Potassium chlorate is a rich source of oxygen. It decomposes upon heating to produce potassium chloride and oxygen. Write a correctly balanced equation for this reaction. (Use the smallest whole numbers possible. Type your answers using the format 2Ca(OH)2 for 2 Ca(OH)2.)

I am having a lot of health problems and they all seem to point to an issue with my adrenal gland overproducing hormones. I’m not jumping to conclusions or anything, as I know it could be a variety of things because my symptoms are multifarious. So, just wondering.

I’m scheduled to see a doctor, unfortunately not for a few weeks though.

If you were wondering, my symptoms in a nutshell;
Neurological: Episodes where I lose the ability to read and write (I can read, but I always see the wrong word and none of it makes sense. Same with writing, I use the wrong words). During the most severe reading/writing episode, I lost peripheral vision in my right eye. Spacing out constantly, which feels very good (weird, I know).

Fatigue. Not just like, standard my-ass-is-dragging-because-I’m-having-a-bad-day fatigue. It’s scary. Walking 300 feet causes my heart to race, my knees to buckle, and I need to sit down. I’m also noticing what feels like orthostatic hypotension (head rush, dizziness, loss of vision, etc.) I can’t make it through a shower without sitting down. I am a fairly active, young female.

Hair loss. I’m losing it in clumps. I have patches of missing hair. I eat a healthy diet and am pretty regimented with vitamins and supplements (prenatal, calcium, thiamine, biotin, iron, vitamin c, potassium).

Increased sex drive. Not enjoyable AT ALL. It’s constant and does not get better, even with hours of stimulation. It is interfering with my day-to-day activities.

Those are my major complaints. I went to the ER at the onset of the neurological problems. Had a CBC, which was fine and a head CT (also fine). I’m supposed to have an EEG and MRI, but the tests need to be ordered by my PCP, not the ER doctor.

i just want to know what to eat so my potassium level dont get higher

When in use in a Chemistry Lab, why are containers of potassium permanganate covered with aluminum foil?

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God’s bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said, ‘You want hot fudge with that? And Man said, ‘Yes!’ And Woman said, ‘I’ll have one too with chocolate chips’. And they both gained 10 pounds.

And God created the healthy yogurt that woman might keep the figure that man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.

So God said, ‘Try my fresh green salad’. And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said ‘I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them’.

And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter, and Man’s cholesterol went through the roof.

Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition.

Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding bountiful quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds.

And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created McDonalds and the 99 cent double cheeseburger. Then Satan said ‘You want fries with that?’ and Man replied, ‘Yes, and super size ‘em’. And Satan said, ‘It is good.’ And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed ………. and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

And then ………… Satan chuckled and created the National Health Insurance Service.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION

After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here’s the final word on nutrition and health.:

1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
6. The French eat foie-gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

My grandma yesterday had low blood pressure and she looked very pale. We called the ambulance and the only thing they found was she had low blood pressure. This morning her blood pressure was okay, but now her blood pressure is high. Last night she did take medication though.

What does this mean?

I’ve been taking prenatal vitamins for cosmetic reasons (it helps hair growth, and before you ask, yes it works with a combination of other vitamins and diets) and I recently became sexually active. Will taking these vitamins increase my risk of pregnancy? Yes, I’m using condoms.
To whoever said "vitamins don’t cause pregnancy" yes, I’m usually aware that taking a vitamin C or something would not help my chances. but since they’re vitamins that assist already impregnated women, I wanted to be sure. thanks everyone else(:

Problem is since December’ 2005. Has dialysis twice a week.
