what does the word Antibiotics mean?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Antibiotics are medicines that help stop infections caused by bacteria. They do this by killing the bacteria or by keeping them from copying themselves or reproducing. The word antibiotic means “against life.” Any drug that kills germs in your body is technically an antibiotic. An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria. It is the most important type of antibacterial agent for fighting bacterial infections, and antibiotic medications are widely used in the treatment and prevention of such infections. They may either kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. One of the main medicines for relieving ear pain is acetaminophen — such as Children's TYLENOL® or Infants' TYLENOL® — not antibiotics. As with any medicine, ask your doctor which pain reliver is right for your child.Antibiotics are not available without a prescription in the United States. You will need to talk to a doctor or nurse practitioner to get a prescription. You can do this in person, over the phone, or over video. Amoxicillin is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia; bronchitis (infection of the airway tubes leading to the lungs); and infections of the ears, nose, throat, urinary tract, and skin. It is also used in combination with other medications to eliminate H. The scientists have named the molecule “halicin”, in honour of HAL, the spooky AI system from 2001: A Space Odyssey. One of the researchers has described the “amazing” molecule as “arguably one of the more powerful antibiotics that has been discovered”.

Antibiotics are medicines that can help kills germs or stops infections caused by the bacteria! (So basically any kind of drug is a antibiotics)

Answers

Answer:

Isotopes

Explanation:

Scientists now know that most elements come in more than one version. The different versions are called Isotopes. The difference between them is the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

Isotopes usually differ in the mass number of the elements which is the reason why they also have a different neutron number. They may also differ in physical characteristics but would most likely have common chemical properties.

Which one of the next salts is the most soluble in water, if: Ksp (BaCO3) = 5.1 • 10-9 mol2 / l2; Ksp (CaCO3) = 4.8 • 10-9 mol2 / l2; Ksp (BaSO4) = 1.1 • 10-10 mol2 / l2? *

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Ksp (BaCO₃) = 5.1 x  10⁻⁹

Ksp (CaCO₃) = 4.8 x  10⁻⁹

Ksp (BaSO₄) = 1.1 x  10⁻¹⁰ = .11 x 10⁻⁹

Since solubility product of BaCO₃ is  greatest , its solubility is maximum .It is to be noted that all of them will be giving only two number of ions after dissolution in water .

BaCO₃ = Ba⁺ + CO₃⁻

Ksp = [ Ba⁺²] [ CO₃⁻² ]

= [ Ba⁺²]²

[ Ba⁺²] = √ Ksp

similarly we can find equations for others .

. Write a balanced equation for the
combustion of propane,
C3H8
When balanced, the equation indicates
that moles of
O2 are required for each mole of C3Hg8

Answers

Answer: C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

Explanation:

1.  First start by writing out the unbalanced equation

2.  Count all the atoms on both sides of the equation

C = 3         C =1

H = 8         O=3

O = 2         H =1

3.   Start by balancing the carbon atoms. What would it take to have 3 Carbon atoms on the left? You would add a 3 in front of the carbon atoms on the left side to match the carbon atoms on the right.

4.   Now Try balancing the H atoms. You have 8 H atoms on the right and 1 H atom on the left. To balance these out you would need to add a 4 in front of the H atom which gives you 8 on both sides.

5.  Now balance out the oxygen atoms. Since we added coefficients to the compounds on the left we now have 10 oxygen on the left 4x1=4 + 3x2=6 now balance out the right side of the equation by adding a 5 in front of the O2 5x2 Oxygen gives you 10.

Compare the electric repulsion of the protons in the uranium nucleus (element 92) with the repulsion of the protons in the nucleus of barium (element 56).Which repulsion is larger?

Answers

Answer:

uranium nucleus

Explanation:

The charge on protons is positive. Hence repulsion is to be expected between the like charges.

The magnitude of repulsion between protons increases with the number of protons present in the nucleus.

Uranium possess 92 protons while barium possess only 56 protons. Hence uranium having a larger number of protons will experience a larger repulsion in its nucleus compared to barium.

How many electrons do you need to be considered to have octect? Will Hydrogen and Chlorine share electrons or transfer electrons to each other? Explain your answer. What element has an octect of two valence electrons? How does octect work? What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds? How is the chemical bond formed in an inonic compound?

Answers

Answer:

(1) The outermost shell should have Eight electrons to complete or called as  octet and attain stability.  

(2) Hydrogen and Chlorine share Electrons with each other and form Covalent bonding.

(3) Hydrogen forms an octet by obtaining an electron, and Helium is the only element that has an octet with two electrons.

(4) The octet rule states that an atom should attain eight electrons in the outermost shell to get stability, However we have exceptional like Hydrogen and helium.

(5) In Ionic bond there is a formation of Ions of the elements in a compound, like in NaCl there will be Na+ and Cl-.

(6) While in Covalent bond there is sharing of electron between the atoms included like O2.

(7) In ionic bond there is an electrostatic force of attraction while in Covalent bond the is a mutual sharing of electrons.

Answers

Answer:

Dependent variable: Amount of NaCI dissolved in water

Explanation:

In an experiment, the DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the variable that the experimenter measures. It is the variable whose response is dependent on the independent variable.

In this experiment, researchers were studying the temperature and the amount of NaCI dissolved in water i.e. how a change in temperature affected the amount of NaCl dissolved. They conducted two tests one changing the temperature (experimental group) and another without changing the temperature (control group) the temperature change. It is clear that the RESPONDING/DEPENDENT VARIABLE IN THIS EXPERIMENT IS THE AMOUNT OF NACL DISSOLVED.
