Sodium chloride

potential of Neuron A (presynaptic neuron) reaches -60mV the sodium and potassium channels in the neuron open at the beginning of the axon. The influx of positive sodium ions into the cell makes the inside of the cell more positive and leaves the outside of the cell more negative. The cell is at rest at -70mV and as it gets more positive, it reaches threshold (gets more excited). This change in electrical potential also excites neighboring sodium and potassium channels to open up in a chain…

It is well known that all organisms require at least some water to survive, even the most hardy creature on the planet earth, the tardigrade, Hypsibius dujardini, which can survive near complete dehydration, exposure to extreme radiation, vacuum, temperature and pressure, must be rejuvenated with water if it is to resume life after near complete desiccation (Gabriel, et al. 2007). H. dujardini, famous for surviving some of the harshest conditions of any organism we know of, is a perfect example…

with hydrochloric acid (HCL) were supported. There is a reaction whose products are water and salt (and a gas – carbon dioxide). The reaction is as follows: X + 2HCL = H2O + CO2 + salt (metal of X+CL2). Due to the reason that this reaction needs two chloride molecules, the electrical charge of the metal of compound X should be +2. A number of sources show that therefore, compound X is calcium carbonate…

oxide that works as both an acid or a base. Thus, the reaction resulted in the production of a murky coloured liquid. If a full neutralization reaction was to completed, a product of a transparent solution should have been created. Sodium phosphate and potassium sodium tartrate are both not strong bases and that is why the average pH change was quite low. Both of them are not bases, however, they have a high pH. This is why they were both able to increase the pH on the acidic solution. A…

The rate at which a reaction occurs, referred to as reaction rate, is a type of reaction property that directly measures the extent of a reaction. Changes in concentration affect reaction rates in chemical formulas, and if the reaction is not specifically known, the rate cannot be determined. The rates are given in negative or positive measurements depending on whether the concentration is a reactant or product. Knowing this, the first step in finding the reaction rate would be to determine the…

heating process , we could see the colour of the solution was changing from blue to black slowly. Not only that , but black precipitate settling at the bottom of the beaker. Equation : (s) + heat ---> CuO (s) + (l) Preperation of chloride complex Reagent Appearance Volume/Mass Concentration HCL Colorless Liquid 50 drops…

Research Question: To compare the enthalpy change of reaction of 3 neutralization reactions by using 3 different acids of distinct pH. The same base of NaOH will be used in all three experiments. Introduction: Chemical reactions always have energy change. Energy in the form of heat, if liberated is known as exothermic and if absorbed in the reaction is known as endothermic. When a reaction carried out under standard condition at a of temperature 298K and 1 atm of pressure and 1 mole of water…

Determination of Isoprenaline Hydrochloride Concentration Using Ultra Violet/ Visible Spectroscopy and Quantification of Sodium and Potassium Using Flame Spectroscopy Introduction In UV/VIS (ultraviolet-visible light) spectroscopy, light absorption as a function of various wavelengths gives data about electronic transitions within a solution [1]. The electronic transitions involve exciting an electron from one principle quantum state to another by the absorption of energy [2]. A change in…

vary, much like salt water. Also similar to salt water, slime often consists of H2O, either as a solvent or in a chemical bond. For example, “One variety of slime that can be easily made in the lab involves the addition of a saturated solution of sodium tetraborate decahydrate (Na2B4O7⦁10H2O), commonly known as borax, to a solution of glue and water” (Rohrig 3). Borax is commonly used…

M & M Three oranges were cut in half and then placed over the juicer. The oranges were then pressed down, while being twisted allowing the juices from the oranges to be collected in the tray below. The orange juice in the trays were then poured into a 250ml beaker with cheese cloth on top of it. The cheesecloth caught the larger pieces of pulp from the oranges while allowing the juice to pass. The orange juice was then transferred into six 1.5ml centrifuge tubes. The six centrifuge were then…
