Yes if you tied the mouth of balloon tight enough that the gas doesn't leak and the reaction produce enough gas that would inflate the balloon.

If you have silver nitrate in the lab response procedures should be detailed in the firat aid kit. They usually are:Inhalation:Remove to fresh air.If not breathing, give artificial respiration.If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.Get medical attention immediately.Ingestion:If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.Give large quantities of water.Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.Get medical attention immediately.Skin Contact:Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.Get medical attention immediately.Wash clothing before reuse.Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.Eye Contact:Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally.Get medical attention immediately.

Hypokalemia?
DefinitionHypokalemia is a lower-than-normal amount of potassium in the blood.Alternative NamesPotassium - low; Low blood potassiumCauses, incidence, and risk factorsPotassium is needed for cells, especially nerve and muscle cells, to function properly. You get potassium through food. The kidneys remove excess potassium in the urine to keep a proper balance of the mineral in the body.Hypokalemia is a metabolic disorder that occurs when the level of potassium in the blood drops too low.Possible causes of hypokalemia include:Certain antibiotics (carbenicillin, gentamicin, amphotericin B)Certain drugs, called diuretics, that can cause excess urinationDiarrhea (including the use of too many laxatives, which can cause diarrhea)Diseases that affect the kidney's ability to retain potassium (for example, Liddle syndrome, Cushing syndrome, hyperaldosteronism, Bartter syndrome, Fanconi syndrome)Eating disorders (such as bulimia)Eating large amounts of licorice or using products such as herbal teas and chewing tobaccos that contain licorice made with glycyrrhetinic acid (this substance is no longer used in licorice made in the United States)SweatingVomitingSymptomsA small drop in potassium usually doesn't cause symptoms. However, a big drop in the level can be life threatening.Symptoms of hypokalemia include:Abnormal heart rhythms (dysrhythmias), especially in people with heart diseaseBreakdown of muscle fibers (rhabdomyolysis)ConstipationFatigueMuscle weakness or spasmsParalysis (which can include the lungs)Signs and testsYour health care provider will take a sample of your blood to check potassium levels.Other tests might include:Arterial blood gasBUN and creatininelevelElectrocardiogramBlood tests to checkglucose, magnesium, calcium, sodium, phosphorous, thyroxine, and aldosterone levelsTreatmentMild hypokalemia can be treated by taking potassium supplements by mouth. Persons with more severe cases may need to get potassium through a vein (intravenously).If you need to use diuretics, your doctor may switch you to a form that keeps potassium in the body (such as triamterene, amiloride, or spironolactone).One type of hypokalemia that causes paralysis occurs when there is too much thyroid hormone in the blood (thyrotoxic periodic paralysis). Treatment lowers the thyroid hormone level, and raises the potassium level in the blood.Expectations (prognosis)Taking potassium supplements can usually correct the problem. In severe cases, without proper treatment, a severe drop in potassium levels can lead to death.ComplicationsIn severe cases, patients can develop paralysis that can be life threatening. Hypokalemia also can lead to dangerous irregular heartbeat. Over time, lack of potassium can lead to kidney damage (hypokalemic nephropathy).Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have been vomiting or have had excessive diarrhea, or if you are taking diuretics and have symptoms of hypokalemia.PreventionEating a diet rich in potassium can help prevent hypokalemia. Foods high in potassium include:BananasBranBrussels sproutsGranolaKiwiLima beansMilkOrangesPeachesPeanut butterPeas and beansTomatoesReferencesSeifter JL. Potassium disorders.

Rinsing the mouth with a saline (salt) solution can be very helpful after teeth have been removed. The rinsing can clean the mouth, and the salt restores the natural balance of the mouth and is antibacterial. If the mouth is sensitive, the solution can be warmed to match the body temperature to minimise pain.

What does fluoride seems to be helpful in preventing?
What does fluoride seems to be helpful in preventing? Fluoride is found naturally in soil and water. However, because it is helpful in preventing tooth decay and in making teeth stronger, it is also added to water in most cities. Fluoride protects teeth from the demineralization that is caused by acid buildup in the mouth. Further, if there is already damage caused by this acid, fluoride will help strengthen the enamel and remineralize the teeth. Fluoride helps make tooth enamel more resistant to the acid that can damage the enamel and cause cavities.
How long after flouride treatment can you eat?
The typical fluoride treatment today takes 1-4 minutes. However, research has shown that fluoride uptake in the enamel continues up to 30 minutes. By avoiding food or drink for 30 minutes you maximize the amount of fluoride available in the mouth during uptake.
