maintain its pH balance; Di serum bicarbonate is 8mEq/L the normal range (24-28). Upon the return of the arterial blood and urinalysis, Di’s blood has a pH of 7.0 (normal range 7.35-7.45), her blood is too acidic and her urine as well as blood both have ketone bodies present. It is determined that Di has ketoacidosis, the lab results in combination to the acetone like odor from her breath. Ketoacidosis occurs when acetoacetic acid and beta-hydroxybutyric acid accumulate. Without the sufficient…

relationships between boiling point and molecular structure. To do this we used four different chemicals, all with the same molecule but just with different subscripts. To preform this experiment, we were required to use a hot plate, water bath, alcohols, ketones, and alkalines, a test tube, capillaries, and a test tube cap. Once the water was boiling, we lowered the test tube into the water and waited until the chemical began to boil. Once the chemical began to boil we removed the test tube…

of energy. Diabetic Ketoacidosis occurs when the cells can no longer take the glucose from the blood in an efficient manner. In this case the cells begin to convert fatty acids into energy. The byproduct of this conversion are ketone acids. Normally small amounts of ketone acids can be taken care of by the kidneys and the liver, however a large concentration can lower the body's PH level, in essence create an hyper acidic condition in the body. What causes it? As stated in the beginning…

Melting point is the technique that disrupts the IMAF’s and forces the molecule to break by adding thermal energy to increase kinetic energy to the compound. When melting the unknown the interactions within the IMAF’s of the molecule are decreasing causing a disruption within the structure of the lattices. Determining the melting point of Unknown 105 A helps narrow down the possible compound that it can be, by the given melting point range. The narrower the range represents the relative purity…

your muscle tone or health, the ketones detoxify and deep clean your cells of those “junk proteins” (included damaged proteins, organelles, and foreign bodies) from the watery interior of the cells to a special dumping ground (called the lysosome), where they are broken down and eliminated. Health Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet The ketogenic diet has been used to treat disease since the 1920s. As more research is conducted, scientists realize just how beneficial ketones are for the body, and…

Certain stressors and drugs can cause DKA include: acute infection, trauma, pancreatitis, stroke, corticosteroids, thiazide diuretics, and sympathomimetic. Signs and symptoms of DKA include: thirst, increased urination, high blood glucose and ketones in urine, tiredness, dry or flushed skin, fruity breath odor, confusion, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. In children, abdominal pain is often accompanied with DKA. Dehydration…

concentrated the urine is. If the urine is darker and has a smell then the urine is more concentrated. If the urine is a light colour and no smell that means it is not as concentrated. Additionally, the urine was tested to determine the pH, glucose, protein, ketone, yeast, blood, nitrite, bilirubin and urobilinogen. Glucose levels are tested in order to test for the plasma levels; if the glucose levels are high in the blood it could mean the patient has diabetes. If proteins are present in the…

electron deficient carbon. The reaction is favorable in Green Chemistry. It demonstrates green principles such as using no solvent and having a high atom economy. In the lab a mixed aldol reaction was performed to synthesize an unsaturated ketone from and aldehyde and ketone. By using an aldehyde, that doesn’t contain any hydrogen’s, one major product is formed. (Figure 1) When grinding 1-Indanone and 3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde a liquid mixture is formed, allowing this reaction to be solventless.…

a product that includes the synthesis of carbon-carbon bonds, however for this experiment the reaction that was utilized is aldol condensation. An aldol condensation is when an enolizable aldehyde or ketone undergoes a reaction, in the presence of a base or acid, and gives a beta unsaturated ketone or aldehyde (Utah Valley University, 2009). This type of reaction can also add carbonyls to a compound, using similar methods to the Grignard reaction. It is also important to note that in order for…

butylcyclohexanol and 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone while investigating the stereoselectivity of different reducing agents. During the first week, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol, a secondary alcohol (mixture of cis and trans stereoisomers) is to be oxidized into a ketone, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone using sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is used to monitor the progress of the the reaction. The second week of the reaction, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone is reduced using sodium…
