What role doe ionic compounds play in our bodies?

1 answer:

7 0

Most ionic compounds fall in the category of chemicals called salts. ... Electrolytes, or in other words compounds that are ionizable in solution, play an essential role in many body functions. Cells create electrical energy as ions move from the solutions inside the cells of our body<span> to the solutions outside the cells.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

<h3>Reducing agent</h3>

A reducing agent is a chemical species that "donates" one electron to another chemical species in chemistry (called the oxidizing agent, oxidant, oxidizer, or electron acceptor). Earth metals, formic acid, oxalic acid, and sulfite compounds are a few examples of common reducing agents.

Reducers have excess electrons (i.e., they are already reduced) in their pre-reaction states, whereas oxidizers do not. Usually, a reducing agent is in one of the lowest oxidation states it can be in. The oxidation state of the oxidizer drops while the oxidizer's oxidation state, which measures the amount of electron loss, increases. The agent in a redox process whose oxidation state rises, which "loses/donates electrons," which "oxidizes," and which "reduces" is known as the reducer or reducing agent.

Salt in crude oil must be removed before the oil undergoes processing in a refinery. The

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{0.64 \, \%}$

Explanation:

Assume you are using 1 L of water.

Then you are washing 4 L of salty oil.

1. Calculate the mass of the salty oil

Assume the oil has a density of 0.86 g/mL.

$\text{Mass of oil} = \text{4000 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.86 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \text{3440 g}$

2. Calculate the mass of salt in the salty oil

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{3440 g} \times \dfrac{\text{5 g salt}}{\text{100 g oil}} = \text{172 g salt}$

3. Calculate the mass of salt in the spent water

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{1000 g water} \times \dfrac{\text{15 g salt}}{\text{100 g water}} = \text{150 g salt}$

4. Mass of salt remaining in washed oil

Mass = 172 g - 150 g = 22 g

5. Concentration of salt in washed oil

$\text{Concentration} = \dfrac{\text{22 g}}{\text{3440 g}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{0.64 \, \%}\\\\\text{The concentration of salt in the washed oil is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{0.64 \, \%}}$}$

Why can scientists ignore the forces of attraction between particles in a gas under ordinary conditions

Alika [10]

<span>Scientists ignore the forces of attraction between particles in a gas under ordinary conditions</span><span> because the particles in a gas are apart and moving fast, rather than clustered and moving slow, therefore the forces of attraction are too weak to have a visible effect.</span>
