What are the 8 lab safety rules? General Laboratory Safety Rules Know locations of laboratory safety showers, eyewashstations, and fire extinguishers. Know emergency exit routes. Avoid skin and eye contact with all chemicals. Minimize all chemical exposures. No horseplay will be tolerated. Assume that all chemicals of unknown toxicity are highly toxic. What are the […]

How do astronomers identify stars? Thus, astronomers can identify what kinds of stuff are in stars from the lines they find in the star’s spectrum. This type of study is called spectroscopy. The science of spectroscopy is quite sophisticated. Why do stars wobble? We all know that the chains of gravity shackle a planet to […]

Is water displacement dependent on mass? The concept of Archimedes’ principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The mass of the displaced fluid can be expressed in terms of the density and its volume, m = […]

Is it better to wear a hat in the sun? Wearing a hat outdoors is also great way to protect your hair, eyes, and skin from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. While you still need to slather your skin with sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, a hat can help give added […]

Which stars are the youngest? If proven, the newly discovered neutron star will be the youngest one known by humanity, beating the current youngest supernova remnant is Cassiopeia A, which is 330 years old that can be found 11,000 light-years away from Earth and can be found within our galaxy. Why doesn’t the helium core […]

What is the difference between the two igneous rocks? The two main categories of igneous rocks are extrusive and intrusive. Extrusive rocks are formed on the surface of the Earth from lava, which is magma that has emerged from underground. Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of the […]

What is light quality? Light quality is the wavelength (in nanometers, nm) within the electromagnetic spectrum; i.e. blue light is 450 nm and red light is 650 nm. Each wavelength has a different packet of radiation or energy (in J mol-1) called photons. What type of light causes damage to plants? UV-B radiation has been […]

What is homeostasis in cells? In biology, homeostasis is the state of steady internal, physical, and chemical conditions maintained by living systems. This is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism and includes many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits (homeostatic range). What is homeostatic imbalance […]

What will happen when a force is applied on a moving object against the direction of motion? If the force applied on the object is in the direction of its motion, the speed of the object increases. If the force is applied in the direction opposite to the direction of motion, then it results in […]

Is Sugar an inorganic compound? Explanation: Yes sugars are organic compounds, as organic compounds are defined as Carbon containing compounds with hydrogen attached most of the time. These organic compounds can be synthesized in living beings. they are even used by living being as a source of energy. Is glucose an inorganic compound? Glucose is […]
