Effects of high salt on structure of arteries: Eating too much salt may lead to high blood pressure which can damage the arteries leading to the brain. Over time, the damage may become so severe that arteries burst or are completely clogged leading to artherosclerosis.

Effects of high cholesterol: Hypercholesterolemia which is a result of high blood cholesterol causes LDL cholesterols to build up in the arteries, clogging them and Making them less flexible. Blood flow is impaired through the stiff arteries, resulting in artherosclerosis.

Effects of smoking: Too much smoking results in acute increase in arterial stiffness. Smoking increases the formation of plaque in blood vessels. Chemicals in cigarettes smoke cause the blood to thicken and form clots inside arteries. This results in construction (tightening) of blood vessels in the skin, resulting in a drop in skin temperature.

Na2SO4 * xH2O, the hydrated salt is overheated and the anhydrous salt thermally decompose, one product being a gas; will the reported value of "x" be too high, too low on the unaffected? explain

Na2SO4*xH2O = (dehydratation) = Na2SO4 + xH2O.x = n(H2O)/n(Na2SO4*xH2O), where n(H2O) and n(Na2SO4*xH2O) the number of moles of the water and of the hydrated salt respectively.The sodium sulfate exists mostly...
