You mean like mixing citric acid which is usually obtained from a fungus and sodium bicarbonate? That reaction creates CO2 gas the carbonate part of sodium bicarbonate. That leaves only the sodium after it bonds to the citrate ion which leaves extra H2O behind which is just water. That? But you could do all sorts of other reactions to get the sodium to come off something else.
Oh that’s relatively harmless. Sodium coming from salt as a metal or thru a precipitation reaction, and citrate is something derived from a fungus.
Yep! I have a container of it to make otherwise non-melting cheeses melt smoothly.
It’s also the main electrolyte ingredient in a few electrolyte drinks.
But what are electrolytes?
Here’s the Wikipedia article on them: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/Electrolyte
For simplicity’s sake, they are salts, acid, or bases that can suspend themselves in a polar liquid, like water, and can conduct electricity.
They help maintain the body’s ability to hydrate, and are critical in maintaining nerve and muscle functions, since they are electric tissues.
Was trying to do the idiocracy thing
Thats not how chemistry works.
