Magnesium sulfate

Discussion of Results: This experiment consists of three different parts. The main goal of the experiment is to identify the unknown compound the lab group was given. Along with this, the group is to discover the compounds many physical or chemical properties. Lastly, the group is supposed to create and preform two syntheses of the compound and see how they compare and contrast in different areas like costs effectiveness, safety, and potential yield of the compound. Through all of these…

Discussion For the first part of the experiment, a solubility test was conducted on all compounds. Because they were all ionic, every known compound naturally dissolved in water, and conducted electricity. As the next determining factor in the process to identify the unknown substance, the compounds were tested in acetone. As seen in table 2, only one compound, Ca(NO3)2 was found to be soluble in this solvent. Because the unknown solid was insoluble in acetone, Ca(NO3)2 was then eliminated as a…

Magnesium Sulphate Paste Magnesium sulfate, also known as Epsom salt, is a common household item that has numerous uses. Some people use it for therapeutic purposes, especially when used in hydrotherapy, bath soaks, and other formulas. One form of therapeutic product commonly used is magnesium sulphate paste, which you can make at home for personal use. This paste can be used like a skin ointment to treat common conditions. Learn more about the benefits of magnesium sulphate and how to make your…

she probably has no idea what they mean. They inject her with different drugs she needs to keep the baby alive. They have this one drug the doctors often give pregnant ladies with high blood pressure, called Magnesium Sulfate. About thirty minutes after they inject someone with Magnesium Sulfate, the person starts to feel woozy and sick. If they have eaten anything previously it all comes up. The doctors say it makes people feel drunk, however, it more so, makes someone feel; ill, cross eyes,…

to try to delay delivery (by up to about 48 hours) in order to give the baby a bit more time to develop and to give the steroids an opportunity to work. Magnesium sulfate can also be given to a pregnant woman who is at risk of delivering prematurely within seven days, though usually this is not done before 24 weeks of gestation. Magnesium sulfate is thought to help provide neuroprotection for the baby, reducing the risk that the premature infant will later develop cerebral…

What was left in the funnel was assumed to be the neutral component of the mixture. The process for isolating it was simple enough anhydrous magnesium sulfate was available. Magnesium sulfate being an excellent desiccant especially when…

hydrate, MgSO_4, may have been heated too long. This is a random error because when the hydrate has been heated too long, some of it could have reacted with the molecules in the atmosphere. As a result, the magnesium that was part of the anhydrous salt could have reacted with oxygen, thus forming magnesium oxide and losing…

Affecting 3% to 5% of women, preeclampsia is the most sever complication in pregnancy and is the leading cause of fetal and maternal death. Within that 3 to 5 percent the most commonly affected by preeclampsia are teens, women with diabetes and African American women. Preeclampsia is a disease unique to pregnancy and is classified as a multisystem disease because not only does it affect the most obvious body system, the reproductive system, it also affects the nervous and respiratory system…

At first glance, all the substances may have been considered to be similar, as they are all white substances that are generally fine powder or small crystals. However, the lab revealed substances C: citric acid, D: sucrose, and H: benzoic acid to be covalent compounds, while the remaining substances to be all ionic. The previously stated covalent compounds all were found to have low relative melting points when heating them on a hot plate, but they had mixed results to their solubilities:…

mixture was allowed to stir and react for 1.5 hours at 0° Celsius. The phases were then separated. The aqueous phase was washed with methylene chloride twice with 15 mL of methylene chloride. The organic extracts were combined and dried with magnesium sulfate and the solvent was removed with rotary evaporator. Synthesis of 10-(Camphorsulfonyl)imine (4) 163mg of Amberylst 15 ion exchange resin was added to 3. The round bottom, containing the mixture, was fitted with a Dean-Stark trap and a…
