Firstly, your father needs to go for a good physical by the family doctor and a good blood workup. There are other conditions that can cause cramping in the entire body. NEVER self medicate! Take your father into the doctor (he may refuse to go) but until then here is information on Calcium (MUST CONTAIN 1/2 THE AMOUNT OF MAGNESIUM FOR THE BODY TO UTILIZE IT CORRECTLY): Leg or body cramps are often a result of a lack of calcium or magnesium. Because the body utilizes calcium during the nighttime hours, this is when leg cramps are most often going to occur. It's adviseable to take a full glass of milk before bedtime.

To prevent leg and body cramps, supplement with a high quality calcium supplement just before bed. Calcium supplements should contain half the amount of magnesium as they do calcium and include vitamin D for maximum absorption. Do not take calcium supplements with antacids as stomach acid is necessary for the calcium to disolve and be absorbed. This is also why calcium from milk may not be your best source of calcium.

Hope this helps you. Get your father for that physical!

Calcium sulfate will precipitate in water?

When calcium ions (Ca²⁺) and sulfate ions (SO₄²⁻) in water combine, they form calcium sulfate (CaSO₄), which is mostly insoluble and precipitates out of the water. This precipitation can be seen when a solution containing calcium ions and sulfate ions is mixed together, resulting in the formation of a solid calcium sulfate precipitate.

That depends entirely on what you want it to do. Nothing can fully replace another solution, because nothing is exactly the same, but other bases can be used for neutralisation or for alkalinity purposes; other sodium salts can be used to provide it if needed.

What can calciume be use for?

Tomato plants must have calcium to avoid blossom end rot. Calcium chloride can be used for a quick fix if blossom end rot is detected. It must be used in a very dilute solution to avoid damaging the plant (one teaspoon per gallon) and it can be misted on the plant's leaves. It is better to add lime to the soil before planting to provide the calcium. Too much calcium chloride in the soil can be damaging to all growing things.


If calcium carbonate reacts with acid how can you increase the rate of reaction?

You can increase the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and acid by increasing the temperature of the solution, increasing the surface area of the calcium carbonate (e.g., by using powdered instead of solid chunks), or increasing the concentration of the acid. These factors can help to provide more opportunities for collisions between the reactant particles, leading to a faster reaction rate.
