Basically, sodium acetate is the reaction between vinegar and baking soda. Baking soda, or also know as sodium bicarbonate is a white powder made by one sodium atom. It commonly used for antacid and cooking, as an leavening agent. When the chemical reaction occurs the products made by these two substances are sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and water. The type of reaction formed by these compounds is a double replacement. The reason why it…

Research Question How does the change in hydrochloric acid concentration affect the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3(aq)) and hydrochloric acid (HCL(aq))? Background to the Research question Collision Theory Back in 1916, scientists William Lewis and Max Trautz proposed the collision theory, which qualitatively explains how chemical reactions take place and why reaction rates change for various reactions. Chemical reactions involve collisions amongst reactant particles or…

Specialists usually recommend antacids to relieve the heartburn and other symptoms. Gallstones Gallstones do not have any symptoms. However, if a gallstone were to restrict bile duct may experience gallbladder attacks. The symptoms of a gallbladder attack include nausea, fever…

increase the toxicity of lithium. This could increase the risk for lithium side effects. When taken with methotrexate naproxen sodium can increase the levels of methotrexate also increasing the risk for methotrexate side effects. Different types of antacids make naproxen less effective and naproxen sodium should be taken carefully with other NSAIDs. Aleve Tablets There are multiple types of Aleve; for this investigation the investigator has decided to use Aleve Tablets. The active ingredient…

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a disease that affects the Digestive system in the body. “A sphincter at the inferior end of the esophagus called the gastroesophageal sphincter prevents the contents of the stomach from regurgitating into the esophagus” (Amerman pg.557). The normal homeostasis of the esophagus is when food is swallowed, the lower esophageal sphincter which is a circular band of muscle around the bottom part of the esophagus it relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow…

Incorrect nasogastric tube placement is becoming a major problem in healthcare. This is evident due to about 1.9% of feeding tubes are misplaced (Sparks et al, 2011) and commonly leads to pneumothorax in one in five people and death in one in thirty-nine. (Taylor, 2014). These errors directly affect the patient causing him or her to accrue a larger bill and longer hospital stay. Neither of which is good. There are several factors that attribute to these errors such as old practices of…

Gastritis, a condition that involves the irritation and inflammation of the stomach, afflicts millions of people. Any number of things causes it, from injury to bacteria. In that respect, it is akin to a headache: It can strike anyone, and it can be caused by a wide variety of factors both internal and external, but what is gastritis exactly? Many symptoms point to gastritis. Here are some of them. - A burning pain similar to indigestion in your upper abdomen. In some people, the pain gets…

 Pathophysiology of Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a condition of skeletal fragility due to progressive loss of bone mass. Losing bone is a normal part of the ageing process, but some people lose bone density much faster than normal. This can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures. It occurs in elderly people of both sexes but is most pronounced in postmenopausal women, they lose bone rapidly in the first few years after the menopause (when monthly periods stop and the ovaries…

The experiment that I will be conducting focuses on how fast one tablet of Alka seltzer can dissolve in various temperatures of water. The core of this procedure is to determine the impact that temperature has on how fast something dissolves. My hypothesis for this experiment would be that the Alka Seltzer that dissolves the fastest would be the one that was placed in the water with the highest temperature. There will be controlled and manipulated variables explained throughout the experiment.…
