Sodium is a mineral that is present only in small quantities in most natural foods‚ but salt is added‚ often in large amounts‚ in food processing and by cooks to enhance flavor. Sodium is the predominant ion in extra cellular fluid. Sodium (Na) is the predominant cation in extra cellular fluid and its concentration is under tight homeostatic control. Excess dietary sodium is excreted in the urine. The kidney very efficiently reabsorbs the mineral when intakes are low or losses are excessive. Sodium

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

Sodium chloride‚ also known as salt‚ common salt‚ table salt‚ or halite‚ is an ionic compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. As the major ingredient in edible salt‚ it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. [edit] Properties Thermal conductivity of pure NaCl as a function of temperature has a maximum of 2.03 W/(cm K) at 8 K and decreases to 0.069 at 314

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

Preparation of food takes a lot of time. Even if the dish is only composed of fruits. A lot of dishes have vegetables in them. These can also be useful especially when preparing lots of different food at the same time. If you look at cooking websites they will suggest to use lemon water. In our experiment we will attempt to find out which is better at preserving the sliced‚ chopped‚ and or diced food. Since our experiments are limited by time and costs‚ we will stick to the simplest of the available

increased the amount of carbon dioxide being released into our environment. The team of researchers also discovered that magnified pyrite (commonly known as fool’s gold) oxidation created acidity that allowed carbon dioxide into our oceans and altered the Earth’s carbon cycle. Over a time period of 10‚000 years‚ glacial oxidation could have altered the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere by nearly

9.1.1 Define oxidation and reduction in terms of electron loss and gain. Oxidation: the loss of electrons Reduction: the gain of electrons 9.1.2 Deduce the oxidation number of an element in a compound. Always determine elements that never change their oxidation number then ensure the charge of whole molecule is right. N.B. Atoms in elemental state have oxidation numbers of 0 9.1.3 State the names of compounds using oxidation numbers. Example of this in iron‚ can be iron(II) or iron(III) 9.1.4 Deduce

KNES 470 Dr Rubin 4-18-12 Sodium Bicarbonate and Boxing Performance Boxing is a sport which relies on anaerobic power since it contains short-duration and high intensity work. A typical boxing match today consists of 3 minute rounds with a 1 minute seated recovery rest. When an athlete performs exercise at maximal level for more than 30 seconds‚ most of the energy comes from anaerobic glycolysis. During this process‚ lactic acid is produced which causes a decrease in pH levels within the muscle
