The Action of Naturally Occurring Toxins and Medicines It is important to classify toxins and medicines (drugs) in order to understanding the mechanism and function of each one of them. By doing so‚ it is also possible to increase their values by altering their mechanism (e.g. converting toxins to drugs) to cure diseases and improve human health. Therefore in this review‚ the mode of action of several toxins and drugs as well as their effects on human body will be discussed. 1. Cobratoxin Cobratoxin

Name: Date of experiment: 04/02/12 Date of report: 04/03/12 Title: Oxidation – Reduction Activity Series Purpose: To determine relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of a series of metals and ions. Oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously side by side. A reduction reaction occurs only if an oxidation reaction occurs and vise-versa. Electrons are given in oxidation while in reduction electrons are gained. Oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has a large tendency to

dehydration. Euvolamia is the term used to describe a state of normal body fluid (Welch 2010). Approximately 60 percent of a male’s body weight and 52 percent of a female’s body weight is fluid‚ which consists mostly of water and electrolytes. A reduction of only 5 percent in this fluid would result in a patient developing thirst and would be considered mild dehydration. 8-10 percent would cause hypertension‚ tachycardia‚ weak pulse‚ confusion and a decrease in urine output. 10-15 percent would be

DETERMINATION OF VITAMIN C CONTENT IN COMMERCIAL (CENOVIS) TABLET ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ the vitamin C content of a commercial tablet is determined and compared with the manufacturers’ specification. Vitamin C is water-soluble and is an enantiomer of ascorbic acid. (Commercial vitamin C is often a mixture of ascorbic acid and other ascorbates.) Ascorbic acid‚ C6H8O6‚ is a reducing agent that reacts rapidly with iodine (I2). As the iodine is added during the titration‚ the ascorbic acid is

Purpose Determine which kinds of reactions involve electron transfer as the driving force. Background Redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed. So‚ when a metal and a nonmetal react‚ there is an ionic bond formed‚ which means one of them loses electrons while the other gains them. Since this reaction involves the exchange of electrons it is termed as a redox reaction. The oxidation states in a metal- nonmetal are simple

n this lab‚ everyone got a flask which we then drew a pumpkin face on. Then we mixed 42 mL sodium hydroxide solution‚ 10 g of glucose‚ 1 mL‚ 1 L of water and Methylene blue solution and leave it undisturbed. The blue solution turned clear and when we added the yellow food coloring it turned an orange color. The solution then turned dark blue once the solution was shaken vigorously. This reaction occurred because the oxygen oxidized the methylene blue.In the oxidized state the methylene blue shows
