Yellow silver carbonate, Ag 2 CO 3 can be easily prepared by reacting aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate with a deficiency of silver nitrate. [49] Its principal use is for the production of silver powder for use in microelectronics. It is reduced with formaldehyde, producing silver free of alkali metals: [50] Ag 2 CO 3 + CH 2 O → 2 Ag + 2 ...
Sodium's estimated oceanic abundance is 10.8 grams per liter. [51] Because of its high reactivity, it is never found as a pure element. It is found in many minerals, some very soluble, such as halite and natron, others much less soluble, such as amphibole and zeolite.

Chemical element with atomic number 53 (I) Iodine, 53 I Iodine Pronunciation / ˈ aɪ ə d aɪ n, - d ɪ n, - d iː n / (EYE -ə-dyne, -din, -deen) Appearance lustrous metallic gray solid, black ...
The US nickel coin contains 0.04 ounces (1.1 g) of nickel, which at the April 2007 price was worth 6.5 cents, along with 3.75 grams of copper worth about 3 cents, with a total metal value of more than 9 cents. Since the face value of a nickel is 5 cents, this made it an attractive target for melting by people wanting to sell the metals at a profit.
An adult body has 22–26 grams of magnesium, [15] [113] with 60% in the skeleton, 39% intracellular (20% in skeletal muscle), and 1% extracellular. [15] Serum levels are typically 0.7–1.0 mmol/L or 1.8–2.4 mEq /L. Serum magnesium levels may be normal even when intracellular magnesium is deficient.
Sodium tungstate and lead have been studied for their effect on earthworms. Lead was found to be lethal at low levels and sodium tungstate was much less toxic, but the tungstate completely inhibited their reproductive ability. [131] Tungsten has been studied as a biological copper metabolic antagonist, in a role similar to the action of molybdenum.
The oxide ZnO is a white powder that is nearly insoluble in neutral aqueous solutions, but is amphoteric, dissolving in both strong basic and acidic solutions. [51] The other chalcogenides (ZnS, ZnSe, and ZnTe) have varied applications in electronics and optics. [63] Pnictogenides (Zn 3 N 2, Zn 3 P 2, Zn 3 As 2 and Zn 3 Sb 2), [64] [65] the ...
