Wanted: Calcium Chloride Calcium Chloride is wanted for a crime in Atom-city. If you have any information of the whereabouts of Calcium Chloride, please contact sheriff Cassie Mes. Calcium Chloride, also known as CaCl2, is an ionic compound of calcium and chlorine. Another name of this compound is Calcium Dichloride (“Di” meaning 2). Calcium Chloride is an inorganic salt, (doesn’t contain carbon-hydrogen bonds) which exists in a solid form or as a liquid solution. The solid form of calcium chloride is an odorless white, crystalline substance in the form of flake, granule or powder that has a slight salty taste. Calcium chloride in the form of a liquid is colourless. Melting point: 772 °C Boiling point: 1,935 °C Density: 2.15 g/cm³ It is …show more content…
(Low level of calcium in the bloodstream) It can also be used for many conditions such as spider bites, magnesium overdose, intoxication, and lead colic. The Nemours Foundation says that calcium chloride promotes cardiovascular health because it protects the heart from intoxication of potassium or certain heart medications. Solid calcium chloride is used as a "de-icer" since it has the ability to melt large volumes of snow and ice on roads and sidewalks. Due to increased concerns about high amounts of sodium in our foods and the lack of calcium intake, many manufacturers add calcium chloride, which has a slightly salty taste, instead of sodium chloride to their products, such as canned tomatoes. They contain calcium chloride as a preservative and to improve the overall nutrition and quality of the tomatoes. Many beverages also add calcium chloride as part of their overall electrolyte replenishing formulation. Calcium chloride also preserves fresh apple slices, preventing the brown colour when exposed to Oxygen. Some other foods that add calcium chloride are cheese, Tofu and Soybean …show more content…
Calcium is important physiologically for healthy nerves, muscles and bones. A lack of calcium can reduce the signals between the brain and muscles. As a result, muscles can become weak and your heart can beat irregularly. Chloride ions regulate the pH balance in the bloodstream and help to control your body fluid levels. Calcium chloride was discovered in the 15th century but received little attention or study until 1808 by an English Chemist named Humphrey Davy. Calcium chloride is produced by reacting acid with limestone or as a by-product of the Solvay chemical process. The present demand for calcium chloride is estimated at 53 tons per year, the demand is expected to reach at 137.5 tons by 2018. It was actually considered a waste product until its uses were discovered. Large amounts of calcium chloride are produced in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Japan. But in 1990, there were only 9 producers. The United States imports most of its calcium chloride from
The purpose for this experiment was to determine why it was not possible to obtain a high percent yield when Calcium Nitrate Ca(〖NO_3)〗_2 with a concentration of 0.101 M was mixed with Potassium Iodate KIO_3 with concentration of 0.100 M at varying volumes yielding Calcium Iodate precipitate and Potassium Nitrate. Filtration was used to filter the precipitates of the solutions. The percent yield for solution 1 was 87.7%, and the percent yield for solution 2 was 70.8%. It was not possible to obtain a high percent yield because Calcium Iodate is not completely soluble and some of the precipitates might have been rinsed back to the filtrates when ethanol was used to remove water molecules in the precipitate.
The purpose for this lab was to use aluminum from a soda can to form a chemical compound known as hydrated potassium aluminum sulfate. In the lab aluminum waste were dissolved in KOH or potassium sulfide to form a complex alum. The solution was then filtered through gravity filtration to remove any solid material. 25 mLs of sulfuric acid was then added while gently boiling the solution resulting in crystals forming after cooling in an ice bath. The product was then collected and filter through vacuum filtration. Lastly, crystals were collected and weighed on a scale.
The purpose of the Unknown White Compound Lab was to identify the unknown compound by performing several experiments. Conducting a solubility test, flame test, pH paper test, ion test, pH probe test, conductivity probe test, and synthesizing the compound will accurately identified the unknown compound. In order to narrow down the possible compounds, the solubility test was used to determine that the compound was soluble in water. Next, the flame test was used to compare the unknown compound to other known compounds such as potassium chloride, sodium chloride, and calcium carbonate. The flame test concluded that the cation in the unknown compound was potassium. Following, pH paper was used to determine the compound to be neutral and slightly
Calcium helps make bones strong and dense. Calcium is not made in the body so the body has to get it from the bones. When calcium is low bones will release less calcium into the blood stream.
