The argon found in Earth's atmosphere is 99.6% 40 Ar; whereas the argon in the Sun – and presumably in the primordial material that condensed into the planets – is mostly 36 Ar, with less than 15% of 38 Ar. It follows that most of the terrestrial argon derives from potassium-40 that decayed into argon-40, which eventually escaped to the ...

The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The sodium–potassium pump a critical enzyme for regulating sodium and potassium levels in cells. Potassium is the main intracellular ion for all types of cells, while having a major role in maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance. [1] [2] Potassium is necessary for the function of all living cells and is thus present in all plant and ...
A banana contains naturally occurring radioactive material in the form of potassium-40.. Banana equivalent dose (BED) is an informal unit of measurement of ionizing radiation exposure, intended as a general educational example to compare a dose of radioactivity to the dose one is exposed to by eating one average-sized banana.

You'll need 1/2 pound of potatoes per person. So if you're making dinner for two, that's 1 pound of potatoes. But if you're cooking for a crowd, or say six people, that's three pounds of potatoes.
The current criteria, established in 1994, is "very outdated," Claudine Kavanaugh, director of the FDA's Human Food Program's Office of Nutrition and Food Labeling, said at the news conference.
