Why Does Glycolysis Make A Cell More Alkaline?
And why does oxidative phosphorylation make a cell more adicic? I'm told that during glycolysis pyruvate is reduced by NADH and this turns pyruvate into lactate. NADH loses an electron and becomes NAD+. This increases the ratio of NAD+/NADH (a redox pair). Why does increasing the NAD+/NADH ratio mak...

Re: Making Potassium Citrate from Citric Acid From Lemons
Thank you!
Just curious, how do you determine which salt can work where its anions can be displaced by citrate? Is this a physical chemistry thing? It's been a long time since I took a class in physical chemistry.

Making Potassium Citrate from Citric Acid From Lemons
A lemon contains potassium citrate, but not as much as it contains citric acid. Because I like my citric acid and citrate to be natural, and not made from molds as industrial citric acid is, what potassium salt can I react with citric acid to make potassium citrate? The reason is I drink a potassium...

Re: Making Sodium Chorite from NaCl Solution and Electrolysis
Thanks.
I can see now I'm not doing it right. There has to be a simultaneous reducing (at anode) and oxidizing (at cathode) process to make this work.
Have forgotten my physical chemistry classes as this was long ago.

Re: Making Sodium Chorite from NaCl Solution and Electrolysis
2Cl- = Cl2 + 2e- (-1.36v needed; Cl2 is released into atmosphere- I hope I can minimize this as I need the Cl-. Any ideas?) I wonder if instead of this reaction, I could add an electron donor to the solution. What electron donors can I use? Would methylene blue do? I'm just thinking this, only beca...

Re: Making Sodium Chorite from NaCl Solution and Electrolysis
Here's what I've come up with on the process: First, heating the sodium chloride in water ensures that: NaCl = Na+ + Cl- Then, 2Cl- = Cl2 + 2e- (-1.36v needed; Cl2 is released into atmosphere- I hope I can minimize this as I need the Cl-. Any ideas?) Followed by both these 2 reactions: 4H2O + 4e- = ...

Re: Making Sodium Chorite from NaCl Solution and Electrolysis
I did not know this. Thanks.mportant is to stirr very good. Why?
You will not develop ClO2 that is different from ClO2-.
Why does stirring keep from producing chlorine dioxide?
Also, where can I get information on the potential (voltage) involved in dissociation/association reactions?

Re: Making Sodium Chorite from NaCl Solution and Electrolysis
watched this video : https://youtu.be/1nAe_T5mO2o I think I have some ideas: 1. Lower voltage to 3v. This will conserve the erosion of carbon electrodes that dirty the water. But more importantly, it may keep the voltage from going to a point where it provides enough energy needed to make chloride i...

Making Sodium Chorite from NaCl Solution and Electrolysis
I came across this article that shows how to make sodium chlorite from sodium chloride in a water solution using electrolysis: https://sciencing.com/make-sodium-chlorite-5188671.html The reaction should look like this, according to the Chemical Equation Balancer: https://www.webqc.org/balance.php?re...

I was just surprised that adding d-ribose to my magnesium bicarbonate drink would result in fizz, which signifies CO2 being released from a reaction. I'm now curious as to what form of magnesium results. There was no precipitation of whatever form it is, it is soluble. Likely an organic acid but I d...

What is the Product of Magnesium Bicarbonate and D-Ribose
I put d-ribose into a magnesium bicarbonate solution and it fizzed. So I wondered what could be going on. I used the Chemical Equation Balancer and this is what I got: https://www.webqc.org/balance.php?reaction=Mg%28HCO3%292%2BC9H10O5%3DMg%28C9H10O4%292%2BCO2%2BH2O What is Mg(C9H10O4)2? I can't find...
