Top 16 Properties of Acidity and Alkalinity | Biophysics

The following points highlight the top sixteen properties of acidity and alkalinity. 1. The reaction of the tissues and tissue fluids of the body is nearly natural excepting gastric juice. The slight changes in reaction have a significant physiological effect. In case the reaction of the so­lution is made slightly more acid or more alkaline, the heart stops. 2. Acidity [...]

Top 6 Methods for Deduction of Radioactivity

The following points highlight the top 6 methods for deduction of radioactivity. The methods are: 1. Ionization 2. Ionization Chambers 3. Gesger Counters 4. Semi-Conductor Detectors 5. Scintillation 6. Autoradiography. 1. Ionization: The passage of high energy radiation through matter results in the formation of ions as a result of collision of electrons with atoms. So much energy is transferred [...]

Indicators: Definition, Characteristics and Uses | Biophysics

Indicators: Definition, Characteristics and Uses! Definition: Certain dyes which can determine the hydro­gen ions in a solution are said to be Indicators. Characteristics: 1. The dyes are weak acids (or, less com­monly, weak bases). 2. They have the property of dissociating in solution to yield ions of different colours from the un-dissociated molecules. 3. The pH at which dissociation will [...]
