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

Chemistry
1 answer:
suter [353]4 years ago
3 0

<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.

In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions)
Elena L [17]

Answer:

RbI<RbBr<RbCl<RbF

Explanation:

As stated in the question, the latice energy depends on the relative size of the ions. When the action size is constant as in the question, the lattice energy now depends on the relative of the anions. The order of increase in ionic sizes among the halide ions is fluoride<Chloride<Bromide<Iodide. This order of increasing size means that the lattice energy will decrease accordingly as shown in the answer.

A mixture of sodium bicarbonate and ammonium bicarbonate is 75.9% bicarbonate by mass. what is the mass percent of sodium bicarb
Lorico [155]
Answer: 24.1%,  under below assumptions.

Justification:

The question is quite ambiguous, because one of the data is not clearly stated. It says that the mixture consists on two compounds:

- sodium bicarbonate, and
- ammonium bicarbonate

.After, it says that it is 75.9 % bicarbonate, but it does not specify which bicarbonate, it might be the sodium bicarbonate or the ammonium bicarbonate. It is apparent that you omitted that information by error.

Given that later, the question is <span>what the mass percent of sodium bicarbonate is in the mixture, it is supposed that the 75.9% content is of ammonium bicarbonate.

With that said, you can calculate the mass percent of sodium bicarbonate, because there are only two compounds and so you know that both add up the 100% of the mixture.

In formulas:

100% = %m/m sodium bicarbonate + %m/m ammonium bicarbonate = 100%

=> % m/m sodium bicarbonate = 100% - % m/s ammonium bicarbonate

=> % sodium bicarbonate = 100% - 75.9% = 24.1%

Answer: 24.1%
