Sodium chloride

and not replacing them can lead to dehydration. Electrolytes are salt ions with a positive or negative charge. Electrolytes form when minerals dissolve in water. There are several main types of electrolytes in the body: Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate. Sodium and Chloride regulates the water in the body, but having too much little can cause problems with hydration. Potassium is the electrolyte that is important for heart function. Bicarbonate regulates the pH level of your blood,…

presence of anions; for example, we took a pinch of sodium sulfate and added it to a test tube, added 1mL of hydrochloric acid, and then added barium chloride to the test tube. This reaction formed a white, milky precipitate, indicating sulfate ions' presence; see Table 2 of week 1 for results. Then we moved on to our cation test; this test involved a pH test, flame test, and more reaction tests. In one of our tests, we reacted ammonium nitrate with sodium hydroxide to create a solution; then,…

is a gas. Chlorine contains 17 protons and 17 electrons and also contains 18 neutrons. The density of the chemical element Chlorine is 3.214 c/cm3. Like every member of the halogen group, chlorine has a tendency to gain one electron and become a chloride ion. Chlorine…

endoplasmic reticulum which leads the protein to be degraded and thus never reaches the cell membrane whereas with a normal CFTR protein, the protein actually reaches the cell membrane and is integrated into it. CFTR works as a channel that exports chloride ions across the membrane; this is the function that is affected when the gene is mutated.…

Lloyd Augustus Hall was born in Elgin, Illinois on June 20th, 1894. While growing up he was an honors student at West Side High School in Aurora, Illinois. He was captain of the school debate team while competing in baseball, football, and track. He graduated high school at the top 10 of his class. Hall then chose to attend Northwestern University. In 1916, he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry. He then graduated, earning a degree from the University of Chicago. Through a…

were labeled “with mustard”, “with chili powder”, and “with sodium chloride”. For each beaker three respirometers were needed to be set up. In all three beakers 5 mL of yeast was added and also 5 mL of glucose was added. Going with the labels 5 mL of mustard solution was added to the “with mustard” beaker. 5 mL of chili powder was added to “with chili powder” beaker and again 5 mL of sodium chloride was placed in the “with sodium chloride” beaker. Next the beakers were left to incubate for…

B-complex which is formed by pyruvate yeast extract encourages growth. The selectivity of the medium is influenced by Lithium chloride and 1% potassium Tellurite solution which inhibits the growth of other organisms beside staphylococci. Coagulase differentiation results from the addition of potassium Tellurite and egg yolk emulsion. Staphylococci that has lectithinase breaks down…

Tea Leaves One tea bag was obtained and weighed. A 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask was acquired with 0.3 grams of sodium carbonate. The tea bag was placed inside the flask with 100 mL of water and the 0.3 grams of sodium carbonate. Then, a boiling chip was added to the flask and the flask was placed on a hot plate. Sodium carbonate was added to the flask because it served as a weak base. The sodium carbonate cleaved the ester bond of tannin, which made tannin a water-soluble compound in the solution.…

Production of soaps and detergents for oil spill cleanup With another catastrophic oil spill hitting the coast in the last 50 years an environmental group has volunteered to help clean up the spill, specifically to use on affected birds. With environmental concerns in mind, tasked was to create an environmental friendly soap or detergent sufficient enough to clean up the mess left behind. In addition to the creation of soap for the purpose of cleaning, needed was a soap or detergent that would…

electrolytes found in our body such as sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and so forth. Electrolytes have many functions throughout the body for instance controlling the water balance in the body. Also assisting transmitting nerve impulses and helping your muscles relax and contract. For example Sodium chloride which is also know by the formula NaCl, is a compound which is formed from the process of ionic bonding with Sodium and Chloride. However sodium chloride is a vital electrolyte…
