Strong Acids

Strong Acids: 3 intresting facts with popular reactions

Introduction Strong acids are substances that on dissociation release a vast number of hydronium cations ( H+or H3O+). Strong acids also have a large value for Ka (dissociation constant for acids). According to many scientists and the theories proposed by them, Strong acids are further described in numerous ways. Theories for strong acids 1. Bronsted

Weak electrolyte

Weak electrolyte: 5 complete facts & strong vs weak electrolytes

1. Weak electrolyte definition Weak electrolyte are those electrolytes that have a low degree of dissociation at higher concentrations and hence their conductivity increases with an increase in dilution. Consequently the number of ions in the total volume of electrolyte increases. Examples CH3COOH (Acetic Acid), H2CO3 (Carbonic Acid), NH3 (Ammonia), H3PO4 (Phosphoric Acid), C6H5COOH (Benzoic

Cytochromes

Cytochromes

Definition Cytochromes are redox-active proteins containing a heme, with the central Fe (iron) atom at its core, as a cofactor. They are involved in the electron transport chain and redox catalysis. Cytochromes are classified according to the type of heme and its mode of binding. They are found in both animals and plants and contain

Bioaugmentation

What is bioaugmentation?

Know in one minute about Bioaugmentation Bioaugmentation is a process in which specialized microorganisms are added to perform biodegradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants (present in soil and groundwater).  It is designed to reduce the contamination level. Increases the active microbes and microorganisms level in the treatment environment.  The contaminants are transformed into less harmful substances
