Calcium ions are required for a lot functions in our body. First of all, it is required for proper mineralization of bones & teeth. Calcium is an important factor for blood coagulation which helps to prevent bleeding when a blood vessel is damaged. It helps in transmission of nerve signal by releasing neurotransmiter from nerve endings. An increase in intracellular calcium concentration is required for muscle contraction, it also helps in secretory activity of diffent gland like secretion of insulin from pancreas.

How many ions of calcium present in 40 grams of calcium carbonate?
9.03x10 23 ions
What is the symbol for the ions in calcium sulphide?
The chemical formula of calcium sulfide is CaS; the ions are Ca2+ and S2-.
What ions are present in what ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride?
The ions are: Ca2+ and Cl-; the ratio chloride ions/calcium ions is 2.
Do calcium ions react with sulphuric acid?
Yes. Calcium ions will react with sulfuric acid to produce solid calcium sulfate, which settles to the bottom of the container.
What is the formula of the ionic compound that forms between calcium ions and phosphate ions?
Calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2.
How does vitamin D have effect calcium?
The protein channels responsible for the uptake of calcium ions from the lumen of the intestine into the bloodstream is calmodulin. VitaminD is required for action of calmodulin.
How many calcium ions in one mole?
A mole of calcium has 6.022 X 1023 calcium ions.
What are the ions like in calcium bromide?
Calcium ions have a charge of plus two, and bromine ions have a charge of minus one.
Is calcium chloride a sulfite?
No, calcium chloride is CaCl2 containing calcium ions (Ca2+) and chloride ions (Cl-). A sulfite must contain sulfite ions (SO32-)
In what ratio do calcium and hydroxide ions combine?
One Calcium ion to 2 hydroxide ions.
How many ions of calcium present in 40 grams of calcium carbonate?
9.03x10 23 ions
How many calcium ions are needed to balance the charge of one chloride ion?
The calcium ion is doubly positively charged (Ca2+) while the chloride ion is singly negatively charged (Cl-). Two chloride ions are required to balance one calcium ion in the ionic compound calcium chloride. Therefore its chemical formula is CaCl2.
What is the symbol for the ions in calcium sulphide?
The chemical formula of calcium sulfide is CaS; the ions are Ca2+ and S2-.
What ions are present in what ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride?
The ions are: Ca2+ and Cl-; the ratio chloride ions/calcium ions is 2.
What are the ions for calcium fluoride?
The individual ions for calcium fluoride have the formulas Ca+2 and F-1 respectively. That means that in any sample of calcium fluoride, there must be twice as many of the fluoride ions.
Normally stored in the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
One major function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum is the regulate the intracellular levels of CA2+ for contractions and relaxation for muscles. Sarcoplasmic Reticulum is a storage organelle with calcium ion pumps on membrane and use ATP to fuel pumps to get calcium ion inside it's cell and holds it. When contraction of muscle is needed calcium ion is then dumped into cytoplasm to cause contraction.
Do calcium ions react with sulphuric acid?
Yes. Calcium ions will react with sulfuric acid to produce solid calcium sulfate, which settles to the bottom of the container.
