Potassium bicarbonate

The body maintains a constant pH of 7.4 with many buffers in place. There are many systems created to hold a constant pH balance. Blood has many components to help the body stay stable. the Body’s pH allows us to do everyday life without constantly being sick. A buffer is a mix of a weak acid and a conjugate base in a solution. They resist pH change when acids or bases are added to the solution. Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. Red blood cells…

Summary Dr. Marshall had dinner with puffer fish and rice during his trip to Indonesia. Not even an hour later, he suddenly felt numbness in his lips, tongue, face and neck. Dr. Marshal also had a feeling of nausea and acutely vomiting because of the pains in his stomach and throat. He was immediately rushed to the ED. His symptoms are diaphoresis, motor dysfunction, parethesias, nausea, ascending paralysis, cyanosis, and hypoventilation. He was prescribed with atropine due to the bradycardia.…

Cells use various methods of transportation to move material in and out of the cell. The semi-permeable plasma membrane surrounds the cell and allows certain materials to enter and exit the cell. Simple diffusion is movement of molecule through the plasma membrane without the help of any channel or proteins. In simple diffusion molecule move down their concentration gradient; as a result, they don’t require energy input. In the computer simulated lab for simple diffusion, nothing will move…

Hydrochloride is a toxic acid when ingested or inhaled and is corrosive to skin and eyes and is best to avoided contact with body tissue. Strontium and barium are compounds that if ingested are highly toxic. Potassium iodate solution is moderate toxic but is a stronger irritant except water which in this case has no safety issues in relation to this lab. The element’s being used in this lab are aluminum, calcium and magnesium. What was needed was 4 pieces of…

The different chemicals that were used in this experiment were Pilocarpine, Atropine Sulfate, Epinephrine, Digitals, Potassium, Sodium, and calcium ion concertation. Pilocarpine stimulates the effect of parasympathetic nerve stimulation by enhancing acetylcholine release. Atropine Sulfate is a drug that blocks the effect of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which is liberated by the parasympathetic nerve endings. Cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle are both different in functionally and in fine…

1. In our notes, we reviewed the Major mineral: Sodium. We know from news and health professionals, our intake of sodium is well over recommendations for our bodies need. List three specific changes you could make to your diet to decrease your sodium intake. • Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables since they are low in sodium. I have also learned that canned and frozen fruits are also low in sodium. • When buying frozen vegetables I have learned that reading the label will help you to…

To start off with this experiment, we drew dot structures for each compound and decided whether the compound was polar, nonpolar, or ionic. We found that KCl and CaCl*2H2O were ionic compounds, so we used the electrical conductivity tester to insure us that they indeed conducted electricity. After testing these two compounds, we decided that KCl was the solution labeled “Wolves” and CaCl*2H2O was the solution labeled “Swarm”. We decided this because we knew that the CaCl*2H2O compound was a…

35% less salt than regular salt — Saltwell. Saltwell is a new salt produced by Salinity, a company based in Halmstad, Sweden, for organic use that contains 35% less sodium that regular salts. The salt is composed of 65% sodium chloride and 30% potassium chloride. Additionally, it is an “organic-certified rice hull concentrate” that can be used as an anti-caking agent. Saltwell is produced in a unique way. First, it is sun-dried by the sun. Next, Salinity bakes the minerals together — creating…

you are taking it during and hours before your workout that sodium will just sit and it will not replenish your body. However, if you take it after a workout as suggested, it will help your body function better and give it new energy. Sodium and potassium are in the electrolytes category and as stated electrolytes are vital for our bodily fluids and help prevent muscles from cramping up after intense workouts while helping keep the body well hydrated. I personally use to run long hours and…

The atomic number of 45 belongs to the element rhodium which is derived from the Greek word Rhodon meaning rose. It was first discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, an English chemist. it is known as one of the PGM (platinum-group metals). Canada, Russia and south Africa are one of the top three producers of rhodium as south Africa as main exporter. It is usually found together with other PGMs as ores mined in its reserves. People who love jewelries are often attracted to the rarity of…
