Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Mandy asks…

Why are molecules more soluble in diethyl ether than in water?

Does it react with the molecules? (suppose that the molecules are glucose, p-toluidine, benzoic acid, and 2-naphthol)
Is diethyl ether polar?

weight loss cardiff answers:

There is a simple rule that is easy to remember and follow…”like dissolves like”. What it means is that solvents which possess certain physical characteristics will dissolve solutes that possess similar physical characteristics. At it’s most general meaning, orgainc solvents will dissolve organic compounds. That being said, all the compounds you listed will dissolve in diethyl ether. HOWEVER, not all of the compounds you listed are MORE soluble in diethyl ether than water. Glucose, for one, is actually more soluble in water than it is in ether. The reason is because water is more polar than ether and can hydrogen bond with water more freely than with ether since water has both hydrogen bond donor and acceptor atoms. Similarly, the more ‘hydrocarbon-like’ a solute is (with 2-napthol being the most hydrocarbon-like compound of the ones listed), the more soluble it will be in less polar solvents.

Hope this helps!!!

George asks…

What mass ( g ) of the solvent tetrahydrofuran should be combined with 0.6713 L of the solute diethyl ether to?

What mass ( g ) of the solvent tetrahydrofuran should be combined with 0.6713 L of the solute diethyl ether to produce a solution that is 1.45 m diethyl ether.

weight loss cardiff answers:

_____molality is moles of solute / kg solvent

here THF is the solvent and Et2) is the solute

moles solute = 671.3 ml * d Et2O g/ml / MW Et2O g/mole = ?? Moles Et2O

1.45m = 1.45 moles / kg = ?? Mole / x kg of solvent

x g of solvent = 1000 g/kg * ?? Mole Et2O /1.45 mole/kg = ?? G THF

Plug missing info and SOLVE

Basic mathematics is a prerequisite to chemistry – I just try to help you with the methodology of solving the problem.

Sandra asks…

What are the effects of Diethyl ether on you?

Can anyone tell me the effects of Diethyl Ether when you sniff it?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Diethyl ether is a colourless, extremely volatile liquid with a characteristic smell. It is used as am anaesthetic, although it is not an ideal anaesthetic. It is safer than chloroform and more effective than nitrous oxide. Unwanted effects of exposure to ether can include a cough, sore throat, painful red eyes, a headache, drowsiness, laboured breathing and nausea. Vomiting is quite common.

But some people like its sub-anaesthetic effects on consciousness when you sniff it; it has “abuse potential”.

Daniel asks…

Can anyone share their Zumba weight loss success stories?

If I watch the Zumba 45 minute youtube videos, will I still lose weight?
My goal is to lose 10 pounds by July.

How many days a week should I do the 45 minute Zumba workouts at home?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hey, I am currently doing Zumba. At the beggining of the program, I was big and had fatness lumps, so I looked terrible in my favorite t-shirts.But , as I did the Zumba 10 day weight loss, which is described as a schedule in the manual, my stomach would shrink and flatten.
Currently, I weight 10 pounds less, and My stomach is firm. And so far I have done the 10 day workout , and the starters week in Zumba. This is a little amazing to me, but I probably only lost weight because I tried my hardest, and did the meal plan.

But, my sister tried it out ,shes 11 years old, and has lost only 4 pounds. She did the same work outs with me, but, she doesn’t follow the meal plan, and she didn’t put as much effort as me. But, she lost her fatness lump, looks slim, and eats healthier. She says that that is good enough for her.

If you are getting Zumba too, do your best and do the Zumba 10 Day weight Loss plan until you feel good enough, and do then do the regular excersises for the rest of the time, or quit.

Betty asks…

Any weight loss success stories to share?

