Y ou may have heard that omega 3 fatty acids can actually play a role in the treatment and prevention of depression. Does the rumor reign true? Can consuming omega 3 fatty acids really help fight depression? This article will give you all the information you need to know on the hot topic of omega 3 fatty acids and depression. To begin‚ we will start by explaining what omega 3 fatty acids are. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids. This means that they are vital for human health. However

Chemistry Laboratory I Acid Base Review Definition In general‚ an acid is a substance that can donate a proton (H+) and a base is a substance that can accept a proton. Any proton in an organic molecule can potentially be donated. The most acidic proton in a molecule would be donated first. Any lone pair in an organic molecule can act as the proton acceptor. An acid (HA) reacts with a base (in this case H2O) to form the conjugate base of the acid (A-) and the conjugate acid of the base (H3O+).

The full strength 1M HCl acid had a pH level of 3.12 (Table 3.1). Sample A2 to A4 remained in the pH 3 level‚ while sample A5 and A6 had a pH range of 4 (Table 3.1). The pH level for 1M HCl dilutions slightly increased between each sample (Table 3.1). The diluted solutions of 1 M NaOH showed a few unexpected results. The original solution of 1 M NaOH was at a pH level of 11.50 (Table 3.1). However‚ the pH of sample B2 increased to 12.81 (Table 3.1). The remaining samples had a decreasing pH pattern

and depression. Natural Cures for Depression - Nutrition Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These are a good type of fat that are essential for health of the human brain. Our body cannot synthesize these nutrients. Hence these should be included in the dietary intake. Fish‚ especially fatty ones like salmon‚ sardines‚ mackerel‚ trout‚ and herring are rich sources of these compounds. Studies have found that Omega-3 fatty acids result in low levels of depression. People of Japan and Taiwan‚ who have high

constant of acetic acid Chemistry (HL) Research Question: To determine the pH of various mixtures of sodium acetate and acetic acid in an aqueous solution and hence to find the dissociation constant of the acetic acid. Background: The mixture of sodium acetate and acetic acid in aqueous solution is a buffer solution. Buffer solutions are the solutions which resist a sudden change in the pH due to addition of small amounts of strong acid or base. An acidic buffer is a mixture of a weak acid and its salt

To investigate how does the concentration of Hydrochloric acid affect the rate of reaction? Outline I aim to discover how different concentrations of Hydrochloric acid influence the rates of reaction. In order to carry out this investigation I have decided to use marble chips‚ which I will vary the sizes as powder‚ small chips and large chips. I will also be changing the concentration‚ the different concentrations are as follows 0.2m‚ 0.5m‚ 1m‚ 1.5‚ 2m. I have chosen these concentrations as they

in acid-base titrations Objectives 1. To understand the importance of choosing suitable indicators for detecting the end points of acid-base titrations. 2. To obtain titration curves for some acid-base titrations. Introduction Indicator is usually a weak organic acid or base that has distinctly different colours in its protonated and deprotonated forms. There are 4 types of acid-base titrations such as strong acid-weak base titration‚ weak acid-strong base titration‚ strong acid-strong
