Potassium bicarbonate

Paralysis in affected horses. Because of the debilitating effects that this condition has, it is important to examine the ways that this disorder can be controlled. Low potassium diets, regular turnout, and a constant schedule have been shown to effectively manage the condition of Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis. The role of potassium in action potentials, as well as in muscular contraction, is reviewed. Also investigated is the ideal way to feed a horse affected with this condition. In recent…

K2CrO4 was added in Step 12 and this was what indicated whether or not the sample from Part B contained barium or not. The chloride ion in potassium chromate bound to the barium cation and formed a precipitate, if there were any calcium cations present, they would have stayed in the liquid solution. If the substance in Step 12 remained cloudy, it would have been a sign for a false positive. This…

The instructor brought forth three sea urchins from the tank in the back of the room. The three sea urchins were then injected with .5M of potassium chloride (KCl) and placed mouth up into a 120 mL of seawater. After waiting for 10 to 15 minute time interval there was no reaction from the sea urchins. The lab instructor injected another .5M of potassium chloride (KCl) and placed into 120 mL of sea water mouth up. Once all three were placed into containers with the seawater solution they…

Know One Drug Erin Wu I chose losartan. For your molecule: Note the primary indication, and a secondary indication (even if off label) The primary indication is hypertension. It is also used for diabetic neuropathy and hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy. Note and be able to draw the pharmacophore that appears to be responsible for activity. Losartan1 valsartan2 The molecule on the left is losartan and the…

The researchers used two groups of rats: one fed the ketogenic diet regimen and the other a control diet. They found that chronic ketosis resulted in the increased production of mitochondrial proteins as well as proteins associated with oxidative phosphorylation, the cells primary mechanism for producing ATP. The researchers used electron micrographs from the dentate-hilar region of the hippocampus, and visually analyzed the micrographs from ketogenic diet fed rats and control diet fed rats.…

the unknown, we needed to have a set amount of the unknown salt, and then add measured amounts of water to determine the minimum amount needed to completely dissolve the salt. The cation test told whether the unknown contained barium, calcium, potassium, sodium, strontium, lithium, copper, or magnesium. Given a chart of the colors that each burn, lit the unknown on fire with a bunsen burner and compared the flame color with the colors in the chart. In order to identify the anion, we needed…

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for human health and is required throughout the body; but by far the largest quantities are found in the bones and muscles. Almost all the body's enzymes are dependent to some degree on adequate supplies of magnesium, and these enzymes are essential for several hundred vital metabolic reactions; amongst the most important being the production of energy within cells through the metabolism of dietary proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Magnesium is…

After the experiment was conducted and the data was analyzed the cation in the solution was proven to affect the color of the flame. The cation in each of the solutions are calcium, copper, lithium, and potassium. The two salt solutions that have calcium as its cation are Calcium Chloride and Calcium Nitrate. When you compare those two solutions you can see that both of their flames turned orange. The two salt solutions with chloride as their anion were Calcium Chloride and Lithium Chloride.…

the weak acid and from bicarbonate (HCO3-) and very little hydrogen ions (H+). This equilibrium allows for the equation to vary back and forth maintaining a constant pH value within the species. For instance, when hydrogen is missing, more water and carbon dioxide will form carbonic acid and will therefore dissociate replacing the missing hydrogen ions and lowering the pH value. However, if there is an excess of hydrogen ions, these will combine with left over bicarbonate ions to form carbonic…

can be deadly. The blood buffer contains carbonic acid which dissociates into bicarbonate acid and hydrogen ions. This equation can also be reversed; it is a chemical equilibrium. If the hydrogen ions rise, bicarbonate accepts the hydrogen ions and the equilibrium shifts left thus making the blood acidic. When the blood becomes acidic, acidosis…
