Electrolyte is a scientific term for salts‚ specifically ions. The term electrolyte means that this ion is electrically-charged and moves to either a negative or positive electrode. Ions that move to the negative which are called cations are positively charged and Ions that move to the positive which are called anions are negatively charged. They can be divided into acids‚ bases‚ and salts‚ because they all give ions when dissolved in water. Electrolytes are present in the human body‚ and the balance

called electrolyte solution. Second nature‚ a substance that when dissolved in water can not be conduct electricity and no chemical changes‚ so the solution formed called non electrolyte solution. All inorganic solvents‚ good acid‚ alkaline‚ or salt having the properties able to conduct electrical current. While all the solutions that come from organic substances such as sugar cane‚ manosa‚ glucose‚ glycerin‚ ethanol‚ and urea‚ not able to conduct electrical current. Electrolyte solution

beaker? Background Theory: The conductance of an electrolyte depends upon the number of ions present in the solution. Therefore‚ the greater the number of ions in the solution the greater is the conductance. The number of ions produced by an electrolyte depends upon its nature. The strong electrolytes dissociate almost completely into ions in solutions and‚ therefore‚ their solutions have high conductance. On the other hand‚ weak electrolytes dissociate to only small extents and give lesser number

Unfortunately‚ when we sweat or have a bowel movement‚ electrolytes are lost‚ and not keeping a balance of electrolytes will eventually affect the amount of water in your body‚ blood acidity‚ muscle action‚ and other important processes. Electrolytes regulate the body’s fluid intake. There are three types of electrolytes; sodium‚ potassium‚ and chloride. Electrolytes are present in the human body‚ and the balance of the electrolytes in our bodies is essential for normal function of

Produce too much sweat could have a significant loss of fluid and electrolytes in the body such as potassium and calcium. This can cause symptoms from fatigue and reduction in exercise performance to more serious conditions such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke (Leong‚ 2007). Drinking water after exercise helps to restore water balance in the body. Drinking sport drink‚ which contain sugar and electrolytes‚ can replace the electrolytes that loss in the body. Nerve and muscle contraction can be measured

Alterations in Fluids‚ Electrolytes‚ and Acid-Base Balance Composition & Compartment Distribution of Body Fluids ← Body fluids are distributed between the intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF) compartments. The ICF compartment consists of fluid contained within all of the billions of cells in the body. It is the larger of the two compartments‚ containing approximately two thirds of the body water in healthy adults. ← The remaining one third of body water is in

conditions and sweating excessively. When you sweat‚ you lose electrolytes and need to get them back quickly. One way to replenish these electrolytes is to sip on a sports drink. Sports drinks are made of To “normal” people sports drinks may cause weight gain and electrolyte imbalance. Electrolytes need to be balanced in order for our bodies to perform properly and for us to live. Drinking sports drinks may be one choice to regain electrolytes but another is to eat normal food. “Since sweat is about

athletes replace water‚ electrolytes and energy after training or competing‚ though their efficacy for that purpose has been questioned‚ particularly after exercise. Electrolyte is a medical term for salts‚ specifically ions. Electrolytes are crucial because they are what your cells use to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and to carry electrical impulses across themselves and to other cells. When you do an excessive amount of exercise‚ your body loses electrolytes through your sweat‚ particularly
