Chemical elements are the

are combined to form DNA,

tissues, and organs. This
article will discuss those
elements which are present
in the human body, the
proportion of them, and the

Elements that make up
the human body
The body is, for all intents
and purposes, an
extraordinarily complex
machine. This requires a
multitude of parts all
working together in
complicated relationships
from the micro- to
macromolecular level. The
structure of the building
blocks that make up the
sum of these parts, such as
proteins and nucleic acids,
is determined by the
proportion and interaction
of chemical elements.

Drug molecules enter

so it is natural that their
compositions resemble to
that of human body.
However, there are always
interesting exceptions in
which you can find unusual
elements. A survey of drug
compositions would find
many examples containing
sodium and potassium.
However, most of these
drugs are the salts of
sodium or potassium,
meaning that the metals are
used as “counterions” to
simply increase the
solubility of the parent
acidic drug. For example, a
famous hyperlipidemia
drug pravastatin is isolated
as a lactone from its natural
source, but is hydrolyzed
into the sodium salt of
carboxylic acid in order to
increase the solubility.

All of these 11 elements are

remaining 0.15% of the
human body is comprised
of trace elements. The
combined mass of the trace
elements does not add up

Examples of Pure
Substances Pure
substances have a uniform

Examples include water
(liquid), diamond (solid),
and oxygen (gas). In
chemistry, a pure
substance is a material with
a constant composition. In
other words, it is
homogeneous no matter

substance consists entirely
of one type of atom or
compound. It participates

compound is a pure
substance composed of
two or more different atoms

can not be separated into
its constituents by
mechanical or physical
means and only can be
destroyed by chemical
means. A mixture is a
material containing two or
more elements or
compounds that are in
close contact and are
mixed in any proportion.
For example, air, sea water,
crude oil, etc. The
constituents of a mixture
can be separated by
physical means like
filtration, evaporation,
sublimation and magnetic
separation. The
constituents of a mixture
retain their original set of
properties. Further,
mixtures can be classified
to homogeneous and
heterogeneous mixtures. A
homogeneous mixture has
the same uniform
appearance and
composition throughout its
mass. For example, sugar
or salt dissolved in water,
alcohol in water, etc. A
heterogeneous mixture
consists of visibly different
substances or phases. The
three phases or states of

should appear the same
everywhere in its
composition. The exception
is when matter exists in
multiple phases (e.g.,
melting ice). If you can write
the element symbol or
chemical formula for a
sample, it’s a pure
Reason:
A pure substance is a
form of matter that has a
constant composition and
properties that are constant
throughout the sample
while a mixture is a material
composed of two or more
substances.
 Enduring Understanding/Generalization:
Pure substances are made up of one type of particle and cannot be physically separated into other substances
while Mixtures are made up of more than one type of particle and can be physically separated into other substances.

Essential Question
How important are solutions
to day-today activities?
Text 1
SOLUTIONS We are most
accustomed to thinking of
solutions as mixtures of a
substance dissolved in
water, but in fact the
meaning of the term is
broader than that.
Certainly, there is a special
place in chemistry for
solutions in which water—
"the universal solvent"—
provides the solvent
medium. This is also true in
daily life. Coffee, tea, soft
drinks, and even water itself
(since it seldom appears in
pure form) are solutions,
but the meaning of the term
is not limited to solutions
involving water. Indeed,
solutions do not have to be
liquid; they can be gaseous
or solid as well. One of the
most important solutions in
the world, in fact, is the air
we breathe, a combination
of nitrogen, oxygen, noble
gases, carbon dioxide, and
water vapor. Nonetheless,
aqueous or water-based
substances are the focal
point of study where
solutions are concerned,
and reactions that take
place in an aqueous
solution provide an
important area of study
Process Questions:
1. Why are solutions
important?
2. What part of the article
supports your claim?
3.Why do you say it
supports your claim?
Answer:
Solutions are important
because people use
solutions in everyday lives
and is important for
sustainability of life

Why Is Solubility Important
to Human Life? Solutions
and the dissolution process
itself are of great
importance in nature, in our
life, science, and
technology. Water from
seas, rivers, ethanol, lakes,
groundwater, and drinking
water is the solution. Air is
a carbon dioxide solution.
Solutions are used in
industry: textile,
metalworking,
pharmaceuticals, plastics,
synthetic fibers, soap, etc.
Solubility - What Is It?
Solubility is the ability of a
substance to dissolve in
one or another solvent.
Solutions are called
homogeneous
multicomponent systems of
variable composition. A
solution always contains a
solvent and a solute. A
solvent is a component of a
solution, which is in the
same state of aggregation
as the solution, and
quantitatively prevails. In a
solution of salt in water, the
solvent is water. In medical
alcohol, alcohol is a
solvent, and water is a
solute. The hydrogen
atoms are a universal
solvent for many
substances. Good solvents
are alcohol, acetone,
gasoline, others.

Importance Of Solution To
The Food Scientist Solution
is very important in the
study of foods and human
nutrition. Only substances
which can be dissolved can
be assimilated. Many
substances which will not
dissolve in pure water will
dissolve in water which
contains something else in
solution. The blood is water
containing many things in
solution. The salts of the
blood keep the other food
elements in solution, many
of which would not dissolve
if the blood did not contain
these salts. The chief work
of the digestive juices is to
reduce foods to a soluble
form so that they can be
taken into the circulation by
absorption; otherwise they
would pass through the
alimentary canal practically
unchanged. Chemical
meaning of solution. We
must learn to distinguish
carefully between chemical
solution and merely mixing
things with water. A good
example is milk. In addition
to water, milk contains
principally fat, sugar, and
casein. The sugar is truly
dissolved in the water. The
fat and the casein are fine
particles held in
suspension. If the milk
stands for a while, the fat
particles rise to the top as
cream. If it stands long
enough, the casein
particles adhere to each
other and settle to the
bottom, leaving the water
with the dissolved sugar or
whey in the middle.
Relation of solution to
assimilation. Milk as an
example of both "Solution"
and mixture.
