Sodium and water retention aggravate the edema.

Sodium is a " water-holding " ion, so water is also retained, which leads to increased blood volume, hence an increase in blood pressure.

Sodium valproate is a common mood stabilizer

Sodium dichromate is sometimes used because of its higher solubility ( 50 g / L versus 200 g / L respectively ).

Sodium nitrite is added to meats to produce an appealing and fresh red color to the consumer.

Sodium hydroxide is a multi-million-ton per annum commodity chemical.

Sodium nitrite is used for the curing of meat because it prevents bacterial growth and, in a reaction with the meat's myoglobin, gives the product a desirable dark red color.

Sodium nitrate is used to remove air bubbles from molten glass and some ceramics.

* Sodium, a very common electrolyte ; not generally found in dietary supplements, despite being needed in large quantities, because the ion is very common in food: typically as sodium chloride, or common salt.

Sodium ( ) is a chemical element with symbol Na ( from ) and atomic number 11.

Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and exists in numerous minerals such as feldspars, sodalite and rock salt.

Sodium is an essential element for all animals and some plants.

Sodium at standard temperature and pressure is a soft metal that can be readily cut with a knife and is a good conductor of electricity.

Sodium is generally less reactive than potassium and more reactive than lithium.

Sodium metal is highly reducing, with the reduction of sodium ions requiring − 2. 71 volts but potassium and lithium have even more negative potentials.

Sodium is now produced commercially through the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride, based on a process patented in 1924.

Sodium is also used as an alloying metal, an anti-scaling agent, and as a reducing agent for metals when other materials are ineffective.

Sodium chloride is extensively used for anti-icing and de-icing and as a preservative ; sodium bicarbonate is mainly used for cooking.

Sodium hydride is used as a base for various reactions ( such as the aldol reaction ) in organic chemistry, and as a reducing agent in inorganic chemistry.

Sodium chloride is the principal source of sodium in the diet, and is used as seasoning and preservative, such as for pickling and jerky ; most of it comes from processed foods.

Sodium is also important in neuron function and osmoregulation between cells and the extracellular fluid, their distribution mediated in all animals by Na < sup >+</ sup >/ K < sup >+</ sup >- ATPase ; hence, sodium is the most prominent cation in extracellular fluid.

Sodium will also burn violently when heated in air.

* Sodium nitrate (" Peru saltpeter " or " Chile saltpeter "), a component of fertilizers, explosives and solid rocket propellants ; also a food preservative

* 1. Na3 ( Durkin Opening, also known as Durkin's Attack or the Sodium Attack )

Sodium fluoride ( NaF ) is the most common source of fluoride, but stannous fluoride ( SnF < sub > 2 </ sub >), olaflur ( an organic salt of fluoride ), and sodium monofluorophosphate ( Na < sub > 2 </ sub > PO < sub > 3 </ sub > F ) are also used.

Sodium bicarbonate can be substituted for baking powder provided sufficient acid reagent is also added to the recipe.

Sodium bicarbonate may also be useful in urinary alkalinization for the treatment of aspirin overdose and uric acid renal stones.

Sodium bicarbonate has also been used in the treatment of tricyclic antidepressant overdose.

Sodium bicarbonate is also used as an ingredient in some mouthwashes.

Sodium bicarbonate is also effective in removing heavy tea and coffee stains from cups when diluted with warm water.

Linocuts can also be achieved by the careful application of Sodium hydroxide in a paste to parts of the surface of the lino.

Sodium supplementation increased liveweight gain by around 30 % and also reproductive rates by around 30 %.

Sodium bentonite can also be " sandwiched " between synthetic materials to create geo-synthetic clay liners ( GCL ) for the aforementioned purposes.

Sodium permeability is also decreased.

Sodium methoxide, also called sodium methylate and sodium methanolate, is a white powder when pure.

They also contain 0. 8g of protein, 15. 4g of carbohydrates, 7. 1g of fat, 0. 5g of fibre, and 0. 2g of Sodium.

* Polystyrene Sulfonic Acid, also known as Sodium polystyrene sulfonate or poly ( styrenesulfonate )

Sodium and chloride ( salt ) reabsorption is also mediated by a group of kinases called WNK kinases.

The ASTRID ( Advanced Sodium Technical Reactor for Industrial Demonstration ) reactor, with a power generating capacity of 600 MW < sub > e </ sub >, is likely to succeed Phénix in its role as a French-built sodium-cooled fast reactor and is also part of the international Generation IV reactor programme.

Lundbeck also produces Nembutal Sodium Solution ( pentobarbital sodium injection, USP ), and holds the only license to manufacture pentobarbital in the United States.

Sodium hypochlorite ( commonly known as " bleach ") also shares these properties, but disproportionates to form harmless products such as sodium chloride.

This ' Soda Blasting ' makes a large cloud of dust that is pH Alkalai and its residue that permeates the wood and painted surfaces is also naturally antimicrobial as a result of the high pH and the presence of Sodium Bicarbonate.
