Similar to potassium‚ sodium is a major mineral‚ however‚ unlike potassium which maintains fluid and electrolyte balance inside the cell‚ sodium is a major part of the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance system because it is the chief ion used to maintain the volume of fluid outside cells. Sodium also helps maintain acid-base balance and is essential to muscle contraction and nerve transmission. The DRI recommended intakes for sodium for adults ages 19 to 50 years old is 1‚500 milligrams per day

believe that if the amount of sodium citrate is too low or too high‚ the sodium alginate solution would not form into a ball. The recommended amount of sodium citrate to be added to the sodium alginate solution was ⅛ teaspoon‚ or 0.5 grams. We supposed that if we exceeded this measurement‚ the sodium citrate would unbalance the whole solution‚ making the balls deform. If we added too little of the sodium citrate‚ we thought that there would be too little for the sodium citrate to fully do its job of

Investigating the Ratio Between Poly-Vinyl Alcohol and Sodium Borate to form a Bouncing Ball Timothy English Gen. Chem. 1 Lab Section: 009 Introduction: Poly-Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer that will be used as one element to form the well know bouncing ball‚ along with Sodium Borate (borax)‚ which has a variety of uses because of its weak base. PVA is ideal for this experiment because it is odorless‚ nontoxic‚ has high tensile strength and flexibility. The

Experiment 10: Solubility Product for Calcium Hydroxide GOAL AND OVERVIEW A saturated solution of Ca(OH)2 will be made by reacting calcium metal with water‚ then filtering off the solids: Ca(s) + H2O → Ca(OH)2(s) Ca2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) The concentration of dissolved hydroxide will be determined by acid-base titration with standardized HCl solution. The Ksp for Ca(OH)2 will be calculated from the experimentally determined saturation concentration of hydroxide. Objectives of the data analysis understand

Introduction: Word Equation for the reaction: Balanced Symbol Equation for the reaction: Observations during the reaction: • A yellow precipitate of Sulphur starts to form and the reaction mixture goes cloudy. • A colourless‚ poisonous gas of sulphur dioxide is given off. • Sodium Chloride (salt) and Water also form. The salt dissolves in the solution‚ and the water mixes in. Rate of Reaction

industrially is sodium thiosulfate. Sodium thiosulfate solution is sold in a range of concentrations. Dilute solutions of sodium thiosulfate can be used for cleaning contact lenses and used as a medicine for some cancer patients. Concentrated solutions are used to treat spillages of some chemicals. Sodium thiosulfate is safe to handle and store‚ but if it is mixed with an acid‚ a reaction happens. When dilute sodium thiosulfate is mixed with an acid‚ solid sulphur is made‚ which makes the solution appear
