...Clinical Case Study Summary of Hyponatremia The drug MDMA, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamin, commonly known as ecstasy leads to feelings of euphoria, emotional empathy, and increased energy. Hyponatremia is an electrolyte disturbance in which the sodium ion concentration in the plasma is lower than normal. Sodium is the dominant extracellular cation (positive ion) and cannot freely cross from the interstitial space into the cell, because charged sodium ions attract up to 25 water molecules around them, creating a large polar structure that is too large to pass through the cell membrane. In this study we looked at the case of one young college student who passed away from using ecstasy, as well as two other different examples from a marathon runner and a post surgical patient. One of the most serious medical complications of ecstasy abuse is related to symptomatic hyponatremia. The cause of hyponatremia seen with ecstasy is dilutional in nature and likely due to several interacting effects. Excessive water intake has been directly associated with ecstasy use. For partygoers the effects of amphetamines induce dry mouth and the sensation of thirst causing the user to over hydrate especially after a long night of dancing. For marathon runners, excess antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also known as vasopressin) can be released from the result of strenuous physical activity. The treatment of hyponatremia depends on the underlying cause and whether the patient's blood volume status is hypervolemic...

...10/07/2013 Experiment 5: Wittig Reaction Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize trans-9-(2-phenylethenyl) anthracene using a wittig reagent formed by reacting phosphonium chloride with base. Experimental In a reaction tube, (0.200g) benzyltriphenyl phosphonium chloride, (0.115g) anthraaldehyde, and (.6ml) dichloromethane (DCM) is mixed together with a stir bar. We stirred the mixture rapidly and added (0.26ml) of a 50% NaOH solution dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 20-30 minutes. We added (1.5ml) DCM and (1.5ml) water, and the tube was shaken until the layers separated. The water layer was removed. This step was repeated and the water was removed again. CaCl2 pellets were added to DCM solution until it longer clumped. The solution was filtered to separted the CaCl2 pellets from DCM. DCM was used to wash pellets before filtering. To the solid in bottom of flask, (3ml) of propanol was added, heated and cooled. Filteration was tried once more to gain crystals. Due to nonexistent crystals a melting point could not be performed. Observations: We noticed after adding propanol our solution became very orange and cloudy. After heating it the solution was a clear golden color. We chilled the solution in ice and attained no crystals. After repeatedly heating and cooling, we saw our solution go from cloudy to clear over and over. After filtering one more time the color of orange stained the filter paper...

...1 Dehydration Mike Martin SCI/241 01/21/2012 Mike Esposito 2 Water is important for creating and sustaining life. In humans, the body is made up of about sixty percent water. Every part of our body including muscle, bone, and blood consists of some percentage of water. About a third of our total body water is extracellular fluid, which is fluid outside and between cells and water in our blood. This is the most important as the blood in our bodies delivers the oxygen and nutrients to all cells. Without the proper amount of water everyday there is a risk of dehydration. Severe dehydration can cause nerve damage, seizures, abnormal blood pressure, brain damage, arrhythmia, and even death. Water is essential to everyday health maintenance as it helps in the balance of our body fluids, such as absorption, digestion, circulation, and distribution of nutrients. The muscles, which are about seventy-five percent water, need that balance of fluids to perform properly. This is especially true when exercising, or running. Body temperature is also regulated with the help of water, since water changes temperature slowly. Water also helps the body get rid of toxins through the kidneys. Without enough fluids the kidneys will keep extra fluids instead of passing them through urine. Water also helps pass food through the intestines, which in turn prevents constipation. 3 Every function in our bodies runs smoothly and works properly with an adequate supply of water. This could...

...Dehydration Effects Dehydration is the “excessive loss of water resulting in depletion of body fluids” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006, p. 282). When the body goes through dehydration there can be many symptoms. Some of these symptoms can include: feelings of nausea, light-headedness, and feeling dizzy. Dehydration can cause symptoms to show more rapidly than any other vitamin deficiency. With other vitamin deficiencies, days or weeks can pass before symptoms are felt by the body (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006). Symptoms can be seen when dehydrated after only an hour of activity on a hot day. Water is essential to health maintenance because the human body is more than half water. The typical adult’s body weight is about 60% water. This number is even higher in small children and infants. When dehydration sets in, it is important to replace this lost water as fast as possible. Another reason that water is essential to health maintenance is that the body needs a certain proportion of water and dissolved substances. This proportion of water and dissolved substances is necessary so that all the chemical reactions necessary to sustain life continue to function (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006). Water has many functions in the body. Muscles are made up of almost 75% water while bones are about 25% water. Water is used as a fluid both inside and outside the cells in a body. Water found in the cells is known as intracellular fluid while water outside the cells is known as extracellular...

