Calcium is essential to health yet it holds a hidden danger that brings us to our graves much quicker then we would like. Calcium is the most promoted nutrient by proponents of conventional‚ nutritional‚ and alternative medicine. This is a great and tragic mistake. They should have been promoting magnesium. Magnesium deficiency leads to an increase in myocardial levels of both sodium and calcium. This is a problem because Coronary Artery calcium is a predictor of near-term coronary heart disease

Solubility is the ability of a substance‚ or solute‚ to dissolve and homogenously disperse throughout another substance‚ or solvent. In order for drugs to be therapeutically effective and bioavailable‚ it must first be highly soluble. Poor solubility and low dissolution rates of drugs in the aqueous gastrointestinal tract lead to decreased bioavailability. Solubilization of poorly soluble drugs is a challenge in the formulation of newly developed drugs. Because many medications are administered orally

a difference in the amount of calcium carbonate in brown versus white chicken eggs. Background: Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a component of seashells and eggshells that gives them their strength and hardness. Because calcium carbonate is a base‚ it will react with acids to form a salt and water. The complete reaction of calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is: CaCO3 (s) + HCl (aq) ( CaCl2 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l) The portion of the shell that is not calcium carbonate does not react with

Calcium is an extremely important factor for health and longevity. It serves both a structural and physiological role in the entire organism. Bones are constantly breaking down and rebuilding‚ and calcium is directly involved in this process. Calcium ions (Ca2+) are essential mediators of a wide variety of cellular activities‚ including the passing of information along neurons and between adjacent neurons. Hormonal regulation is also mediated by the proper functions of calcium and calcium ions

The desired product is isolated from its impurities by differences in solubility. Insoluble impurities and colored impurities can be removed from hot solvent through the use of activated carbon and filtration. Soluble impurities remain in the cold solvent after recrystallization. The desired product should be as soluble as

Separation of the Components of a Mixture General Chemistry 1 (Chem 101)‚ ISP SCUHS Report 2 January 26‚ 2014 Abstract The analyses of mixture were to distinguish and identify homogeneous mixture by using the techniques of decantation and sublimation. By performing these techniques‚ we examined our solutions such as SiO2 (sand)‚ NH4Cl (ammonium chloride)‚ and NaCl (sodium chloride) and mixed H2O (water) with each solution after being heated. After examining our solutions‚ we made calculations

Use solubility of group 2 to figure out periodic trends as well as identify unknown captions Introduction The goals of this experiment were to determine periodic trends in solubility of group 2 metals. The other goal was to use our knowledge of solubility’s to identify cations present in a single unknown Xe and double unknown XXe. I have hypothesized that the solubility

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

Solubility is the ability of one compound to dissolve in another compound. 4. a. Temperature - Basically‚ solubility increases with temperature. It is the case for most of the solvents. The situation is though different for gases. With increase of the temperature they became less soluble in each other and in
