Most of the body's potassium ions (K+) are inside cells, at much higher levels compared to blood serum. When there is widespread cellular damage or rupture (as in burns) then K+ ions are released into the extracellular space, raising blood levels.

Why does your pool turn green 3 days after chemicals have been added?

water chemistry effects sanitizer level- adding water dilutes sanitizer level - rain dilutes plus puts enviromental pollution into the pool - your swim load affects sanitizer level - your water temperature (Warm) and the Sun can burn out the sanitizer level- was the filter running was the pool crystal clear what type of filter do you have? To many variables, take a pool water sample to your nearest dealer and discuss your problem with them so they can properly diagnose your pool


When acids dissolve in water they release what type of positive ion a H plus b K plus c Na plus d None of the answers given?

When acids dissolve in water they release a proton - also called a H+ ion. So the answer is "a". The level of acidity is due to H+ and level of alkalinity due to (OH)-. This is displayed in the equation pH=-log[H+] i.e. concentration of H+ ion.


CuCO3 ------- CuO plus CO2 - heat Is this correct?

Yes, that is correct. When copper carbonate (CuCO3) is heated, it decomposes into copper(II) oxide (CuO) and carbon dioxide (CO2).


If you spilled boiling alcohol on yourself would there be any difference in the severity of that burn compared with the burn caused by boiling water?

Yes there would because alcohol is already a chemical plus your burning it at a high velocity. I think we should assume the alcohol is not burning. Even so, the answer is yes, mainly because the alcohol is not as hot as the water, so it has less heat to burn you with. The water burns you more than the alcohol does.


What is the pH level of diovol plus?

Diovol Plus is an antacid formulation that typically contains magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, and simethicone. The pH level of such antacid products usually ranges from 7 to 10, indicating that it is alkaline. However, the exact pH can vary based on the specific formulation and concentration of its ingredients. For precise information, it's best to consult the product's packaging or manufacturer's information.
