amounts in the diet may cause deficiency diseases. There are fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the fat tissues of our bodies‚ as well as the liver. Fat-soluble vitamins are easier to store than water-soluble ones‚ and can stay in the body as reserves for days‚ some of them for months. Water-soluble vitamins do not get stored in the body for long - they soon get expelled through urine. Water-soluble vitamins need to be replaced more often than fat-soluble ones.

Objective 1. Use the analytical balance to weigh a given hydrated salt as accurate as possible in order to determine the weight of water in the salt Introduction Balances are important laboratory equipment as they are used to determine the mass of materials. Today‚ most balances used in the laboratory are analytical balances which can give readings up to four decimal places or higher. High accuracy is needed in certain experimental work such as material analysis or those involving small change

Road salt‚ also called rock salt‚ is sodium chloride‚ chemically combined with NaCl. Na is the chemical abbreviation for sodium and Cl is the abbreviation for chloride. Table salt that we use is exactly the same chemical. The US Environmental Protection Agency has set limits on allowable levels of chloride in water but not sodium. In high concentrations both sodium and chloride can be harmful to aquatic organisms. Sodium is the primary concern for humans‚ as it can be harmful to people with high

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
