Why are electrolytes important in your body? Do you need to drink Gatorade to get them?

Chemistry

<em>Electrolytes</em> are substances -minerals- that conduct electricity once they are dissolved in water. Some examples include Na⁺ (Sodium), Ca⁺² (Calcium), PO₄⁻³ (Phosphate) and Mg⁺² (Magnesium).

They are important because of the rols they play in our organism: The electrical charges they carry are what allow muscles to contract and nerve impulses to be transmitted. Without proper muscle contractions or nerve transmissions we would die.

We do not need to drink Gatorade to get electrolytes. It's true that sport drinks contain electrolytes, but those electrolytes can also come from different sources in our everyday diet, such as salt or fruits and vegetables.

c3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O When 44.0 grams of propane (C3H8) under goes complete combustion, how many grams of water will be produ
Umnica [9.8K]

<u>Answer:</u> 72 grams of water will be produced.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the formula:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}    ....(1)

Mass of propane = 44 grams

Molar mass of propane = 44 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{moles of propane}=\frac{44g}{44g/mol}=1mole

For the reaction of combustion reaction of propane, the equation follows:

C_3H_8+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction,

1 mole of propane produces 4 moles of water.

So, 1 mole of propane will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 4=4moles of water.

Now, to calculate the amount of water, we use equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

4mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}

Mass of water produced = 72 grams

Hence,  72 grams of water will be produced.
