Analyzing electrolytes I. Introduction Ionic substances form when a metal reacts with a non-metal. They contain charged particles called ions. Those ionic substances are broken down by electrolysis. Electrolysis is the breakdown of a substance by electricity‚ and it only happens in liquids. The liquids that can be electrolyzed are called electrolytes. When said electrolyzed‚ means that the compounds in solutions are broken down when they conduct electricity. Its necessary the use of electrodes

Fluid and Electrolytes Imbalances Fluid Compartments: * Extracellular Fluid (ECF) – This is fluid found outside of the cells and the amount of ECF decreases with age. In the newborn for example‚ approximately ½ of the body fluid is contained in the ECF. By the time the infant has reached one year old; the ECF has decreased to approximately 1/3 of the total volume. In an average 70 kg adult the ECF is approximately 15 liters of total volume. ECF can further be divided into the following:

Brayden Shaver Electrolytes in Sports Drinks September 30‚ 2016 Electrolytes in Sports Drinks Drinks are full of many substances that make up the taste‚ color‚ and uses of the beverages. One very important part of a sports drink are electrolytes. An electrolyte is a liquid gel that contains ions and can be decomposed by electrolysis‚ it is present in a battery. This substance is in many of the everyday drinks we use. From the orange juice we drink in the morning to the many sports drinks

Electrolyte Challenge Sport Drinks vs. Orange Juice By: Clem L. Vinegar Jr. Mr. Wells February 2‚ 2013 I. Project Question- The question I am trying to answer is which drink between water‚ Gatorade‚ propel‚ PowerAde‚ and a homemade drink. II. Hypothesis- My hypothesis is that orange juice will have more electrolytes than the other drinks because of the natural electrolytes it contains from oranges. I also think that Gatorade will be the most preferred

Introduction This experiment tests electrical conduction. Electrical conduction is the transportation of an electrical charge through a substance. This is done by the electrical charge/current being sent through the substance via electrons. These electrons carry the electrical current/charge throughout the substance’s length until another conductor is able to receive the electrons charge. Part B: Risk Assessment: During the construction of “the modified hurler‚ “

Lab Report Electrical Conductivity Introduction There are some substances that are capable of conducting electricity‚ and the reason they conduct electricity is because of the type of compound the substance is. Electrolytes or any ionic compound conduct electricity and nonelectrolytes do not conduct electricity. An Ionic compound is formed from the electrical attraction between anions and cations‚ typically a metal with a non-metal‚ except hydrogen. When an ionic compound forms‚ the anion
