View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
The basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions (H+) which can be produced by the ionization of one molecule of the acid in aqueous solution. For example, the basicity of hydrochloric acid is 1 since one molecule of HCl produces one H+ ion in solution. Similarly, the basicity of Disodium phosphate (Na2HPO4) is one since it has one H+ displaceable ion.

Trimix is a breathing gas, consisting of oxygen, helium and nitrogen, and is often used in deep commercial diving. The helium is included as a substitute for some of the nitrogen, to reduce the narcotic effect of the breathing gas at depth. It helps to reduce nitrogen narcosis and to avoid the dangers of oxygen toxicity. With a mixture of three gases, it is possible to create mixes suitable for different depths or purposes by adjusting the proportions of each gas.

Amines are organic derivatives of ammonia, in which one, two, or all three of the hydrogens of ammonia are replaced by organic groups. All aliphatic primary amines are stronger bases than ammonia.In aqueous solution, the pKb’s (basicity) of ammonia, methyl amine, dimethylamine, and trimethyl amine are therefore, respectively, 4.74, 3.34, 3.27. and 4.19. In terms of pKb, the strongest bases have the least positive values of pKb. So in aqueous solutions, the strongest bases are: Dimethylamine > methylamine > trimethylamine.>ammonia

Heavy water is deuterium oxide (2H2O). It is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium (2H or D, also known as heavy hydrogen), rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope (1H or H, also called protium) that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the principal pollutants that cause acid rain. SO2 and NOx emissions released to the air react with water vapor and other chemicals to form acids that fall back to Earth. Power plants burning coal and heavy oil produce over two-thirds of the annual SO2emission.
