Sodium: Sodium is essential to all living beings Basic functions: Sodium has 3 main functions: it helps in the absorption of glucose and some amino acids in the small intestine‚ it is required for normal muscle and nerve function‚ and it aids in water balance. Glucose generated by digestion of starch or lactose is absorbed in the small intestine only by cotransport with sodium‚ a fact that has exceptionally important implications in medicine. Glucose and galactose are taken into the enterocyte by

Title: Redox Reaction Introduction: Some of the most important chemical reactions are Redox reactions. They are also known as oxidation-reduction reactions. This reaction passes one or more electrons from one species to another. The species that loses electrons are being oxidized while the species that gains electrons are reduced. The reaction occurs simultaneously. Numbers are given to each element in a chemical reaction to help us find out which element is oxidized and which is

Sodium hydroxide‚ also known as caustic soda‚[2][3] or lye‚ is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaOH (also written as NaHO). It is a white solid‚ and is a highly caustic metallic base and alkali salt. It is available in pellets‚ flakes‚ granules‚ and as a 50% saturated solution.[citation needed] Sodium hydroxide is soluble in water‚ ethanol and methanol. This alkali is deliquescent and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide in air. Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries

environments affecting the rate of reaction‚ PNPP (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) + H20 ? PNP (p-nitrophenol) + H3P04. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatase. Different environments produced different reaction rates as environmental factors affect the efficiency of phosphatase. This is because environmental factors can change the tertiary structure of phosphatase‚ which alters its active site‚ and thus changes its efficiency to catalyze the reaction. We measured the rate of reaction‚ by using a chromogenic

Chemistry 12: Reaction Kinetics Review 1. Looking at the expressions for reaction rate‚ write expressions with which you could express rates for the following reactions. (Hint: look at what happens to reactants and products.) Recall that solid or liquids can lose or gain mass‚ gases can lose or gain volume and aqueous solutions can increase or decrease in concentration. ("a" is done as an example.) a) Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) H2(g) + MgCl2(aq) reaction rate = mass of Mg consumed unit time b) c) or

Determining Order from Rates of Reactions AP Chemistry Purpose The focus of this experiment is to recognize that when aqueous solutions of potassium iodate ion (KIO3-) and bisulfite ion (HSO3-) are mixed‚ a series of reactions will occur‚ and the final reaction is signaled by the appearance of a dark blue color. My partners and I investigate how the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of reaction. The purpose of this lab is to find

Factors Affecting Reactions I. Factors Affecting Reactions [545] • Every chemical proceeds at its own rate. • By changing the conditions of the reaction‚ the rate of almost any reaction can be modified. • The rate of a chemical reaction depends upon: o Temperature o Concentration o Particle Size[SA] o Catalyst A. Temperature [545] • Increasing the temperature causes molecules to move faster‚ so there’s an increased chance of them colliding

Purpose: To determine the effect of various factors on the rate of reaction between an enzyme andits substrate‚ and also to determine the optimal ranges under which the enzyme activity ismaximized. Also to determine whether saline and alcohol are inhibitors or activators Hypothesis: PH factor prediction: I predict that as the pH increases so the activity of the enzyme willincrease until it reaches optimum pH range (pH 7) because the enzyme is less denaturedwhen it reaches the preferred pH level

purpose of laboratory assignment 3 was to measure the rate at which a chemical reaction takes place. For the purpose of this lab we measured the rate a balanced oxidation/reduction reaction between iodine‚ hydrogen‚ and bromate ion occurs. The above reaction occurs slowly so we used a coupled iodine clock reaction to measure the rate of the oxidation/reduction reaction because it occurs much faster but is still dependent upon the other reaction. To accomplish this‚ two mixtures were prepared in separate
