Copper Cycle Summary During the copper cycle lab, my partners and I performed a series of reactions on copper powder and observed the changes it underwent. For the first step, we mixed nitric acid and copper powder, and noticed that a yellowish brown gas emerged, along with effervescence. The red solid disappeared and became a blue liquid.…

Copper is find in ores, an ore is a type of rock that contains minerals with important elements including metals, there is a lot of different copper ores such as Chalcopyrite, Covellite, Malachite, Azurite:…
Based on those pertinent nutritional problems, Joe has inadequate protein intake (NI-52.1) related to protein losses as evidence by a total protein level of 4.7 and an albumin level of 2.1. Joe also has inadequate fluid intake (NI-3.1) related to fluid losses as evidence by dry mucous membranes in the throat, poor skin turgor, and a weeping skin condition.…
Selenium has brought in lots of attention because of its antioxidants. These antioxidants protect cells from damage. Among all the healthy people in the U.S., selenium deficiencies are very uncommon. Although some health conditions such as HIV,, crohns disease, and others are associated with low selenium levels. Selenium had also been studied for dozens of conditions. The ranges go from asthma to arthritis to dandruff to infertility. However, the results were all inconclusive.…

Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder were extra copper builds up in the liver,brain and eyes. Wilson’s disease is an autosomal recessive trait. (Autosomal recessive trait: means two copies of an abnormal gene must be present in order for the disease or trait to develop) Wilson disease is located on chromosome 13. The gene is called ATP7B and it contains the genetic information necessary to make a copper transport copper out of the liver. Mutations in the gene lead to an abnormal copper transport…
In the experiment, synthesis of copper compounds, the purpose was to recover the original amount of copper after series of chemical reactions. Then returning the copper back to its original form. The copper wire originally weighted 1.0099 g, but after the copper was transformed into Cu(OH)2 to CuO to CuSO4 and finally into Cu, the mass of the recovered copper was 1.1023g; the percent yield was 109%. Since the percent yield is more than 100%, an error must have occurred somewhere in the lab. A possible error could have occurred due to removing the evaporating dish from the Bunsen burner quickly not allowing all the water to be evaporated. Therefore, there was water present in the final mass and it could have caused the percent yield to be greater…
The second largest organ in the human body is the liver, weighing roughly three pounds.1 The liver is located on the upper right side of the abdomen beneath the rib cage.1, 2 It performs numerous functions in the body including energy metabolism, processing of foods into nutrients used for body processes, and removal of toxic substances from the blood system.1, 2 A variety of factors can affect the liver; for example, genetic disorders, hepatitis viruses, alcohol abuse, obesity, and diabetes.2 Damage to the liver may result in scarring or cirrhosis over time, which could lead to liver failure and an increase risk of mortality.2 Signs and symptoms of liver disease may include jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes), abdominal pain and swelling,…
