INTRODUCTION Iodine deficiency disorders are still very much prevalent in the world today. Two billion people‚ estimated by the WHO‚ still lack a sufficient level of iodine in their diets which leads to a range of disorders known as iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). So what is iodine? Iodine is an essential micronutrient in the diet which is used by the thyroid gland (located in the throat) to produce thyroid hormones which help control the body’s metabolism. The two most important thyroid

UNKNOWN SAMPLE #97 COMPLEXOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF WATER HARDNESS DR. BUDRUK CHM 152 LL SEAN MARKIS 4 FEBRUARY 2015 Introduction Using a Lewis base neutral molecule to donate electron pairs (ligands) to a Lewis acid metal ion center to form a single cluster (complex) ion. When the complex ions forms with a metal ion (chelation) the ligand used is called the (chelating agent). EDTA acts as a great chelating agent due to the Nitrogen and Oxygen donating an electron pair to the

Iodine deficiency is a major threat to the health and development of the world‚ predominantly among toddlers and pregnant women in low-income countries. It is a significant public health problem in 130 countries and affects 740 million people. An estimated one-third of the world’s population is currently susceptible to the risk of iodine deficiency. Iodine is a vital nutrient for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland‚ which regulates growth and metabolism. Iodine deficiency is the primary cause

Experiment # 4a Title: Determination of the Hardness of Water from a Waterfall Aim: To determine the molarity of EDTA and to determine the hardness of water by measuring the concentrations of calcium and magnesium in a water sample by titration. Abstract: The aim of this experiment was to determine the molarity of a sample of EDTA and then to use this sample to determine the hardness of a sample of water. This was done using a titrimetric method. This was standardized using calcium chloride.

Title: Determination of Iron in Natural water by Spectrophotometry. Aim: To determine the iron in natural water by spectrophotometry. Abstract: The iron in natural water was determined by utilizing spectrophotometric analysis. That was done by measuring the absorbance of five Fe(oPH)2+3 standards at 510 nm. From that information‚ a calibration curve was plotted and used to find the amount of Fe2+ that was in two unknown water samples based on the absorbance readings obtained with them at 510nm. The

Percent Water in a Hydrate PURPOSE To determine the percent water in a hydrate sample. INTRODUCTION Many substances contain water molecules as a part of their crystal structure. We call such solids hydrates‚ and we call the bound water the water of hydration. A hydrate has a definite number of water molecules bound to each anhydrous salt unit. The formula of the hydrate copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is CuSO4 · 5 H2O The dot indicates that the molecules of water are attached to the ions in

Iodine Test for Starch Introduction and Hypothesis: In this experiment‚ we used iodine to test for starch in certain solutions. Iodine separates starch from polysaccharides‚ monosaccharides‚ and disaccharides. Starch is a curled polymer of glucose and iodine interacts with molecules‚ which changes the color of the molecules to a kind of black color. Iodine does not respond with carbohydrates that are not curled or coiled‚ thus the color stays yellowish brown. A black color result means that starch

ractice Problem #1: Oxygen gas can be produced by decomposing potassium chlorate using the reaction below. If 138.6 g of KClO3 is heated and decomposes completely‚ what mass of oxygen gas is produced? KClO3 (s) --> KCl (s) + O2 (g) [unbalanced] Answer to Practice Problem #1: 1. Balance your equation first. 2KClO3 (s) --> 2KCl (s) + 3O2 (g) [balanced] 2. Convert from grams to moles using molar mass.

Iodine is an element that is critical for normal function of the thyroid gland‚ which is a key regulator of the body’s basic metabolic rate. Iodine is a micronutrient‚ meaning we require only small amounts of it. For example‚ adults need about 150 micrograms of iodine in the form of iodide ion per day. However‚ an insufficient supply of iodide via diet and drinking water causes the non-cancerous enlargement of the thyroid gland known as goiter. Prolonged lack of iodide can lead to loss of thyroid
