Potassium sodium tartrate

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…

of salt — in fact, most foods contain too much salt and sodium. Fast food, processed food, and salty snacks are all parts of numerous diets; sending thousands of milligrams of extra sodium into people’s bodies. Today, salts are used in processed foods as preservatives, taste enhancers, and even flavor enhancers. The United States Food and Drug Administrations recommends that people should not consume any more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day. However, the average intake is 3,400…

for my grade insurance paper is “Albuterol and Insulin therapy in hemodialysis patients. http://www.nature.com/ki/journal/v38/n5/index.html. The reason I chose this article is because we have been going over potassium and action potential in class I have been extremely interested in potassium, part of this is because hyperkalemia is one of the few electrolyte imbalances we can start treatment for in a pre-hospital setting. The article was very informative and allowed me a new learning…

and the extra sodium could increase the risk of high blood pressure over time” (Schaefer). If an athlete is not doing an intense workout the sugar they are taking in is not going to help them re-energize, it is just storing the fat inside of you and causing you to gain weight. Another side effect would be high blood pressure, which is caused by high amounts of salts and in Gatorade, there is 800milligrams which is 33% of what you should be consuming daily (Schaefer). Yes, you lose sodium when…

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…

However, despite the emitted light being distinct and personalized to each cation used in this experiment, flame tests are limited with regards to their inability to identify more than one metal cation present in a solution.13 If two or more cations were present in a solution, the results are highly probable of being classified as indefinite since the color of the flame cannot be clearly attributed to a single cation. The colors of flame tests are also susceptible to subjectivity, especially…

her previous symptoms need to be followed up on. Her progression in her recovery is determined through a urinalysis, blood test, and measure of blood pressure every visit. She should also keep in mind that her sodium levels are already relatively high so she should restrict the amount of sodium she consumes. There usually aren’t any more complications than that but if she notices any symptoms of post streptococcal glomerulonephritis starting to return she should immediately get it…

African Americans have among the highest rates of hypertension (consistent elevation of systemic arterial blood pressure) in comparison to other nationalities. Many factors have contributed to this epidemic, including geographical location, lifestyle and dietary habits, and even genetic components. Morbidity and mortality rates are greatly affected by compliance and management in African Americans battling hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases. This literature review will explore the…

Purpose: My idea for this lab occurred one day when I wondered if a sports drink could actually affect someone’s performance and possibly improve it or could this just be a marketing ploy to get athletes to buy their drink. I personally enjoy running and personal fitness and I do not think that sports drinks affect me before a run or weight training so I decided to test and see the results. If the tests show that it improves performance I may want to start drinking sports drinks to enhance…

When you think Sodium what do you think of? Well when I think of sodium I go back to biology and remember learning about the elements and how our bodies. We are made of so many chemicals, like salt which is sodium chloride, Water which is Hydrogen and oxygen, and electricity. Now let's look at what your Cardiovascular health is. Cardiovascular problems, which are problems that affect the heart and blood vessels, are some of the greatest overall health problems in the United States and around…
