While a genetic link to osteoporosis has been discovered, the gene itself has not yet been isolated. Despite this genetic link, scientists have discovered that osteoporosis has a nutritional component. Calcium deficiencies and hormonal deficiencies have also been linked to osteoporosis. Some people who have no genetic link to osteoporosis find themselves dealing with this condition due to other factors. For example, osteoporosis can be caused by extended treatment with steroids, kidney…

hydroxide) and the products are a salt (sodium carbonate) and water (H2O), it is more specifically a neutralization reaction. c) If you were able to take the combined mass of the sodium hydroxide and carbonic acid and compare it to the combined mass of the sodium carbonate and water, what relationship would you expect? Why would you expect this? /2 The combined mass of the sodium hydroxide and carbonic acid, and the combined mass of the sodium carbonate and water will be equal. This is…

atmosphere and forms carbonic acid, which releases hydrogen ions, therefore reducing the pH. This change affects the organisms - such as crabs - who have shells and other exoskeletal body parts made of calcium carbonate and diffuses them, it also affects the internal organs.…

In today’s generation, the Earth is experiencing a climate change that is significantly changing the way humans, animals, and plants live and function. Due to global warming, temperatures on Earth are rising and it’s affecting life on land and in the ocean. During the 18th century of the Industrial Revolution, there was an increase in factories to help with manufacturing. Even though this improved the production of manufactured goods, the factories burned fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and gas,…

The active ingredients/chemical compound present in the involved antacids Medi-first, Gelusil, Acalak and Alka-Seltzer are listed respectively: calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (provided in Table 2). The effectiveness of each antacid listed above was tested and calculated in the same manner. Phenolphthalein indicator was used because of its ability to express the pH range…

Chemistry relates to everything you could possibly think of on the planet. They relate to every object and every natural event and hazard. Such as sinkholes, there a very intimidating and scary event that could happen at any moment . Sinkholes occur when the limestone beneath us breaks away by acidic rain and eventually the ground gives creating an open hole in our earth`s surface. Chemistry can relate to chemical reactions, one of the chemical reactions that occur is the creation of acidic rain…

caffeine is isolated from a bag of tea. Procedure: Each group was given a tea bag to boil in 100 milliliters of water. Before boiling the tea bag, the tea bag was placed in a 250 milliliters Erlenmeyer flask and 0.3 grams of sodium carbonate was added in. Sodium carbonate prevents caffeine from…

For an example, there is CO2 in the air from human activity that then reacts to sea water and creates carbonic acid (H2CO3). The H2CO3 then dissociates into a hydrogen proton and a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-). When carbonate ions combine with a hydrogen ion the concentration of dissolved carbonate diminishes. The guiding question that is used for our research is What does the different concentrations of acid do to the seashell. The hypothesis is, that the changes of the concentrations…

Taking care of your body is a necessity that requires a daily basis commitment. Dieting is known as the “only way” to become healthy, but simply eating wiser food choices that still satisfy your stomach is certainly an option. Read carefully Mitchell, as I am going to inform and caution you to become aware of the composition of the food that you are consuming and how it affects your body. After reading my helpful tips, you will be more acquainted with the different carbon compounds and how they…

Prior to the Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) there was little oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygenation of the atmosphere occurred in two steps, at the beginning and end of the Proterozoic eon (Frei, et al., 2013). In the GOE the surface oceans began to become oxygenated (Holland, 2006). The Second stage of oxygenation is known as the Neoproterozoic Oxygenation Event (NOE) and occurred after the 650-635Ma in the Marinoan glaciation (Sahoo, et al., 2012) (Feulner & Kienert, 2014). The NOE is thought to…
