  2. Dolomite (mineral) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomite_(mineral)

    Unless it is in fine powder form, it does not rapidly dissolve or effervesce (fizz) in cold dilute hydrochloric acid as calcite does. [9] Crystal twinning is common. Solid solution exists between dolomite, the iron-dominant ankerite and the manganese-dominant kutnohorite. [10] Small amounts of iron in the structure give the crystals a yellow to ...

    This condition, known as "toxic jaundice", gave the skin a different type of yellow hue. A medical investigation was carried out by the government in 1916, to closely study the effects of TNT on the munitions workers. The investigators were able to gather their data by acting as female medical officers posted inside the factories.

  4. Dolomite (rock) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomite_(rock)

    Dolomite (also known as dolomite rock, dolostone or dolomitic rock) is a sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg(CO 3) 2. It occurs widely, often in association with limestone and evaporites , though it is less abundant than limestone and rare in Cenozoic rock beds (beds less than about 66 ...

  5. Xanthoproteic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthoproteic_reaction

    If the test is positive the proof is neutralized with an alkali, turning dark yellow. The yellow colour is due to xanthoproteic acid which is formed due to nitration of certain amino acids, most common examples being tyrosine and tryptophan. [1] This chemical reaction is a qualitative test, determining the presence or absence of proteins.

    According to the FDA, tartrazine causes hives in fewer than 1 in 10,000 people, or 0.01%. [ 14 ] It is not clear how many individuals are sensitive or intolerant to tartrazine, but the University of Guelph estimates that it is 1 to 10 out of every ten thousand people (0.01% to 0.1% of the population).

    Mechanism of acid-fast staining in acid-fast cells and non-acid-fast cell [24] [25] [26] The mechanism of action of the Ziehl-Neelsen stain is not completely understood, but it is thought to involve a chemical reaction between the acidic dyes and the cell walls of the bacteria .
