lethal injection uses potassium chloride to stop the heart from working and is the 3rd drug injected since there are only 3 drugs involved during lethal injection. FYI:lethal injection uses.
sodium thiopental
=induces unconciousness
=also used for anasteasia in surgeries ect
pencuronium bromide
=mustle relaxant
=paralizes the victim
potassium chloride
=induses cardiac arrest
=stops heart from working
ST=ANESTHETIC AGENT
PB=PARALYZING AGENT
PC=TOXIC AGENT
this should answer your question on potassium chloride the other acids and bases im not realy fimmilular with hope this helped.
The four MAIN IONS in seawater in descending order of abundance are: CI: Chloride Na: Sodium SO4: Sulfate Mg: magnesium Found in Leckie-Yuretich: Investigating the Ocean, Page 114, Seawater Salinity: The salt of the Ocean
D. Sodium chloride is the most common salt found in ocean water. It is commonly known as table salt and makes up about 85% of the total salts dissolved in seawater.
The most important is sodium chloride; but also exist calcium, magnesium and potassium chlorides.
The most important is sodium chloride; other salts are magnesium, potassium, calcium chlorides and of course many minor salts.
Other salts in nature include calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate, potassium nitrate, and sodium bicarbonate. These salts can be found in various minerals, bodies of water, and geological formations throughout the world.
Water softeners typically use salt or potassium chloride to remove minerals such as calcium and magnesium from hard water. When hard water passes through the resin bed in the water softener, the sodium ions in the salt or potassium chloride exchange places with the calcium and magnesium ions, softening the water.
The concentrations of salts in waters are very variable and also the salt types; each water has a specific composition. For example sea/ocean water have approx. 35 g/L sodium chloride and treated tap water practically doesn't contain salts.
sodium chloride NaCl sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
Chlorine, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, calcium and potassium.
Seas generally do not contain hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide in significant amounts. These substances are typically found in laboratory settings or industrial processes. The composition of seawater consists mainly of salts, such as sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, and potassium chloride.
Oxygen - 85.84% Hydrogen - 10.82% Chlorine - 1.94% Sodium - 1.08% Magnesium - 0.1292% Sulfur - 0.091% Calcium - 0.04% Potassium - 0.04% Bromine - 0.0067% Carbon - 0.0028% The main ones are Oxygen. Hydrogen, Chlorine and Sodium. If you are looking for more information on this topic click on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seawater
Electrolytes are salts which are found in the body that conduct electricity. Some examples are calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride and potassium.
