« Previous question              Next question »»

Electric Current

-
  Electric current is a fundamental concept in physics and electrical engineering. Here are some key notes about electric current: Definition : Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. It is measured in amperes (A) and is represented by the symbol "I." Charge Carriers : In most conductors, electric current is carried by electrons. Electrons have a negative charge and move from the negatively charged terminal (cathode) to the positively charged terminal (anode) in a circuit. Direction of Current : Conventional current flow is defined as the direction of positive charge flow, which is opposite to the actual electron flow. So, in most circuits, electric current is considered to flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. Types of Current : There are two primary types of electric current: Direct Current (DC) : In DC, the flow of electric charge is in one direction, and it does not change with time. Batteries and solar cells are common sou...
