Which gas is famous as laughing gas? |
|---|
The gas that is famous for laughing is Nitrous oxide. It has a sweet flavor, with no such color(colorless) and is non-flammable gas. It's chemical formula is N2O.
I hear about it in 9th class for the first time when we're in the chemistry lab. I laugh a lot on certain things so I was laughing and the chemistry teacher asked me for the reason and said, "why are you laughing? Have you smelled the laughing gas?" we're a bit shocked and on asking about the laughing gas, she explained it.
Well, Nitrous oxide is used as a sedative in medical procedure. It helps the patient to be calm and relax before the procedure. When you inhale the gas, it won't put you fully to sleep instead you'll be saying and listening everything around. You'll be cool and calm during the procedure.
What is name for stress hormone? |
|---|
The name for stress hormone is Cortisol. The adrenal gland that is located on the top of kidney, produces and releases the cortisol.
When someone is stressed, Cortisol is released by adrenal glands into the bloodstream to keep your body balance. If you're body is producing too much or too little cortisol, you may have health problems. Therefore its level should be balanced.
Leap year comes but after how many years? |

Leap year comes after four years with an exception. There are extra 5 hours, 48 minutes and 56 seconds in every year or in 365 days, precisely, the earth complete its orbit around the sun in 365.242190 days. To compensate these hours, we add this extra day periodically to keep our calendar align.
Adding a leap day once every four years eventually results in our calendar becoming 44 minutes too long, which can also knock our seasons and calendar off whack. As a result, we do skip leap years, though we do so at intervals much larger than four years. years divisible by 100 but not 400 are skipped, meaning we skipped leap years in 1700, 1800 and 1900 but not 2000. The next leap year we'll skip is quite a ways away, in 2100.
Next Leap Year
After the leap year 2024, the next leap year will be on Tuesday, 29th February 2028.
