Introduction: Athetles consume Gatorade to replenish the electrolytes lost through sweat. Since Gatorade has a high concentration of solutes such as electrolytes it allows for the nervous system to respond faster to changes in the body. “Electroyltes are molecules that can dissociate into ions and conduct electrical currents” (EduChange 2002). These molecules‚ can move freely‚ once dissociated into ions allowing for there to be a electrical current. Because elcetroyltes can not conduct electrical

Thermal Conductivity of Metals and Non-metals 1. Introduction Thermal conductivity is a physical property of materials of great importance. Unlike some physical properties‚ however‚ thermal conductivity cannot be directly measured. In order to determine a material’s thermal conductivity‚ intermediate quantities must be determined from which the conductivity may be ultimately calculated. The objective of this lab was to determine the thermal conductivity of metals. To do so‚ it was necessary to study

highest amount of conductivity tested by all groups. On the graph above‚ the data shows that NaCl (sodium chloride) held the highest amount of electrical conductivity for all groups and on the table it reads the highest numbers across its row. Also as seen in the data above‚ ethanol had the lowest amount of conductivity with sucrose‚ acetic acid‚ ammonia‚ and MgCl2 following in ascending order. It can also be determined from Table 1 that there were 2 solutions with strong electrolytes‚ 2 with weak

Week #2 Post Lab 1.) Define the following: electrolyte‚ nonelectrolyte Electrolyte: A substance that dissolves in water to form solutions that conduct electricity. Nonelectrolyte: A compound that doesn’t dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. 2.) Using examples in the last link‚ draw beakers showing atomic scale representations of aqueous solutions of the following compounds. Classify each as an electrolyte or nonelectrolyte. * Ba(OH)2 (aq) * NH3 (aq) * C3H7OH (aq)

Patient Case Study: Fluid & Electrolyte Imbalance This patient case study report will outline the contributing factors related to a fluid and electrolyte imbalance‚ whilst assessing the medical and nursing management for the patient. Furthermore‚ an evaluation of the implemented nursing and medical treatment will also be discussed in this report. Introduction: Patient History: Mr. Richards presented to accident and emergency on the 7th October 2004‚ primarily due to the progressive

Electrolytic Solutions Solutions are sometimes grouped according to their ability to conduct electricity. Substances whose solutions conduct electricity are called electrolytes and those that do not conduct electricity are called nonelectrolytes. Also electrolytes can be strong or weak. Under strong electrolytes we have NaCl and CaCl2 which are ionic compounds‚ HCI‚ HNO3‚ HBr and H2SO4 are under acids and NaOH‚ KOH‚ and LiOH are under bases. Weak electrolytes are ionic compounds and slightly

Title of Experiment 12: The Effect of Ionic Strength on the solubility of an Electrolyte Aim: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the thermodynamics variable of enthalpy‚ ∆H for the dissolution reaction of boric acid in water. The solubility of boric acid was measured over a range of various temperatures by finding out at what temperature crystallization began for solution of different molarities. A graphical relationship between the natural logarithm of molal concentration and the inverse

of the wire increases every 10°C until the highest temperature is reached and the measurements are recorded. Conclusion The hypothesis that when the temperature of a wire increases‚ the resistance value of the wire will also increase and the conductivity of the wire will reduce is proven to be true. The temperature of the wire increases due to its power loss‚ which is calculated as I2x R.‚ where “I” is the current in the wire and R is the resistance. The higher the current in the wire or the higher
