Magnesium‚ an abundant mineral in the body‚ is naturally present in many foods‚ added to other food products‚ available as a dietary supplement‚ and present in some medicines (such as antacids and laxatives). Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body‚ including protein synthesis‚ muscle and nerve function‚ blood glucose control‚ and blood pressure regulation [1-3]. Magnesium is required for energy production‚ oxidative phosphorylation

Questions: • What will happen when you put zinc in copper II sulfate? • What will happen when you put copper in copper II sulfate? Predictions: • We can predict that zinc will react with the aqueous solution of copper II sulfate and we will notice a reaction. We can also predict that the copper will not react with the solution of copper II sulfate and no reaction will be noticed. Hypothesis: • It is hypothesized the zinc metal will have a precipitation reaction with the solution of copper II sulfate‚ because

Primary school children should not be given homework Should children have homework in a primary school? It’s not a question for me. Of course they should. My strong opinion is based on my life experience and my observations. I observed children in school for years and may say that there is apparent difference between children who are doing their homework and children who have nothing to do after school. First of all‚ children should have homework because it helps to strengthen their knowledge

The client complains of a pounding headache for the last 12 hours unrelieved by acetaminophen (Tylenol)‚ swollen hands and face for 2 days‚ and epigastric pain described as bad heartburn. Her sister tells the nurse‚ "I felt like that when I had toxemia during my pregnancy." Admission assessment by the nurse reveals: today’s weight 182 pounds‚ T 99.1° F‚ P 76‚ R 22‚ BP 138/88‚ 4+ pitting edema‚ and 3+ protein in the urine.

fetus. The mother’s BP is elevated‚ there is protein in her urine‚ and her organs are being damaged. Preeclampsia usually is diagnoses post 20 weeks gestation which is the age of a viable fetus. If a diagnosis is made earlier than 20 weeks the mother and her physician must decide whether the wait or deliver. Waiting until the fetus is viable is highly dangerous due to the fact that preeclampsia leads to eclampsia and serious and fatal complications. Cause. The cause is unknown but it is believed

EXPERIMENT 4 Title: Preparation of magnesium sulphate. Date:11.02.2010 Aim: To prepare magnesium sulphate Theory: Magnesium sulfate (or magnesium sulphate) is a chemical compound containing magnesium‚ sulfur and oxygen‚ with the formula MgSO4. In its hydrated form the pH is 6.0 (5.5 to 6.5). It is often encountered as the heptahydrate‚ MgSO4·7H2O‚ commonly called Epsom salt. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is used as a drying agent. Since the anhydrous form is hygroscopic (readily absorbs water

GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SULFATE Purpose You will be given a solid powder‚ which has been dried to constant mass. The sample is water soluble. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the concentration of sulfate in your solid sample using gravimetric analysis. Background Gravimetric Analysis The goal of most quantitative chemical analysis measurements is to estimate the relative abundance of an analyte in a chemical sample. For solid and liquid samples‚ a very common expression

Iron powder will react with cupric sulfate in a onetoone ratio (1 mole to 1 mole). The students will also be able to more easily visualize the size of a mole of iron and copper. The result obtained in this lab usually have less than a one percent error. Fe(s) + CuSO4 (aq) > FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) Iron powder cupric sulfate ferrous sulfate copper In the reaction‚ iron will be the limiting reagent; it will be completely used up in the reaction. Cupric sulfate will be in excess; not all of it will be used up in the reaction

Electrolytes are present in the human body‚ and the balance of the electrolytes in our bodies is essential for normal function of our cells and our organs. Electrolytes are important because they are what your cells‚ especially nerve‚ heart and muscle use to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and to carry electrical impulses such
