How does potash alum arrest bleeding?

Bleeding can be stopped by coagulation of the blood (formation of a clot). Potash alum has highly charged Al3+ and (SO4)2- ions which act as neutralizing ions for the protein colloid in blood.

This causes aggregation or clotting and this in turn stops the bleeding.
Chemical Formula of Potash Alum :
K2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.24H2O

What is a carat, and how does it relate to a karat ?

A carat is a unit of weight for diamondsand other gemstones.

One carat equals 200 milligrams (0.200 grams). There are 453 grams in a pound (1,000 grams to a kilogram).

A karat, when used with gold, is a unit of purity- 24-karat gold is pure gold, but usually you mix gold with a metal like copper or silver to make jewelry (because pure gold is too soft).

Each karat indicates 1/24th of the whole.

So if a piece of jewelry is made of metal that is 18 parts gold and 6 parts copper, that is 18-karat gold.

Why do animals have tails?

Many animals, such as felines,mammals and insects have tails.

The tail has many functions. In Africa animals have evolved into growing tails to brush away flies.

It is also used for balance, by animals such as cats and kangaroos.

Although, the Arctic Fox uses it's tail for warmth, and the fish uses it to move through water.

It is very peculiar that animals have gotten to use tails in ways you would never would have predicted.

Some fish also use it to inject venom into their prey, thus bringing the conclusion that tails have evolved to defend, attack and even warm the animal itself.

How did Google get its name?

After almost calling google ‘backrub’, Larry Page's (co-founder of google) friend, Sean, suggested googolplex, the number googol to the power of ten (one with 100 zeros).

How ever Larry settled with the shorter term, googol. Sean, not realising googol was spelt with an ‘ol’ and not ‘le’ searched to see if the domain “google.com” was available.

Larry liked the name google and stuck with the new made up word which we all know of today.

What part of the body does not have a blood supply?

The only living cells in the body that aren't directly served by blood vessels are those of the cornea in the eye.

Oxygen and nutrients instead diffuse directly from the tear fluid on the outside and the aqueous humour (the thick watery substance between the lens and the cornea) on the inside, as well as along the nerve fibres that are connected to the cornea.

One of the problems with contact lenses is that they reduce the oxygen supply from the outside. Even with gas-permeable lenses, this can cause corneal neovascularisation, where blood vessels grow into the cornea. This problem is reduced or eliminated by the newest silicone hydrogel lenses.

As well as the cornea, other areas of the body that don't have blood vessels include hair, nails, tooth enamel and the outer skin layers.

Why do ceiling fans get dusty?

The latter is the case for ceiling fans.

As the blades rotate, they experience frictional forces as they `rub' against the air; this knocks electrons around, causing the blades to build up a net charge.

The charged dust particles then stick to the charged areas of the blades.

How does a helicopter work?

In order to fly, an object must have "lift," a force moving it upward. 

A helicopter's rotor blades are wings and create lift. An airplane must fly fast to move enough air over its wings to provide lift.

A helicopter moves air over its rotor by spinning its blades.
