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

Chemistry
1 answer:
suter [353]3 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.

I will give brainliest!!! What is the density of a sample of chlorine gas that exerts a pressure of 4.5 atm in a 12.6 L containe
labwork [276]

Answer : The density of a sample of chlorine gas is, 12.59 g/L

Explanation :

To calculate the density of chlorine gas we are using ideal gas equation.

PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{w}{M}RT\\\\P=\frac{w}{V}\frac{RT}{M}\\\\P=\frac{\rho RT}{M}

where,

P = pressure of chlorine gas = 4.5 atm

V = volume of chlorine gas = 12.6 L

n = number of moles of chlorine gas

w = mass of chlorine gas

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = temperature of chlorine gas = 36^oC=273+36=309K

M = molar mass of chlorine gas = 71 g/mol

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

P=\frac{\rho RT}{M}

4.5atm=\frac{\rho \times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times (309K)}{71g/mol}

\rho=12.59g/L

Therefore, the density of a sample of chlorine gas is, 12.59 g/L

6. a) Why is isocyanic acid prepared ""in situ"" in the Dulcin experiment? [2 pts] b) Draw a plausible Lewis structure for isocy
ycow [4]

Answer:

As it gets hydrolyzed easily.

Explanation:

The isocyanic acid  may get polymerizes  easily into  cyanuric acid and  a polymer cyamelide

Also, even at 0 °C temperature it may react with mositure and gets hydrolyzed into ammonia an carbon dioxide. Thus we generally prepare it in situ. Even after synthesis it is stroed at dry ice or liquid nitrogen at very low temperature.

The lewis structure is shown in the figure.

Suppose 0.035 moles of HCl is dissolved in enough water to produce 750 mL of solution. What is the pH
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

pH = 1.33

Explanation:

Because HCl is a strong acid, each mole of HCl will completely dissociate into H⁺ and Cl⁻ species.

Now we calculate the molar concentration (molarity) of H⁺:

  • Molarity = moles / volume

(750 mL ⇒ 750 / 1000 = 0.750 L)

  • Molarity = 0.035 moles / 0.750 L
  • Molarity = 0.0467 M

Then we calculate the pH of the solution:

  • pH = -log [H⁺]
  • pH = -log (0.0467 M)
  • pH = 1.33

250 ml glass of lemon juice contains 20 grams of sugar. How much sugar is in 500 ml bottle
iren2701 [21]

There is 40 g of sugar in a 500 ml bottle of lemon juice

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight/volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

the concentration of sugar in lemon juice :

\tt \dfrac{20~g}{250~ml}=0.08~g/ml

So for 500 ml juice :

\tt 500\times 0.08=40~g~sugar

A 33.69 g sample of a substance is initially at 29.4 °c. after absorbing 1623 j of heat, the temperature of the substance is 110
Sliva [168]
Q= mcΔT
1623 = 33.69g x c x (110.8 - 29.4)
1623 = 2742.366 g•°C x c
c = 0.59j/g•°C
