If your results show lower than normal sodium levels, it may indicate: Diarrhea. Vomiting. Kidney disease. Addison disease, a condition in which your body’s adrenal glands don’t produce enough of certain types of hormones. What happens when sodium levels are … Continue reading →

Hypotonic solutions. Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration, or tonicity, of solutes and have an osomolality equal to or less than 250 mOsm/L. The infusion of hypotonic solutions lowers the osmolality within the vascular space and causes fluid to shift … Continue reading →

Fluids produced by specialized cells to form cerebrospinal fluid, gastrointestinal fluid, bile, glandular secretions, respiratory secretions, and synovial fluid are in the transcellular fluid compartment, which is estimated as approximately 1% of body weight (approximately 2% of total body water). … Continue reading →

Magnesium is one of the major intracellular cations. For normal neuromuscular activity, humans need normal concentration of extracellular calcium and magnesium. Is magnesium ICF or ECF? Location: The distinction between ICF and ECF is clear and is easy to understand: … Continue reading →

The intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF) are separated by a semi- permeable cell membrane that is permeable to water but not to most solutes including electrolytes and proteins, which generally need transport systems to move across the membrane. … Continue reading →

The main difference between plasma and interstitial fluid is that plasma contains more proteins whereas interstitial fluid contains fewer proteins. Most of the other dissolved products such as nutrients and electrolytes occur in similar concentrations in both plasma and interstitial … Continue reading →

Because it is unrefined, Real Salt contains several essential mineral electrolytes that improve hydration, without the refined sugar and questionable food dyes found in the sports drinks on the supermarket shelves. What are the benefits of Real Salt? The benefits … Continue reading →

Activated carbon is carbon produced from carbonaceous source materials such as bamboo, coconut husk, willow peat, wood, coir, lignite, coal, and petroleum pitch. How do you make activated carbon? Activated carbon is made by being placed in a tank without … Continue reading →

Two of the most common battery chemistry types are lithium-ion and lead acid. As their names imply, lithium-ion batteries are made with the metal lithium, while lead-acid batteries are made with lead. With these differences in chemistry come differences in … Continue reading →

Phosphate ore is mined and beneficiated into rock phosphate. Beneficiation of phosphate ore is a process which includes washing, flotation and calcining. Froth flotation is used to concentrate the mined ore to rock phosphate. Is phosphate a ore? As a … Continue reading →

The general formula of sugar is C12H22O11. So,it has carbon. It must be a covalent bond because carbon can’t lose or gain electrons.So,the only type of bond formed by carbon is covalent. So,the sugar is a covalent compound. Is sugar … Continue reading →

Moreover, Cu can be used as a current collector at anode side because it does not involve in redox reaction at lower potentials w.r.t Li/Li+. But, Cu cannot be used as a current collector at cathode side because dissolution of … Continue reading →

Most electrolyte tablets contain sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium — though the exact quantities may vary depending on the brand. They also tend to be low calorie, have little to no added sugar, and come in a variety of unique, … Continue reading →

Why Alkaline Batteries Explode In most cases, the battery will simply leak, but if the vapor pressure is high enough, it can explode. Alkaline batteries from reliable manufacturers are vented to allow built up heat and energy to dissipate. Can … Continue reading →

Rubbing alcohol: Isopropyl alcohol is a safe and effective way to clean electronics without leaving behind moisture and other residue. What can be used to clean battery corrosion? Baking Soda With Hot Water or Battery Cleaner You can remove corrosion … Continue reading →
