UNIT OF CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTION

UNIT OF CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTION
Basic terminologies
Phase:
Every sample of matter with uniform properties and a fixed composition is called a phase.
Examples:
Sample of water at room temperature and normal pressure exists as a single liquid phase that is all the properties of water sample are same throughout this liquid phase.
Mixture of water and small amount of sugar is also the example of phase. However this phase has different properties as compared to pure water sample. But properties of this new phase i.e., water and sugar mixture remains same throughout the sample.
Solution:
A homogeneous mixture of two or more than two substances is called solution.
There are two components of solutions.
Solvent:
The substance which is present in large quantity in solution is called solvent.
Solute:
The substance which is present in small quantity in solution is called solute.
Example:
In aqueous solution of sugar, water is solvent and sugar is solute.
Binary solution:
The solution which contains two components only is called binary solution.
For example, sugar dissolved in water. Water is solvent and sugar is solute.
Concentration of Solution:
The amount of solute dissolved in unit volume of solution (or in unit amount of solvent) is called concentration of solution.
Solution which contains relatively small amount of solute is called dilute solution. And the solution which contains relatively large amount of solute is called concentrated solution.

Mr chips important short questions.

Chapter#1 Question # 1:How does a person spend his time in old age after retirement? Answer : After retirement when a person becomes old, he has nothing to do.

DISPLACMENT, DISTANCE, SPEED, VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION

Displacement: Shortest distance between two points is called displacement                                                                OR The displacement is a change in the position of body form its initial position to final position Unit:  SI unit of displacement is metre (m)                    Dimension:             The dimension of displacement is [L] VELOCITY: The time rate of change of displacement is known as velocity. It is a vector quantity. Its direction is along the direction of displacement. Mathematically...

Proteins

PROTEINS Introduction Proteins are the most abundant organic compounds to be found in cells and comprise over  50%  of their total dry weight. They are present in all types of cells and in all parts of the cell. Function Proteins perform many functions. Some of their important functions are; They  build many structures  of the cell. All  enzymes  are proteins and in this way they control the whole metabolism of the cell. Some hormones  are also proteins and regulate metabolic processes. Some proteins (e.g.  haemoglobin )   work as carriers and transport specific substances such as oxygen, lipid, metal ions etc. Some proteins called  antibodies , defend the body against pathogens. Blood clotting  proteins prevent the loss of blood from the body after an injury. Movement  of organs and organisms and movement of chromosomes during anaphase of cell division, are caused by proteins. Amino acids as units of protei...