Tell about your weight loss story, what worked for you. Anyone use Weight Watcher’s????

weight loss cardiff answers:

I never used weight watchers but recently I noticed that I lost a lot of weight…and its just like what everyone else says…good diet and excercise. But I didnt excercise that much…and I didnt eat that much either, I just cut down on the bread (especially bread), and most grains..and I just ate veggies, meat, and occasional junk. I used to be on this diet where I had to follow a very strange menu…so i thought I would give it a try. The first day you can only eat fruits. That was very hard!!! Everytime I would eat, I would get hungry again. The second day was only veggies. That was a little better because I could eat baked potatoe, french fries, and cooked veggies. The third day was both fruits and veggies…well I quit the second day anyway so theres no point in following this menu….its very hard and NOT for everyone. Anyway, now I am healthy and I weigh a good weight of 105. So basically I just stayed away from bread and rice the whole time! 🙂

Im told i weigh more a night than i do during the morning is that true?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Don’t eat and find out.

Donna asks…

What’s the most weight I can lose in 3 days, and how?

Hi,
I NEED to lose weight in the next 3 days, preferably about 5 lbs.
What’s the most weight I can lose, and how?!
Be reasonable, too!
Please help!

Thanks! 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

Intensity is the answer. If you have every watch the biggest loser you will know 5 pounds in 3 days is easy.

Just reduce your calorie intake and jog or walk quickly every day. You can even dress warm while jogging to sweat off a ton of water weight.

Eating disorders are bad, but reducing your calorie intake is pretty healthy. One of the big secrets to slowing the aging process is to have a low calorie diet.

Eat fruits etc. And avoid high protein foods. Once your body consumes the calories from the food you eat, it will use energy by consuming fat stores. This is a good thing.

Mark asks…

how much weight can i lose 3 days into water fast?

i want to begin my water fast today, but how much will i lose in 3 days? i’m aiming for 30 days. also, the internet said that while water fasting that i shouldn’t exercise, which will be hard for me due to the fact that i’m very active and have been trying to lose weight lately. will this work? or should i just stick to eating healthy and exercising like i already do? please help! thanks 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

Any diet that includes the word “fast” is a recipe for disaster. You should eat 5-6 small meals spread throughout the day while exercising 3-4 times per week at a respectable intensity. Any crash diet or fast will result in weight gain in the long run.

George asks…

what is the best way to lose weight, free?

okay… well i am over weight for my age. i hate it! i need to lose pounds quickly, easily, and FREE because i only make $20 a week. please give me some links or help or how you did it.
eating less doesnt work. i tried. also fallen angel, you have the best answer! also i absolutely love spicy food. thank you very much. i truly appreciate it.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing weight not only can be free but it can save you money too.
You gained weight because you ate too much, food cost money.
Now you have to eat less and therefore save on grocery shopping.

Eat less, therefore spend less.
Use your own body weight for exercising (lunges, squats, crunches, heel raises, push-ups), Your own body weight is free.

Weights cost about $1/pound but you can use water bottles, books or anything that weigh anything.

Go for a walk/jog outside, that is usually free too.

Get a physically demanding job so you get more than $20 a week and get fit in the process.

(Now, the “quickly, easily” part…does not work that way)

Ken asks…

I need a quick and FREE way for a 13 year old male to lose weight quickly and and easily.?

I weigh about 150 pounds but some of it is fat. i’m not very fat i just wanna build muscle and get rid of fat.

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you want to build muscle and lose fat, then you should focus on lifting weights, chin-ups, push ups. Eat more protein (like baked chicken and tuna fish) and cut way back on carbs and fats (like sugary stuff, or breads,noodles, fried measts, etc) Try adding exercise to your daily routine, like running or biking.

Laura asks…

How much weight would i loose in a week from free weights and using a rowing machine?

Now i am doing this healthy i aint starving myself to death or anything like that , but i have got a habit of checking the scales every day , which is bad i know because weight lost is easily weight gained.

1 hour a day on the rowing machine
20-30 minutes lifting free weights , 20kg i think.

fruit veg all added in etc…

weight loss cardiff answers:

It’s all about calories consumed versus calories burned. Don’t eat before bed.
