Natrium 11Na22.989


1807 von Sir Humphry Davy in London, UK, dargestellt.

[Lateinisch, natrium; Englisch, soda]

French: sodium
English: sodium
Italian: sodio
Spanish: sodio


Beschreibung: Weiches, silberweißes Metall. das an Schnittflächen schnell oxidiert. Reagiert heftig mit Wasser. Es wird in großen Mengen hergestellt und als Metall in Wärmetauschern von Kernreaktoren eingesetzt. NaCl ist ein Schlüsselprodukt für doe chemische Industrie, verwendet zur Herstellung von Cl2, NaOH usw.

Biological data

 

Biological role: Essential to most species including humans.
Toxicity
Toxic intake: chloride, oral, human = 12 g kg-1
Lethal intake: LD50 (chloride, oral, rat) = 3000 mg kg-1
Hazards: Sodium compounds are not hazardous insofar as their sodium content is concerned, but excess sodium chloride can be toxic by ingestion. A daily intake in excess of the necessary 2-3g is not advisable for those people suffering heart disease.
Level in humans
Blood: 1970 mg dm-3
Bone: 10 000 ppm
Liver: 2000 - 4000 ppm
Muscle: 2600 - 7800 ppm
Daily dietary intake: 2 - 15 g 
Total mass of element in average
[70 kg] person:

100 g
