A hydrate is any compound that contains water. An anhydrous compound is a hydrate in which the water is taken out of it by a process of dehydration. One example would be Epsom salts. The chemical formula for Epsom salts is MgSO4 · 7H2O.…

Matt Weiser’s article “Water Controversies Boil Over” from Sacramento Bee’s opinion column explains how the world’s bad management of water has led to scarcity. Weiser claims that human’s careless behavior with water is going to cause a war. He validates his argument with facts from the World WAter Forum, U.N Environment Programme, and International Alert to support his reasoning.…
Hydrate is a chemical compound that takes in water molecules from its domain and makes them as part of its structure. Many different compounds form hydrates. To determine the formula of a compound of a hydrate, an experiment must be presented by identifying how many water molecules are mixed into the crystal structure for each molecule of the anhydrous salt.…
The book, The Color of Water, was written by James McBride. It tells the story of a Jewish, white woman named Ruth who married two black men and had many children. Ruth’s child, James, did not understand why his mother was black and he was white. There were many factors that led to character’s disenfranchisement while growing up during the 1960s at the height of the Black Power movement. This disillusionment led James McBride to research and write about the story of his mother’s life.…
Water is one of the most important molecules necessary to life. humans, for example, are made up of 70% water.…
Drinking water from a pure copper mug is considered very beneficial for our well-being. By storing water in one of the copper mugs, minute traces of copper will start to leach into the water. Plus, the water that is left in these mugs will stay fresh for a long-time and won't start to taste stale. Here are five reasons to drink from a copper mug: Digestive system Copper contains beneficial properties that can promote the more efficient digestive system. A well-balanced diet that includes the copper-infused water can help the stomach in several ways, such as reducing inflammation, killing harmful bacteria, and increasing the ability to fight infections, indigestion, and ulcers.…
People have been using salt since 6050 bc.We have used it for seasoning, preservation, and in the last century for lowering the freezing point of water(History of Salt). In pure water 0 degrees celsius is the normal freezing point of water. Ice will melt just as fast the water will freeze. You won't see the melting and freezing processes as long as they are balanced and equal. Adding salt or any foreign substance to the water upsets the fragile equality between freezing and melting. Less of the water molecules reach the surface of the ice in an amount of given time. The melting rate isn't changed by the salt, so melting is going to happen faster than the freezing. This makes the ice melt(Frederick A. Senese, Why can adding salt to ice water make the ice melt slower?).…
Water is essential to all living things, be it plants for photosynthesis or animal or bodily functions. The human body requires water to cleanse and maintain the body. When we sustain a good supply of it, we are hydrated. The term for when we are lacking in water is dehydration. Staying hydrated and knowing the signs of dehydration are simple yet important tasks.…
What factors contribute to who you are today? A question that many struggle with including James McBride, the author of The Color of Water. James struggled with finding himself because of his mixed background, a white Jewish mother and a Black father. When James finally gets an understanding of the culture, races, and religions that surrounds him it helps him to gain his own identity, point of view, and allows him to share his experiences with others who may be going through the same things in his writing.…
Being properly hydrated is something that can be the barrier between life and death. I have ran track for eight plus years. Those eight plus years entailed two to three hour practices Monday through Friday and all day track meets on the weekends in the blazing sun. Being a part of this sport for so long has allowed me to work with numerous coaches who have their own methods and hydration beliefs, that they swear are the most effective. Throughout all my years, I have never explicitly been told that I was not able to have water during a workout but I did have a coach who limited our water consumption. He was concerned with athletes cramping up or vomiting because they were running with too much water in their stomachs too close to practice…
I walk into a hospital and I try to assess all of the medical equipment. I come across an IV bag and a feeding tube; I begin to wonder if these items are as important as a breathing machine. I think to myself, well they all keep a person alive, and that answers my question. Today, I will be arguing the claim that withdrawing artificial nutrition and hydration is not morally different from other types of life-sustaining treatments. I will cover what each procedure is, how each procedure is performed, and the risks/benefits of these procedures. With that information, I can assess how each of these treatments relates to other life sustaining treatments such as ventilated life support.…
Keeping patients hydrated by giving them enough clean water and monitoring their fluid intake to prevent dehydration effects, such as dizziness and dry mouth, is seen in the RCN’s enhanced nutritional care, which was formed using Florence Nightingale’s theory on keeping a clean environment for the patients’ recovery. In Nightingale’s environmental theory, making sure that the water is clean and pure can prevent patients from getting sicker when around patients who have other diseases instead of using polluted water from poor drainage to be used for patients’ healing (Nightingale, 1850). Today, there are nearly 38% of hospitals and health-care facilities around the world are unable to use safe, clean water; and the Royal College of Nursing recognized this that they ensure patients in acute care receive clean, fresh water to encourage hydration.…