Calcium Chloride is ideal for snow removal because it can be used when temperatures are as low as -13° F and gets hot once it touches the pavement, which is why it is an instant melting solution (Riebel, 2014). Calcium Chloride is not only ideal for melting snow, but is also useful for fertilizer for plants since it contains micronutrients that allow plants to grow and develop. Calcium Chloride contains nutrients that are used in photosynthesis that plants get from the soil and helps plants strengthen and thicken their cell walls. If calcium chloride is not present, plants can have weak stems and flowers can shed off quickly (Miller n.d.). Calcium Chloride is also sprayed on fruit and trees to prevent calcium deficiency that causes diseases if not treated (Bogemans, Neirinckx, and Stassart, 1989). Overall, calcium chloride is very useful for snow removal, as well as plant growth and
Investigating Factors Which Affect The Reaction Between Chalk and An Acid. Introduction: Chalk is just one of the many forms that calcium carbonate can take. It is made of the mineral remains of sea creatures from millions of years. ago.
CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
This is called copper oxide. The copper carbonate has been decomposed. Copper oxide is made by thermal decomposition of copper carbonate. Carbon dioxide is also made. The formula for this is: Copper Carbonate =
Not only is calcium usable in the lactic form found in dairy products, but in forms such as calcium citrate and calcium carbonate (Calcium Supplement Guidelines). These two sources are the most common types of calcium found as supplements, and are usually in the form of a pill. Calcium citrate contains by mass 21 percent calcium, while calcium carbonate contains by mass 40 percent calcium. Calcium Carbonate can be found naturally in sources such as bone-meal, oyster shell, and dolomite, but these are all capable of containing toxins such as lead or mercury and should be avoided (Got Calcium?). Even when being careful to avoid such sources it is still important to check for a United States Pharmacopeia symbol to ensure purity of the source. When used to a source such as milk this may seem like extra work but it prevents toxins and other unnecessary ingredients from being accidentally ingested.
Silver chloride is an ionic chemical compound with the chemical formula, AgCl. Silver chloride has a electronegativity of 1.4 and is known be rather, extremely low with regards to water solubility. It has a density if 5.56 gm/cm3, a melting point of 455 degrees and a boiling point of 1,547 degrees and the state of this compound is solid in room temperature. When heated, AgCl converts to silver and chlorine, which is evident by the greyish or purplish prominence of the compound.
Rate of Reaction Between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid Plan: In my experiment I will measure the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. The rate of the reaction is the speed that the reaction takes place so by measuring the rate I will measure the amount of time the reaction takes. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that is found in digestive juices in the stomach, it is also used for cleaning metals before they are coated. Calcium carbonate has a few forms including chalk and limestone the main use of these two materials is in the making of concrete, which is used for many things such as buildings. When you put calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid together they react to form calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.
Our food contains mineral, or mineral was added on it when it was made. Salt is used during the preparation of our food almost in every food that we know. Calcium carbamate is used in cakes, bread, and other pastries. Sands, which is usually made up of quarts, is used to filter the water that we drink and there are other minerals that also purify the water.
The difference between potassium and sodium was not discovered until the 18th century. "Vegetable alkali" also known as potassium carbonate came from the earth. "Mineral alkali" also known as sodium carbonate came from wood ashes. Early chemists did not recognise that these were two different chemical compounds.
In conclusion, our body is made up of several ions that are essential in the body in order to obtain a healthy system. In order to be provided with the benefits these ions offer the body, the body must be cared for by being fed the right foods, being exercised regularly and making sure it’s healthy by attending scheduled check-ups. Ions help the body in more ways than one. They provide the body with nutrients that strengthen our health system in order to ensure we maintain our well-being. These ions can be beneficial to the human body by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
