What is the modern model of atomic structure?
The modern model of atomic structure is the quantum mechanical model.
What is a chemical reaction?
A chemical reaction is a transformation of some substances into one or more different substances.
What are the constraints on the type of chemical reactions a substance may undergo?
The type of chemical reactions a substance may undergo and the energy changes that may accompany it are constrained by certain basic rules, known as chemical laws.
How are chemical substances classified?
Chemical substances are classified in terms of their structure, phase, as well as their chemical compositions.

At what temperature does milk become sour due to the presence of bacteria?
5 degrees
In what form is casein present in milk?
Calcium caseinate in the form of micelles
At what pH can casein be easily separated?
pH 4.7
What happens to casein in milk when the acidity is sufficient and the temperature is around 36 degrees?
It separates out as a precipitate
What type of acid converts lactose in milk into lactic acid, causing sourness?
Lactic acid
What is the purpose of the investigatory project mentioned in the text?

What is the volume of milk taken in each case for the project?
20 ml
Which type of milk sample contains the highest amount of casein protein?
Cow milk
What can be inferred about the lower amount of casein in buffalo milk?
It is due to the presence of more fat content
What does the yield of casein precipitated from various milk samples reveal?
Cow milk contains the most amount of casein protein
What does the text suggest about the dissimilarities between the milk samples -A and -B?
Milk -B may be adulterated with water
Who is acknowledged for providing guidance and support in completing the project?
"Mr. Akhilesh Tiwari"
What level of education is associated with preparing investigatory projects for Science Subjects?
"Class XII"
What is the focus of the investigatory project mentioned in the text?
"Chemistry"
What does the text indicate about the amount of casein protein in cow milk compared to goat and buffalo milk?
"Cow milk contains more casein protein than goat and buffalo milk"
Study Notes
- Chemistry is the scientific study of matter and its properties, behaviors, and transformations, focusing on atoms, molecules, and compounds.
- It is an interdisciplinary science, providing a foundation for various fields like biology, physics, and environmental sciences.
- Alchemy, the precursor to chemistry, originated in Egypt, where it was called Kemet or χημεία. The modern term "chemistry" stems from the Arabic word al-kīmīā.
- The quantum mechanical model is the current atomic structure model in chemistry.
- Chemical reactions occur due to the rearrangement of electrons in chemical bonds, and are often studied in the context of different substances and their interactions.
- A chemical reaction results in the transformation of one or more substances into different substances, with equal number of atoms on both sides.
- Casein, a protein in milk, is the most predominant protein in milk and is a mixed phosphoprotein. It has an isoelectric pH of about 4.7 and readily dissolves in dilute acids and alkalies.
- Natural milk is composed of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, fats, and water, and is a complete balanced diet. Milk can turn sour due to bacteria converting lactose into lactic acid.
- The quantity of casein in different milk samples, including goat milk, cow milk, buffalo milk, and market samples, can be determined through chemical analysis.
- Cow milk contains more casein protein than goat and buffalo milk, potentially due to the latter having a higher fat content.
- Milk samples may exhibit differences, with market milk potentially being adulterated with water.
