Assignment | Dehydration | Miesha K. Branch | Human beings require water to survive. Individuals have to understand the importance of staying hydrated and the warning signs of dehydration in order to live long healthy lives. Water and fluids are the main element in staying hydrated and healthy Dehydration is the loss of salts and water that can cause many complications or health issues in human beings. Dehydration can occur when an individual doesn’t consume enough fluids such as water‚

Dehydration james November 18‚ 2010 Dehydration Water is an essential part to maintaining a healthy body and weight. Without the proper intake of water‚ the body becomes dehydrated and it begins to pull it from other places including from your blood. “This causes the closing of some smaller vessels (capillaries)‚ making your blood thicker‚ more susceptible to clotting‚ and harder to pump through your system. This can have serious implications in hypertension‚ high cholesterol‚ and heart

Dehydration of Cyclohexanol Introduction In this experiment cyclohexene‚ an alkene‚ was prepared by the dehydration of cyclohexanol‚ an alcohol‚ using phosphoric acid‚ an acid catalyst. The reaction is as follows: [pic] The dehydration of cyclohexanol was performed in a simple distillation apparatus. As cyclohexene formed‚ it was distilled out of the mixture. Background Dehydration is an elimination reaction of an alcohol that takes place in the presence of an acid catalyst

A 5 year old girl Jenny has presented to the Emergency Department with her mother‚ she is suffering from a variety of symptoms including wheezing and vomiting‚ a dry mouth‚ and a temperature of 39.7 degrees Celsius. Vomiting is when the person is excreting all food from there stomach via the mouth using forces from the oesophagus and stomach (Hockenberry & Wilson‚ 2007). The rationale for choosing this symptom is that vomiting is a clear sign that the body is trying to get rid of a pathogen‚ with

practical of dehydration of tomatoes was carried out in a cabinet dryer that was operated at the temperature of 80°C. In the cabinet dryer the food material was spread out on the trays and heating was facilitated by an air current sweeping across the trays (Earle‚ 1983). Figure 4 illustrates the air flow inside the cabinet dryer‚ supported from a fan for efficient functionality. Figure 4. Cabinet dryer ( Source: Earle‚ 1983) Among many factors that influence the drying rate‚ the study was carried

There were no differences at admission between the groups in age‚ sex‚ previous types of feeding‚ previous duration of diarrhea‚ use of antibiotics‚ weight‚ height‚ weight-height percentile‚ prevalence of fever‚ overall status‚ degree of dehydration‚ and percentage of in-versus outpatients. Duration of diarrhea after enrollment was 71.9 ± 35.8 hours in group A versus 58.3 ± 27.6 hours in group B (mean ± SD;P = 0.03). In rotavirus-positive children‚ diarrhea lasted 76.6 ± 41.6 hours in group

Today‚ the newer Natural Draft dehydrators use a 1‚000-watt element for heating as its heat source‚ or with the electric dehydrator using nine 75-watt bulbs totaling 675-watts‚ plus an electric fan. TYPES OF FOODS TO BE DEHYDRATED Solar dehydration or oven dehydration are good methods for meats‚ vegetables and fruits. If an oven is used‚ make sure there are numerous drying trays to fit on the oven’s racks‚ an accurate oven thermometer‚ and a small fan that is electric. The oven temperature should be

Experiment #7 Fall 2014 Dehydration of an alcohol NAME Nick Weinberger POSTLAB 1. Show the mechanism for the dehydration of -tetralol under conditions employed in the lab. Show all intermediates‚ and show electron flow with arrows. 2. What general mechanism most likely applies to this reaction (SN2‚ E2 etc)? E1 3. Why was acid employed in this reaction? The acid was used to protonate the leaving group (OH) to form water which is a much better leaving

Dehydration of Methylcyclohexanols Balie Zander Date Conducted: March 27‚ 2013 Date Submitted: April 3‚ 2013 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate the application of Zaitzev’s rule‚ the Evelyn Effect and the occurrence of an E1 mechanism in an alcohol dehydration reaction. Specifically this experiment involved the dehydration of 2-methylcylcohexanol by heating this alcohol in the presence of phosphoric acid and then to based on the results of the gas chromatography

Dehydration of 2-Methylcyclohexanol February 10‚ 2013 Introduction This experiment was done to demonstrate the practical use of dehydration reactions and produce three different products. Dehydration reactions are reactions that involve the leaving of an “-OH” or “-H” group resulting in the formation of a double bond between two carbons. For the experiment we used 2-Methylcyclohexanol as a beginning reagent to dehydrate and possibly form 3-methylcyclohexene‚ 1-methylcyclohexene‚ or methylenecyclohexane
