What is diazotization?

is a reaction between organic compounds, either primary, secondary or teritary, the reactants react together and water molecules are produced similar to a condensation reaction.


How do nickel-cadmium batteries work?

Nickel-cadmium batteries work with normal anode and cathode principles, similar to how all batteries work. Nickel hydroxide is used as the anode, and cadmium is used for the cathode. The chemical reaction which describes how the battery works is as follows: 2NiO(OH) + Cd + 2H2O --> 2Ni(OH)2 + Cd(OH)2. The key thing to notice in that reaction is that the battery's electrolyte, potassium hydroxide (KOH), is not consumed. That, plus the fact that the reaction can work just fine going in the opposite direction, make NiCd batteries not only rechargeable, but long-lived as well.


Are reactive dyes organic or inorganic?

organic compounds as dyes are more reactive because the dying materials are usually organic and binding between similar substances is a fast process.


Prosthetic group of enzyme is organic or inorganic?

No. Enzymes are ORGANIC catalysts. Enzymes are types of protein that are very similar to inorganic catalysts. Both increase the rate of a reaction (while decreasing activation energy.) Also, neither of them are used up or changed in the reactions that they speed up. A difference between the two is that enzymes are complex proteins but catalysts are simple inorganic molecules. The main difference is the way that the two are affected by temperature. Like other proteins, an increase in temperature causes an enzyme to denature and change shape. The shape of an enzyme is essential for its role in the reaction because it must fit with the specific substrate (the thing that it is helping to break down/speeding up the reaction of). Therefore, the enzyme will not speed up the reaction if it is denatured and no longer is the same shape. An inorganic catalyst, on the other hand, is more effective at a higher temperature and increases the reaction rate even more.

Are batteries made with iron?

No. Lead-acid batteries are made using lead which is immersed in an acid, usually sulfuric. Carbon batteries have a carbon rod core with zinc and copper. NiCad batteries are similar to carbon batteries, but a nickle-Cadmium rod are used. Lithium batteries are similar as well, but lithium is used.


Can some that is allergic to penicillin take amoxicillin safely?

Absolutely not! Amoxycillin is a semi-synthetic form of penicillin. They're similar enough to generate an anaphylatic reaction in almost anyone with a penicillin alergy.
