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.

3. Explain the relationship between power, energy and time.
likoan [24]
There is a very simple relationship between the three. First off, power is the amount of energy used over a certain amount of time. Energy is the capacity of carrying out that power. Lastly, time depends on how much energy you have to exert the work.

Hope this helps :)

Consider the reaction of Mg3N2 with H2O to form Mg(OH)2 and NH3. If 4.33 g H2O is reacted with excess Mg3N2 and 6.26 g of Mg(OH)
Len [333]

Answer:

89.34%

Explanation:

First, write a balanced reaction.

Mg3N2 + <u>6</u>H2O --> <u>3</u>Mg (OH)2 + <u>2</u>NH3

Next determine the moles of the known substance, or limiting reagent ( H2O)

n= m/MM

n ( H2O) = 4.33/(1.008×2)+16

n(H2O)= 0.2403

Use the mole ratio to find the moles of Mg(OH)2

0.2403 ÷2

n (Mg (OH)2) = 0.1202

Next, find the theoretical mass of Mg (OH)2 that should have been produced

m= n × MM

m= 0.1202 × (24.305 + (16×2) +(1.008 ×2))

=7.007g

To find percentage yield, divide the experimental amount by the theoretical amount and multiply by 100.

6.26/ 7.007 × 100

=89.34%

If society took the threat of global warming seriously, what kinds of changes would you expect to see in how that society works?
spayn [35]

Answer:

Global warming occurs a result of human activities which affects the environment negatively . It usually occurs over a long period of time. The global warming causes climate changes as a result of the ozone layer depletion.

If society took the threat of global warming seriously there will be changes in how humans handle the environment and the resources. Carbon emissions would be greatly reduced. Forest resources such as trees would also be treated specially and there would have been a reduction in mass deforestation as a result of urbanization

How much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of 59.7g of cadmium from 25°C to 100°C? The specific heat of cadmium is
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Heat energy can be calculated by using the specific heat of a substance multiplying it to the mass of the sample and the change in temperature. It is expressed as: 

<span>Energy = mCΔT
</span><span>Energy = 59.7 (0.231) (100-25)
</span><span>Energy = 1034.30 J</span>
