History of Calcium- Calcium is a very interesting element that has a lot to tell about itself. There is much history to be learned about calcium. Calcium was actually discovered by Humphry Davy in 1808. Calcium’s name happens to come from the latin ‘calx’ meaning lime. Lime (calcium oxide‚ CaO) was a useful material that was created by heating limestone. Before the discovery of calcium‚ a man named Antoine Lavoisier classified the lime as “earth” because it was very difficult‚ almost

Describe the role of calcium in muscle contraction‚ where it is stored‚ and how it is released and recycled. Calcium storage‚ release‚ and recycling Muscles need to be malleable or have plasticity in order to function correctly. This is where calcium comes into the picture. All muscles use calcium molecules for regulatory and signaling purposes. Contraction control and relaxation control by calcium is achieved first by the activation of troponin-tropomyosin with the actin filaments. The second

determine energy lost by Calcium Chloride and gained by Ammonium Nitrate when dissolved in Water. Theory: Exothermic reactions are when net energy is lost in process of reaction. When solid calcium chloride (chemical formula CaCl₂) is placed in water‚ the calcium chloride dissolves and liberates heat in the process. Calcium chloride is one of the ingredients in instant "hot packs" sold in retail stores. Some concrete mixes incorporate calcium chloride to decrease drying time. Calcium chloride is also used

Acid-Base Titration Pre-Lab Discussion In the chemistry laboratory‚ it is sometimes necessary to experimentally determine the concentration of an acid solution or a base solution. A procedure for making this kind of determination is called an acid-base titration. In this procedure‚ a solution of known concentration‚ called the standard solution‚ is used to neutralize a precisely measured volume of the solution of unknown concentration to which one or two drops of an appropriate acid-base

Question 2 3) Calcium in the diet of a teenager is actively absorbed in the small intestine and transferred into the intestinal capillaries. Describe the route this calcium would follow to end up in the upper arm. Describe in detail the role of calcium at the neuromuscular junction as well as its role in the mechanism of muscle contraction and relaxation of the triceps. Considering the function of calcium in bone growth‚ explain in detail how the humerus would grow in length. Calcium in the diet

Analysis of a Metal Carbonate Lab Objective: In this lab we will determine the identity of a group 1 metal carbonate compound by gravimetric analysis. The unknown is weighed and dissolved in water and the precipitate is filtered‚ dried‚ and weighed. From the data the formula weight and identity of the unknown metal carbonate is determined. Lab Procedure: 1. Set up the Bunsen burner and ring clamp‚ light the burner and heat the crucible. 2. Add 2g of unknown carbonate to the crucible and

Acid-Base Titration Background Information A titration is a controlled addition of one substance into another substance. In an acid-base titration‚ the experimenter will add a base of known concentration to an acid of unknown concentration (or vice-versa). The goal of the titration is usually to use the substance of known concentration to determine the concentration of the other substance. In order to run a titration‚ the following materials are needed: • A buret filled with the base (or acid) of
Free Titration
Introduction Titration is a volumetric analysis technique used to find the concentration of an unknown substance. There are several types of titration but the one used for this experiment is called acid-base titration as the substance we are titrating is acidic. Acid-base titrations are based on the neutralisation reaction between the analyte and the acidic or basic titrant. The analyte is the solution of unknown concentration and the titrant is the solution of accurately known concentration used
Free Titration
Titration is a method used to help determine the concentration of an unknown solution (the analyte) by using a solution of known concentration (the titrant).1 In medicine‚ titration helps doctors determine unknown concentrations of substances in the blood or urine‚ and it is useful in determining the proper dosage of medication. Titration can determine fat and water contents‚ and unknown concentrations of vitamins. With food‚ titration can be used to determine whether cheese or wine is adequately
