What exactly is blood pressure and what are the risks if you have high blood pressure? Im curious?
Q. I went to an eye appointment the other day, and they took my blood pressuure. They said that it was a bit higher then normal, and honestly im scared. What is high blood pressure and what does it cause? Also, are there ways to help lower blood pressure?

A. High blood pressure is when your blood vessels (the tubes that carry blood around your body) are slightly narrower for some reason causing pressure inside them. It could be due to cholesterol (which is like plaque that builds up in your blood vessels). A high calorie diet with inadequate exercise could cause cholesterol build up. Very high blood pressure due to very high cholesterol levels can lead to heart attack and stroke if not dealth with. However, some people's blood pressure has times when it goes high for a little while. Maybe you should get them to check your cholesterol level. Then they will be able to tell you whether or not it is due to something serious or not.

What does pressure mean in chemistry? - please help i need few answers to understand?
Q. ok soe i have few ?'s please help 1. What does pressure mean when they say standard pressure? what does it mean? what does the word "pressure" mean in chemical reaction or in atmospheric pressure? 2. Also how does pressure affect enthalpy. When something is at constan pressure, what does that mean? 3. What is entropy and what exactly does it mean?

A. standard pressure is technically 101.3kPa or 1 atmosphrere.. this would mean the pressure you are feeling right now..- basically pressure-in terms of gases- can be changed. think of it like this,, in an unopened bottle of coke, there is a lot of pressure, since its hard to squeeze,, but once you open the cap,, the pressure is decreased adn its easier to squeeze... --enthalpy is basically heat --entropy is like the "randomness" of the system...a gas will have greater entropy than a solid... also natural reactions tend to form products wtih greater entropy and lower enthalpy (this previous statement, might not be true).. --look up more in your text book

How can you test a well water pressure tank to see if it is working correctly?
Q. I have basically no water except for a trickle. Is there any way I can test my pressure tank to see if it is working properly before I replace it. I have replaced pressure switch and submersible pump this year. Pressure tank is about 20 years old and I have never had any trouble out of it. It appears to have about 50 lbs. of pressure when checked with new tire gauge. Is there any way to see if it is working before I replace it? Please help.

A. to correctly check your pressure tank you must first turn off the breaker/power to well . Drain the tank by using the closet drain to the pressure tank. We install a water bib on the tank tee for this reason. Once you have drained all water wiggle tank and see if it still has water in it. If it is heavy with water your bladder has developed a pinhole and the tank needs replaced. If bladder is good all water will leave tank. NEXT using an airgauge check air in tank , it should be @ 28 lbs if your pressure switch is set to come on at 30lbs . NEVER should they have 50lbs of air! If you have a gauge on your tank tee and it is working correctly which they do fail fairly easy . You can find your cut in pressure by turning on power and… [cont.]
