Thank you for your insight on different electrolytes. The fluctuating fluid levels in the body do cause electrolyte balances to be constantly shifting. It is sad that there is no known reason for heat cramps, but at least there is ways to subside the pain and consumption of electrolytes the problem can be fixed. It is nice that there are readily available foods and drinks that can help stabilize any electrolyte imbalances, such as those you listed in your discussion, that we can use to correct the imbalances that are caused through everyday activities such as sweating, illness, and using the restroom. I like how you included a list of major roles that electrolytes play in every person’s body. This list helps inform those able to read what

    Purpose: The purpose of our experiment was to precipitate Copper (II) Phosphate Trihydrate and determine percent yield, also to react an aqueous solution of Copper (II) Chloride with aqueous Sodium Phosphate and describe the reaction. Procedure: To conduct our experiment 10 milliliters of CuCL2 and 8 milliliters NaPO4 was added to its own 50 milliliter beaker. These solutions were then combined in a 150 milliliter beaker and mixed for 1 minute. The PH of the mixed solution was checked to see if it was accurate enough to go on with the experiment. The solution was then filtered using the vacuum filtration technique.…

    The purpose of this lab was to determine the formula of copper chloride hydrate by dehydration through heating, rehydration through adding water back in, the reaction of aluminum with the copper chloride hydrate to produce solid copper, and the weight of this copper. To accomplish this, a petri dish was weighed and 1.01 g of copper chloride hydrate was added to the dish. The solid salt crystals were broken up to make sure that all of the hydrate would be heated the same. Next, the petri dish and hydrate were heated upon a hot plate for roughly 15 minutes, until all the salt crystals were brown instead of blue. This indicated that all of the water had been burned out of the hydrate, leaving dehydrated copper chloride.…

    By adding Hydrochloric acid into solid Magnesium, in Data table #2, when Hydrochloric acid was first been added to solid Magnesium, the ribbon immediately start to bubble and producing fumes at the same time with a burning sound. Magnesium start to turn into a white liquid form. After the bubble start to disappear, more Hydrochloric acid was added, and the reactions repeats. Until none of the shiny silver Magnesium ribbon can be seen, and there is no more bubble, the reaction is over.…

    Within methods of chemistry, the most common and obvious way to find the PH of a substance is to use an acid-base indicator in order to determine the pH level by comparing the indicators color to what pH it represents. An example of this is universal indicator (a mixture of a variety of other indicators) that changes a wide variety of colors depending on the pH it is subject to. This colorizing effect is somewhat like a color dye for a molecule, that changes color when it detects a specific threshold is crossed in terms of the pH of the substance, thus allowing an approximate pH to be determined. This color change is due to the molecules present in acid-base indicators responding to the changes in the overall concentration of the hydrogen…

    Electrolytes affect the amount of water in your body, the acidity of your blood (pH), your muscle function, and other important processes. Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and others that are critical in allowing cells to generate energy, maintain the stability of their walls, and to function in general. They generate electricity, contract muscles, move water and fluids within the body, and participate in other activities. The concentration of electrolytes in the body is controlled by different kinds of hormones, most of which are manufactured in the kidney and the adrenal glands. Sensors in specialized kidney cells monitor the amount of sodium, potassium, and water in the bloodstream.…

    Electrolytes serve many important functions in the body. When you exercise, you lose electrolytes in your sweat. Electrolytes are used by cells to maintain voltages, and to carry electrical signals. These impulses can carry nerve signals, and allow muscles to move. Cells use electrolytes to maintain fluid balances, by moving the electrolytes in and out of the cell.…

    Osmosis is the net movement of water towards higher concentration. In osmosis experiment, water likes to diffuse from an area of low-solute concentration to an area of high-solute concentration. The purpose of the osmosis experiment was to observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane, which was dialysis tubing. This experiment was done to examine, if the solution is hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic.…

    To investigate which food dye color were present in the low-calorie Gatorade, a small sample of the Gatorade was inserted into a UV-Vis spectrometer to examine which color was being absorbed and reflected. There were two peaks, where the two colors were being the most absorbed. Once the absorbance was figured out, the food dyes that is needed in the Gatorade was present by using the color spectrum and the wavelength. These colors were green (514 nm) and orange (629.6 nm). Then the emitting colors can be solved.…

    Discussion There were four goals for Project 11: Identification, Properties, and Synthesis of an Unknown Ionic Compound. The first goal was to identify the unknown compound, the second goal was to determine the reactivity of the compound, the third goal was to determine the quantitative solubility of the compound in water, and the fourth goal was to find the percent yield of a product from a reaction involving the unknown compound. Determining the identity of the unknown compound was achieved by performing a variety of tests for the physical properties of the substance. Some of these properties, such as melting point and chemical structure, could be discovered by making a few immediate observations of the substance. The unknown compound…
