What is in well water that causes edema?
Well water may contain high levels of minerals such as sodium, chloride, and fluoride, which can lead to water retention and edema when consumed in excess. It's important to have well water tested for these minerals and to regulate intake accordingly.
List the three agents of metamorphism and describe the role of each?
Recall that any rock can be changed to a metamorphic rock. Whatever the beginning rock is, it is called the PROTOLITH of the metamorphic rock it is transformed into. Three things contribute in varying proportions to the transformation from a protolith to a metamorphic rock: heat, pressure, and fluids (mostly water with dissolved ions).1. HEAT contributes to the process in two ways. First, atoms may combine differently at different temperatures. This means that a mineral stable at one temperature might become unstable at a higher (or lower) temperature and be converted to a different mineral with a more stable atomic structure. This may or may not involve changing the exact elemental composition. Second, heat makes practically all chemical reactions go faster, meaning that mineral transformations are much easier at higher temperature.2. PRESSURE also has two effects. As with heat, it can control which minerals or forms of minerals are stable. Some minerals may be converted to minerals with similar composition but different atomic packing simply because pressure is increased. The exact nature of the pressure is not important in this case, only the amount. Thus the CONFINING (or LITHOSTATIC) PRESSURE created by deep burial of rocks under sediment may have this effect as well as the DIRECTED (or DIFFERENTIAL) PRESSURE produced by converging plates. The second effect of pressure is to reorient minerals with linear or platy structure or to create a preferred orientation of them as they form. Thus elongate minerals such as amphiboles, or platy minerals such as clays or micas tend to align themselves parallel to each other when under pressure. This only happens when there is directedpressure; confining pressure does not accomplish it. The diagram illustrates the effect. A texture of this sort in a metamorphic rock is called FOLIATION and the rocks are said to be FOLIATED.3. FLUIDS serve only to speed up other metamorphic processes, or perhaps even allow them to happen at all. Chemical reactions require water, and most proceed much faster as the amount of water goes up. Dissolved ions in the fluid also make those mineral transformations that require chemical changes in the minerals to occur, whether by supplying needed ions or flushing away excess ones.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of minerals?
Mining is a disadvantage: - Can pollute nearby water sources - Destroys animal habitats The many uses are an advantages, minerals are used to make buildings, metals, machines, etc etc thats all i have. sorry i have to go write my paper on the advantages and disadvantages of minerals LOL
How can leaching of minerals from fertilizer application cause eutrophication?
When excess fertilizer is applied to soil, rainwater can cause the minerals to leach into nearby water bodies. This influx of nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, can stimulate excessive growth of algae and aquatic plants, leading to eutrophication. As these organisms decompose, they consume oxygen, creating dead zones and harming aquatic life.
What is nh2conh2?
NH2CONH2 is the chemical formula for urea, a compound found in urine and used in fertilizers, cosmetics, and as a raw material for plastics and resins. It is produced in the liver as a way to remove excess nitrogen from the body.
What is called the reappearance of excess dissolved substance from the solution on cooling?
Crystallysation,solution,filtrate,solvent
What is a saturated solution that hasn't crystallized yet?
A saturated solution that has not yet crystallized is a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in the solvent at a specific temperature. It is in a state of dynamic equilibrium where the rate of dissolution is equal to the rate of crystallization. Any disturbance can trigger the crystallization of excess solute in the solution.
What is a chemical rock formed by crystilization of excess dissolved materials?
This is known as an evaporite, examples include Halite, Gypsum and certain types of Limestone.
What do you call it when too much solvent is in to a solution and it becomes unstable?
When there is an excess of solvent in a solution, causing it to become unstable and unable to maintain the solute in a dissolved state, it is referred to as supersaturation. This can lead to precipitation or crystallization of the solute from the solution.
What waste removal is the urinary system is responsible for?
Urine, which is composed of dissolved wastes and excess water or chemical substances from the body and is produced when blood filters through the kidneys.
How do excess minerals leave the body?
minerals leave the body from sweat
Why is there trash in your urine?
Urine is one of the products of the body's excretory system. It is produced when blood filters through the kidneys. It is composed of dissolved wastes and excess water or chemical substances from the body.
Which type of chemical lead to lack of dissolved oxygen?
Nutrient pollution, specifically excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, can lead to an overgrowth of algae. When the algae die and decompose, bacteria use up the dissolved oxygen in the water, causing hypoxia or oxygen depletion.
What are the monomers in minerals?
The monomers in minerals are atoms or ions. These monomers can bond together through chemical reactions to form crystal structures, which are the building blocks of minerals. Examples of monomers in minerals include silicon (Si) and oxygen (O) in the case of silicate minerals.
What makes crystallization happen?
Crystallization occurs when a solution becomes supersaturated, meaning it holds more dissolved solute than it can normally accommodate. As the solution cools or evaporates, solute particles become more closely packed together and begin to form a repeating, ordered pattern known as a crystal lattice. This process continues until all excess solute is precipitated out of the solution, resulting in the formation of solid crystals.
When element's and compounds that are dissolved in water leave a solution and what are the results?
When elements and compounds dissolved in water leave a solution, it is called precipitation. Precipitation occurs when the solubility limit of the substance in the solution is exceeded, causing the excess to form a solid that settles out. This process can be used to purify substances or separate components in a mixture.
If a substance dissociates and forms an excess of h positive ions when dissolved in watr it is referred to as?
If a substance dissociates and forms an excess of H+ ions when dissolved in water, it is referred to as an acid. Acids are substances that donate protons when dissolved in water, leading to an increase in H+ ions concentration in the solution.
