For example: Cation Anion Formula Name of Compound Ba2+ I- Ba2+ I- Barium Ion Iodide Ion BaI2 Barium Iodide Type 2: Binary Ionic Type 2 Binary Ionic compounds consist of a metal and a nonmetal. They usually contain a transition metal. Transition metals usually form more than one cation (positive ion). This means the compound has more than one common ionic charge. In this case, for the stock name, you would place a Roman numeral giving the charge, in the name.
A wide choice of acid-base indicators is available, varying not only in the colours of the two forms but also in their sensitivity toward acid or base (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2013). In relation to this practical the Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is the strong base which dissolves in water to form an alkaline solution. The concentration of this solution can be determined by titrating it with a standard solution of a strong acid such as Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The indicator to be used is Methyl Orange. Apparatus: * * Pipette (10cm3) and Filler * Burette (50cm3) * Conical Flask * Funnel * Glass beaker * Stand and Clamp (for burette) * White paper * Chemicals (NaOH, HCl, Methyl Orange for indicator)

Experiment: Acids and Bases of Household Products Problem: Are these household products acids, bases or neutrals? Information Gathered: Acids have a high number of hydrogen ions but a low number of hydroxide ions. The pH of an acid range from 0 to 6.9 on the pH scale. Neutrals have an equal number of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. The pH of a neutral is 7.
Acute Renal Failure NU270 Assignment 6.1 7/26/2012 Patients that are in acute renal failure have many obstacles that they are faced with. The nurse should follow evidence based interventions when caring for them. Electrolyte imbalance, blood loss, infection, and nutrition are just a few of the issues the nurse must be educated about. It is important for the nurse to impose every intervention available to reduce the risk of infection in the patient experiencing acute renal failure. “Make sure appropriate hand hygiene is used.
According to Meleis (2007) knowing includes knowledge based on observation, research findings (evidenced based), clinical manifestations and scientific approach. As a stroke nurse empirical knowing it’s very important in taking care of stroke patients. I determine patient’s neurological status by performing neuro checks frequently every 1-2 hrs as the patient’s condition might deteriorate the first 24hrs and perform swallow test to determine if the patient can swallow medications. Patient’s plan of care is based on assessment findings(vital signs, Glasgow coma score).If a patient is confused and very weak fall precaution is observed by activating the bed alarms, request for a PT/OT consult, if the patient does not pass the swallow test, a speech therapist is consulted. Sometimes patient’s neurological deficits get resolved after a few hours or days and that calls for change of treatment plan.
Salts can be either soluble or not soluble depending on the ion interacts with the solvent. Salts of sodium, potassium, ammonium, nitrates, barium sulfate and calcium sulfate. The rules of solubility 1. Salts containing Group I elements (Li+, Na+, K+, Cs+, Rb+) are soluble . There are few
The activity-exercise pattern which is domain 4 will be covered in more depth, because Mrs Louisa has been diagnosed with spinal stenosis which affects this pattern significantly. In addition to domain 4, Mrs Louisa’s functional health in other domains is also impacted by this debilitating condition. Health perception-health management pattern A health perception-health management pattern is defined as ‘describing the client’s perceived pattern of health and well-being and how his or her health is managed’ (Gordon 1994, p.80). In this domain the questions asked of Mrs Louisa pertained to her general health, recent illnesses and the ways in which she maintains a healthy lifestyle. Subjective data gathered from Mrs Louisa’s responses
The results showed that the concentration of Na2CO3 in the unknown acid is between 0.03152M and 0.03924M, and the concentration of NaHCO3 is between 0.02148M and 0.02924M. By comparing the results between pH titration and color indicators, it is evident that the determination by pH titration is more efficient to use because it provides the exact point of equivalence between the dissociated ions and the dissociating molecules. In conclusion, this lab provided a more in depth understanding of how equilibriums and concentration are intertwined with pH and volumes. Introduction: Although the primary goal of the experiment is to find out how much acid is neutralized by a solution with both Na2CO3 and NaHCO3, the significant question to be answered is how can that information be used when dealing with an unknown acid? The purpose was then to use any information that was obtained in the previous experiment in order to answer this question.
The question is what role do nurses play when it comes to medication safety? Nurses play many different roles in the world of medicine; however the most important role is to assure that patients are receiving their medication safely. One of the recommendations to reduce medication errors and harm is to use the “Five rights: the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time” (Choo, Hutchinson & Bucknall, 2010, p.854). Verifying the patient’s identity ensures that the correct patient is receiving the medication, confirming that the medication written on the order is the same medication being prepared, ensures the right drug, dose and route is given. Some medications must be given at specific time, so it imperative to provide the medication to the patient at the correct time.
