SALTS EVERYDAY First some words about salts in chemistry. Salts are ionic compounds that can result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. They are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge). Salts can appear to be clear and transparent (sodium chloride)‚ opaque‚ and even metallic and lustrous (iron disulfide). In many cases the apparent opacity or transparency are

Salt Water Intrusion and Salination By: Ryan Tallman University of Phoenix 2009 In this modern world we are faced with many different issues. Sometimes we forget that the majority of our earth is covered in oceans and freshwater. Almost two thirds of the world’s population lives within 250 miles of an ocean coastline. One of the many issues we are facing in our waters is saltwater intrusion and salinization. Saltwater intrusion and salinization is defined as the increase of chloride ion concentrations

Mahatma Gandhi proposed a non-violent march protesting the British Salt Tax‚ continuing Gandhi’s pleas for civil disobedience. The Salt Tax essentially made it illegal to sell or produce salt‚ allowing a complete British monopoly. Since salt is necessary in everyone’s daily diet‚ everyone in India was affected. The Salt Tax made it illegal for workers to freely collect their own salt from the coasts of India‚ making them buy salt they couldn’t really afford. Return to "India under British

lived a salt merchant. He had a monkey for his assistance. Every morning‚ he would load a sack of salt on the donkey and go to the nearby town to sell it. On the way‚ they had to walk across a pond. One day‚ while crossing the pond‚ the donkey thought‚”Ooh! This load is so heavy that I become exhausted very soon. I wish I could get some of this load taken off my back.” Just then the donkey tripped and fell into the water. Fortunately‚ the donkey was not hurt. But the sack of salt on the donkey’s

Katie Paez Marine Science Salt Marsh Essay Salt marshes play vital roles in coastal areas‚ such as Westhampton‚ Southampton‚ Hampton Bays‚ and many other locations. Let’s look at the global effects of salt marshes. A study from September of this year published in UVAToday shows that the carbon stored in salt marshes may help in slowing global climate change. Carbon dioxide is the predominant so-called “greenhouse gas” that acts as sort of an atmospheric blanket‚ trapping the Earth’s heat. Over

Salt is made up of 40 percent sodium and 60 percent of chloride‚ is a very important part of daily lives as it helps maintain your blood’s water content‚ balances acids and bases in your blood‚ and it helps in the movement of electrical charges which are in your nerves throughout your muscles. A human being should consume about 2400 mg of salt daily. On average‚ humans tend to go over the recommended amount. The food industry adds 75 percent of the sodium that we humans consume.

NAME-FOSU-MENSAH EMMANUEL ID NUMBER-10372921 VITAMINS Vitamins are organic compounds which are needed in small quantities to sustain life. We get vitamins from food‚ because the human body either does not produce enough of them or none at all. An organic compound contains carbon. When an organism cannot produce enough of an organic chemical compound that it needs in tiny amounts‚ and has to get it from food‚ it is called a vitamin. Sometimes the compound is a vitamin for a human but not for

Experiment #7: Acids‚ Bases and Salts Mabag‚ Viannery D.‚ Mangune‚ Paolo D. Chem 14.1‚ MAB1‚ Ms. Angelyn del Rosario March 8‚ 2010 I. Abstract The experiment allowed students to explore different electrolytes and classify them into acids‚ bases and salts by using different indicators or by measuring the pH levels of each. The experiment also helped students classify different substances through their conductivity properties. The preparation of a 1 M stock solution from NaOH pellets diluted to a

Robert Lawrence and Edmund Stephens‚ two graduate students of geology from Columbia University‚ organized the Saline Salt Company in 1974. Keeping in mind the fact that every 1‚000 grams of seawater contains approximately 35 grams of various salts‚ the two men pictured limitless wealth for themselves by extracting these salts. Common table salt comprises 27 grams out of each 35 grams and is easy to extract; so‚ the men decided to begin producing it. They picked New Iberia‚ Louisiana as the ideal
