Sodium compounds

Background : Stoichiometry is the relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or forming a compound, typically a ratio of whole integers. In the lab that I did with my group we used stoichiometry to find out the decomposition of sodium biocarbonate. Sodium carbonate is just another name for baking soda, and that is what we used on our lab. Baking soda is also used in some food items, such as pancakes, waffles etc… When the baking soda is being heated…

An antacid is composed of a basic chemical compound (the active ingredient), which is an essential component of a neutralization reaction. When this compound along with an acidic compound (HCl) dissociates, it react and form neutralized components such as water and a salt. This is an ideal mechanism of action for individuals who suffer from acid reflux or heartburn conditions because the excessive HCl that is found in the stomach can be alleviated by ingesting antacid tablets. This experiment…

The relative peak areas of the different compounds in each category were calculated as a ratio of the total peak area in relation to the peak area of the internal standard. Accordingly, a total of 88 volatile compounds were identified. The identified volatile compounds were classified into different groups of molecules, such as hydrocarbons (Aliphatic hydrocarbons (12), branched hydrocarbons (7), unsaturated…

the reactions as being of one type or another. The first reaction is Acid-base (Neutralization) Reaction. A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid and base are mixed together. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt. The combination of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide produces common table salt. An example is…

ii. Non-Acidic Oxygen Compounds Figure 3.4 Isomers of non-acidic oxygen compounds (Retrieved from Chemistry of Petrochemical Processes, 2nd Edition, 2001). C .Asphlathenes It is organometallic compounds and inorganic salts (metallic compounds). Mostly sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, iron, vanadium, nickel are present either as inorganic salts, such as sodium and magnesium chlorides, or in the form of organometallic compounds, such as those of nickel and vanadium (as in porphyrins).…

NIMOTOP INJECTION Nimodipine 0.02% solution contains the following excipients: Ethanol 96%, Macrogol 400, sodium citrate, citric acid, Water for Injections Ph. Eur. These excipients consist of properties that aim towards the proper functionality of Nimotop. They consist of inherent stabilities that cause little or no effect in the stability of the drug and they do not have any acute or chronic toxicity. The excipients are also added into the Nimodipine 0.02% solution to enhance the biological…

A bicarbonate is considered an acid-base neutralization reaction. Compounds with carbonate and bicarbonate ions are considered bases because they accept hydrogen ions from acid molecules, thus neutralizing the acid. This is very similar to an acid-base neutralization reaction, the only difference being that this produces…

Description Have you experienced heartburn? Do you like cooking and baking? Have you encountered stubborn stains? If you answered yes to any of these, then sodium bicarbonate is your friend. In this lesson, we will discuss sodium bicarbonate and its many uses. !!!What is Sodium Bicarbonate? Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as ‘’baking soda’’, is a staple in the kitchen. It is a must-have ingredient if you love baking cookies and other sweets. It is also very useful in deodorizing your…

crystallize under such low temperature. In part II, the filtrate now contains more chloride and sodium ions, so NaCl is to be removed next. Since NaCl is the least soluble out of the four possible salts at the majority of temperatures, but does not change solubility very much with the change of temperature. Therefore, the best way to crystallize NaCl is by evaporation. Through evaporation, the concentrations of sodium ions and chloride ions increased. The concentrations of the ions were so high…

completion. By titrating an unknown concentration of acid or base with a known concentration of acid or base, you can calculate properties such as the concentration and pKa of the analyte. During the standardization part of this reaction, we are adding Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH to a solution…
