Bicarbonate

We then proceeded to fill a beaker with sodium bicarbonate, enough to fill the syringe. The plunger was added to the syringe and enough sodium bicarbonate was pulled to fill the syringe ¾ full. After removing the air bubbles, the tip was covered with a gloved thumb and vacuum pressure was created. We observed the air bubble being released from the spinach disks and released pressure to allow the sodium bicarbonate to take the bubble’s place. This process was repeated until all of…

Diabetes and Ketoacidosis According to the American Diabetes Association, the incidence of diabetes in Americans is nearly 1.7 million people per year. (American Diabetes Association, 2015). Diabetes is a condition that results in higher than normal blood-glucose levels, known as hyperglycemia. There are two forms of diabetes called Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes, is the result of the body’s inability to produce insulin. This is typically…

Intermittent Hypoxia Enhances Athletic Performance When the body of a human being is exposed to limited oxygen, it has to adapt or find a way to producing the required amount of energy to sustain itself with the little oxygen available. Intermittent hypoxia is an invasive-free, non-drug technique employed to advance performance of human beings and their health by practicing to adapt to low oxygen levels. The athletic performance of an individual is the ability of the particular person to stay…

EXTRACTION OF A KNOWN MIXTURE Separation of mixture of Acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) and naphthalene Experiment # 6 Introduction A technique called extraction will be demonstrated in this experiment. Extraction relies on the solubility of substances into solvents and the insolubility of the solvents into each other. In this experiment, three organic compounds (aspirin and naphthalene) will be separated from each other. The two compounds are all soluble in ethyl ether (an organic solvent). By…

All the people who are struggling with this problem, know that fat in the blood can be very dangerous to the overall health. However, the benefit lies in this natural asset that it is really easy to prepare. The medicine that removes the fat in the blood and simultaneously gives the body numerous other benefits, consisting of only a few ingredients. His foundation are the lemon and the parsley which are cooked two to three hours. Parsley contains no cholesterol but is rich in antioxidants,…

produced is able to neutralise the HCl produced in the stomach by exchanging the H+ in the solution with the Na+ forming citric acid, which is a weaker acid than hydrochloric acid. There is also an excess amount of Sodium Bicarbonate present with solution and the bicarbonate ions act as the main buffering agents neutralising any acid or alkali added producing water. (UMN 2000); the NaHCO3 is an antacid, so also helps neutralise stomach acidity, relieving acid indigestion and heartburn.…

Chemistry is something that people use in everyday life. All the food we eat has to do with chemistry. Food has organic compounds that change when they are cooked. It is used in our everyday life when because you need chemistry to do everything. Stoichiometry is the relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or forming a compound. The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent moles of reactants and moles of products. The mole ratio of…

The ocean is a vast vista of blossoming life and mysterious wonders that lurk in the deep. Our exquisite ocean is being ravaged through a process known as ocean acidification. Ocean acidification is the process of carbon dioxide and numerous gases being absorbed into the ocean, which raises the ocean’s pH, causing it to become more acidic. Contrary to popular belief, terrestrial vegetation does not intake all of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The ocean absorbs about fifty-percent of…

pancreas to make bicarbonate ions. Bicarbonate ions are very important for the duodenum because in order for food to be broken down, the stomach has to make lots and lots of hydrochloric acid. The stomach secretes special mucous to help protect it from being damaged by this very acidic chyme while it is mixing and being processed in the stomach. But when the chyme leaves the stomach to go to the duodenum, it has to be made less acidic or it will damage the duodenum. Bicarbonate ions are said…