...1. Part A.2. What is the formula and the color of the gas that is evolved? The name of the brown colored gas is nitrite, and its formula is NO2 (Beran, 2014). 2. Part B.1. When the NaOH solution is added, Cu(OH)2 does not precipitate immediately. What else present in the reaction mixture from Part A reacts with the NaOH before the copper(II) ion? Explain. The other compound present within the reaction mixture that came from Part A is water, H2O, which reacts with the NaOH before the copper(II) ion (Beran, 2014). 3. Part C.1. The sample in Part B was not centrifuges. Why? Perhaps the student chemist had to be across campus for another appointment. Because of the student’s “other priorities” the percent recovery of copper will decrease. Explain why. The percent recovery of this student’s copper will decrease due to the failure of forming enough of the copper(II) hydroxide precipitate within the centrifuge, which is required for the consequent steps of the rest of the experiment (Beran, 2014). 4. Part D.1. All of the CuO does not react with the sulfuric acid. Will the reported percent recovery of copper in the experiment be too high or too low? Explain. The final percent recovery of copper in the experiment will be too low, because not enough copper sulfide will be yielded by the reaction, which will be consequently used by the reactions in the final steps of the experiment (Beran, 2014). 5. Part E. Sulfuric acid has a dual role in the chemistry of this experiment. What are its...

...Water is very essential to maintaining our health. The average adult body weight is 60 percent water. This mineral is found in all areas of the human body and it is plays a vital role in various bodily functions. Body cells are made mostly of water and are surrounded by it. As water moves throughout the different body compartments it equalizes the concentration of dissolved particles. It is the driving force behind osmosis. Osmosis is the passive movement across a membrane to equalize the concentration of solution on both sides. This process also allows nutrients and waste products to be transported through the cell wall. Without osmosis, water would not be able to move throughout the cells in your body causing them to die and this can be harmful to your health. Water in the body provides many functions. It helps dissolves various substances like glucose, amino acids and minerals. Acidity levels are maintained by water in the body. It cleanses the cells of the body and lubricates and rinses internal and external body surfaces. Watery tears lubricate the eyes and wash away dirt, synovial fluid lubricates the joints, and saliva lubricates the mouth, making it easier to chew and swallow food. Water cushions different body compartments such as the joints and eyeballs against shock by resisting compression. The cushioning effect of water in the amniotic sac protects the fetus as it grows inside a pregnant woman. Blood, which is mostly water, flows through our bodies...

...SCI 241 – Week 5 Assignment: Dehydration Christina Doner Our bodies are made up of mostly water. What does that mean? Exactly how it sounds. Water is found in every part of the body; from tissue, to muscle, and in the bone. Bodies depend on water for lubrication, protection, oxygen in the blood (which too is mainly water), in addition to the delivery of nutrients throughout the body. Consequently, water is essential to the survival of human life. Most importantly, bodies do not store water, resulting in obligatory consumption of water on a daily basis to replenish or restore water that was lost through evaporation or urination. Each person’s body is different, so the best way to configure how much water to consume on a daily basis is to ask a doctor or trained physician. Dehydration occurs when a body is losing more fluids than is consumed, and does not have adequate amount of water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions. Water is crucial in maintaining fluid balance throughout the body. Our bodies require adequate amounts of water in our system to regulate body functions and remain healthy. Some examples of what water does for our bodies are; moistening the eyes, help with chewing and break down of food through the mixture of saliva, and to lubricate and protect our bodies joints. So, the most important task of water is its controlling response to chemical reactions. Water is essential in regulating and maintaining our body’s temperature, assuring it...

...Dehydration Dehydration Water is nearly a ubiquitous element on our planet, and yet numerous people suffer from low levels of dehydration on a continual basis. While the human body requires many micro and macronutrients, none can be said to be more present in its composition than water. As a result, water is essential to health maintenance. Water’s essential character is a result of its involvement in myriad functions within the human body. When the body is deprived of the water levels that it requires dehydration ensues. Alcohol and caffeine contribute to dehydration and the injurious symptoms that result. Water also serves as a medium for electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride which maintain water levels and facilitate the proper functioning of the nervous system. Finally, there are many things that people can do to prevent dehydration, but water requirements vary according to many factors. Water is essential to the maintenance of health Water is a necessary component of human life, and the symptoms of its deficiency are one of the quickest to manifest of all nutrients. Water composes around 60% of an average adult’s weight, and this percentage is even higher among children. Whereas the human body is composed of numerous compounds none are more prevalent than water. While the presence of water varies among the different tissues in the body, it is nonetheless found in every bodily tissue. For example, though bone is composed...
