Dixon‚ an American specialty chemical producer‚ wants to buy Collinsville plant from American Chemical Corporation‚ another typical chemical company in 1979. Dixon wants to diversify its product line buy acquiring the aforesaid plant‚ which produces sodium-chlorate to supply to paper producers in Southeastern part of the US. This plant initially cost 12 mln. USD and additional 2‚25 mln. USD needed to buy laminate technology to increase efficiency and profitability of the plant in order. Dixon has conducted

Sodium‚ Hypertension‚ and an Explanation of "Lag Phenomenon" in Hemodialysis Patients Author: Zbylut Twardowski‚ MD‚ PhD I. INTRODUCTION Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid‚ minerals‚ and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail‚ harmful wastes build up in your body‚ your blood pressure may rise‚ and your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells. When this happens‚ you need treatment

people with “mild hypertension”. The study showed that the participators with mild hypertension showed a “significant decrease in stiffness of large elastic arteries‚ improvement in left ventricular diastolic function and endothelial function‚ and reduction in left ventricular mass” after consuming potassium bicarbonate for 12 weeks straight (Sircus‚ 2016). Potassium bicarbonate outer appearance can be described as a white granular powder and soluble in water but not in alcohol. More importantly‚ potassium

Date of experiment : 7th August 2012 Venue: ME204 INTRODUCTION Chemical reactions are regularly categorized into 3 types: oxidation-reduction (redox reaction)‚ precipitation (double displacement) and acid-base reaction (double displacement) Type 1: Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Oxidation-reduction processes include the movements of electrons form oxidants to reductants‚ which lead to increases in oxidation number for oxidised species and decreases in oxidation

Reactions Lab Objectives: 1. To examine a variety of reactions including precipitation‚ acid-base‚ gas forming‚ and oxidation-reduction reactions. 2. To identify the products formed in these reactions and summarize the chemical changes in terms of balanced chemical equations and net ionic equations. 3. To identify the species being oxidized and reduced in oxidation-reduction reactions and determine which species is the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. Chemical equations represent what occurs

The Action of Naturally Occurring Toxins and Medicines It is important to classify toxins and medicines (drugs) in order to understanding the mechanism and function of each one of them. By doing so‚ it is also possible to increase their values by altering their mechanism (e.g. converting toxins to drugs) to cure diseases and improve human health. Therefore in this review‚ the mode of action of several toxins and drugs as well as their effects on human body will be discussed. 1. Cobratoxin Cobratoxin
