When was Pondus created?
Pondus was created in 1995.
What do the initials pH stand for?
The concept of pH was first introduced by Danish chemist S L P Sorensen in 1909. pH is claimed to have come from pondus hydrogenii, potentia hydrogeni (Latin) potentiel hydrogene (French) and potential of hydrogen (English). it stand for POTENTIAL HYDROGEN.
What is hydrogen's name?
hydrogenii.
What is hydrogen in Latin?
as a suffix, hydrogenii. Alone, hydrogenium. Latin name of hydrogen is HYDROGENIUM
Does a pH of 3 have a greater hydrogen ion concentration than a 9 pH?
pH come from "pondus hydrogenii" or "potential hydrogen." It measures the concentration of hydrogen ions. Mathematically, pH = -log[H+] Therefore, to answer your question, a pH of 3 will have a 10-3M of hydrogen ions where as the pH 9 solution will have a 10-9M of hydrogen ions. The lower the pH the higher its H+ concentration and the more acidic it is. (A pH of 9 is actually basic.)
What is the latin roots in the word pondered?
The Latin root is 'pondus' meaning to weigh
Full form of pH In Chemistry Biochemistry Biotechnology?
potential hydrogen Presence of active Hydrogen Potentia Hydrogenii (Latin: hydrogen power) Hydrogen Strength in the given substance just to measure its acidity or alkalinity Puissance de hydrogen
How is ponder related to ponderous?
"Ponder" and "ponderous" both share the same root word "ponder," which comes from the Latin word "ponderare" meaning "to weigh." "Ponder" means to think deeply or consider carefully, while "ponderous" means heavy, dull, or laborious, reflecting the idea of something that requires deep thought or consideration.
Will lowering the pH of lactose affect the enzyme?
Yes, it would effect the enzyme as i would become acidic. If it becomes too acidic then the shape of the active site will change and the substrate will no longer fit and therefore no reaction can take place. A low pH will denature the enzyme ( cause the protein structure to change shape)
What is the Latin root of the English verb 'pondered'?
Pend- is the Latin root of the English verb "pondered." The English active past tense ultimately traces back to the Latin noun pondus ("weight," from the root ponder-), the verb pendere ("to hang," "to suspend," "to weigh" and, figuratively, "to ponder") and the root pend- ("hang"). The pronunciation will be "pend" in Church and classical Latin.
Why is pounds written as pounds?
Lb is an abbreviation of the Latin word for pound. The original Latin word for the pound weight was libra pondo.The Latin word libra means 'balances, scales' (as in the astrological sign for the constellation Libra, which can be described as looking like a set of balance scales). The word pondus, meaning weight, is the original Latin for the English word 'pound.' So libra pondo meant 'a balance scale weight (of a Roman pound)'. A Roman pound weighed about 327 grams. [The British pound became standardised at about 1/3rd heavier than the ancient Roman pound]In time libra pondo became shortened to just libra, i.e. a quick way of saying 'libra pondo.' Then libra was abbreviated to lb, still meaning pound or pounds. Lbs is the logical English plural of lb, but either lb or lbs can be used.
Is there any Jewish history in Scotland?
The earliest date at which Jews arrived in Scotland is not known. It is possible that some arrived, or at least visited, as a result of the Roman Empire's conquest of southern Great Britain, but there is no direct evidence for this. What the Romans referred to as "Caledonia" was never integrated into the Empire, although there was a short-lived occupation of southern Scotland (and Roman influence and trade continued after the withdrawal of their troops). Most histories of Jews in Scotland deal with the subject matter from a British perspective, and the Scottish aspect tends to be marginalised. The vast majority of Scottish Jews are Ashkenazi. While England during the Middle Ages had state persecution of the Jews, culminating in the Edict of Expulsion of 1290 (Jews may have arrived in Scotland after this date) there was never a corresponding expulsion from Scotland. Indeed the eminent Jewish-Scottish scholar David Daiches states in his autobiographical Two Worlds: An Edinburgh Jewish Childhood that there are grounds for saying that Scotland is the only European country which has no history of state persecution of Jews. Evidence of Jews in medieval Scotland is fairly scanty, but in 1190, the Bishop of Glasgow forbade churchmen to "ledge their benefices for money borrowed from Jews". This was around the time of the Anti-Jewish riots in England so it is possible Jewish refugees lived in Scotland for a brief time, or it may refer to English Jews' interests in Scotland. Aberdeen and Dundee had close links to Baltic ports such as in Poland and Lithuania known as Scottish merchant trade routes. It is possible that Jewish people may have come to Scotland to trade with their Scottish counterparts Like many Christian nations, medieval Scots believed themselves to have a Biblical connection. The Declaration of Arbroath (6 April 1320), which was sent as an appeal to Pope John XXII, confirmed Scotland's status as an independent, sovereign state and asserted its right to use military action when considered unjustly attacked. It was sealed by fifty-one magnates and nobles. It is still periodically referenced by British Israelitists. The text asserts that in the eyes of God: cum non sit Pondus nec distinccio Judei et Greci, Scoti aut Anglici ("there is neither bias nor difference between Jew or Greek, Scot or English") The first recorded Jew in Edinburgh was one David Brown in 1691, shortly before the Act of Union 1707, who made an application to reside and trade in the city.
