The property or power of conducting heat, electricity, or sound” and is used as such in chemistry (Dictionary, 2014). In the medical field however, specialists are now trying to use carbon nanotubes (CNT’s) to aid in the absorption of medicines used to treat terminal illnesses, it is also used in gels, EKG, EEG and other testing supplies (Shao, 2013). The lab test today is going to help determine whether a substance is Conductive and the type of bond in portrays—ionic, polar covalent, or non-polar covalent, with a series of tests and results using an array of samples. If water is used as a solvent then sodium chloride, calcium sulfate, potassium aluminum sulfate, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, copper (II) nitrate, and sucrose will be dissolved because they are soluble solids with ionic and polar bonds placed into a polar covalent liquid. Glycerin and ethanol will be miscible in water as well due to their polar bonds.
B) They are usually only sparingly soluble in water. C) They often form super-saturated aqueous solutions. D) They readily dissolve and ionize in
Although epoetin alfa has helped with end stage renal disease (ESRD) anemia significantly, there continue to be patients with ESRD who have anemia despite the use of epoetin alfa. This paper will address the administration of ascorbic acid and its effectiveness in increasing hemoglobin results in patients who are not responding to epoetin alfa use alone and will also discuss the adverse effects found in the addition of ascorbic acid. This paper will also summarize the research study used to obtain the information and discuss its significance in nursing. Background of Study The questions the researcher asked when researching this topic were. 1.
Monitor blood glucose levels (HPC) to identify hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia. 5. Record amount, color, and consistency of patient’s vomitus and stools as vomitus and stool characteristics indicate status of nutrient absorption. 6. Provide or assist with oral hygiene to help keep patient comfortable.
For example, the reaction |BaCl2•2H2O ( BaCl2 + 2H2O |(2) | is reversible, and if water is added to the anhydrous salt BaCl2, formation of BaCl2•2H2O takes place: |BaCl2 + 2H2O ( BaCl2•2H2O |(3) | The reaction of dehydration of hydrated ferrous sulfate |FeSO4•7H2O ( FeSO4 + 7H2O |(4)
We resulted that lead, silver, and copper are the strongest oxidizing agents, and that magnesium and zinc are the weak oxidizing agents. The strong oxidizing agent oxidized the weak oxidizing agent and in turn the strong oxidizing agent got reduced while oxidizing the weak agent. When a reaction occurred, the solid metal reduced the ion, and in turn made it the more reactive metal. In part two we used a solvent extraction technique to derive an activity series for the halogens. With the use of this technique we placed chlorine, bromine, and iodine into solutions containing chloride, bromide, and iodide.
I believe we did our procedures accurately. The precipitate was Zinc hydroxide which is amphoteric in nature. Meaning it can react both with acid and base to form salt. We got a white precipitate of zinc hydroxide and it reacted to make salt with both the base sodium hydroxide and the acetic acid. Our result would have been clearer to observe if we centrifuged it long enough because we might have lost some of the precipitate while washing it since it was not centrifuged long enough.
Carbohydrates are formed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen as the basics. In the body, carbohydrates are converted to glucose, used for energy throughout the body. Carbohydrates can be either simple or complex, and high-glycemic or low-glycemic. Examples of foods containing simple carbohydrates include fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Breads and cereals contain complex carbohydrates, along with legumes.
What type of assay was used to measure plasma insulin and glucagon levels?

This is because the presence of these enzymes in the serum indicates that tissue or cellular damage has occurred resulting in the release of intracellular components into the blood. Hence, when a physician indicates that he/she is going to assay for liver enzymes, the purpose is to ascertain the
