### salt:

Arsenate
* Most arsenates are heavy, and none are hard.
* are chemical compounds
  - salts of arsenic acid
* is salt
+ Arsenic, Properties, Chemical compounds: Semimetals :: Chemical elements
  * Arsenate' is an ion. Arsenates are salts of arsenic acid. They are oxidizing agents. Sometimes, not all of the protons are taken away from the arsenic acid and then hydrogen arsenate salts are formed. Arsenate can replace phosphate in the cells but it does not work like phosphate does. The cell dies, and that is why arsenates are toxic. Some bacteria can use arsenate instead of phosphate, though.

Bicarbonate
* Most bicarbonate neutralizes acid.
* Some bicarbonate is secreted by pancreases
  - lowers urinary excretion
  - promotes excretion
* Some bicarbonate reduces calcium excretion
* cause chlorosis, margin burning of leaves, and poor growth.
* dissolves in water.
* is carbonate

### salt | bicarbonate:

Potassium bicarbonate
* Some potassium bicarbonate reduces excretion
  - nitrogen excretion
* Some potassium bicarbonate reduces urinary excretion
* is an additive in fire extinguishers
  - used in the production of soft drinks
* reduces urinary nitrogen excretion in postmenopausal women.

### salt:

Bile salt
* Some bile salt helps carbohydrates
  - is synthesized in livers
* aid in emulsifying and absorbing fats in the intestine.
* are amphipatic and have a detergent action on fat
  - cholesterol derivatives, principally cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid
  - in turn absorbed in the ileum and are recycled by the liver and gall bladder
  - the major component
* break up fat, and bilirubin gives bile and stool a brownish color.
* cause fat globules to break up.
* convert carotene.
* enhance the absorption properties of the fatty acids and certain fat-soluble vitamins.
* form micelles, with the polar groups facing outward.
* help to emulsify fats which aids the pancreas with digestion
  - keep cholesterol in solution in the bile
* induce or blunt cell proliferation in barrett's esophagus in an acid-dependent fashion.
* inhibit many kinds of bacteria, especially gram positives
  - non-enteric bacteria
* stimulate the secretion of water by the large intestine to help move the contents along.
* surround fats to form micelles that can pass into the epithelial cells.

Bismuth salt
* All bismuth salts form insoluble compounds when put into water.
* have broad spectrum anti-biotic properties.

### salt:

Borate
* are a environment sensitive product that has an unlimited residual
  - derivatives of the mineral boron
  - environmentally safe, odorless and used in homes with children and pets
* are highly effective as a pesticide
  - toxic to wood boring insects and fungi
  - used as environmentally benign wood preservatives
* have a long history of stopping insects and preventing decay.
* kill immature fleas by contaminating their food supply.
* protect wood against wood decay fungi and have long been used in wood preservation.
* treated wood is unchanged in color also protects from wood eating insects and most fungi.
* use a unique approach for the control of wood boring beetles.

Borosilicate
* are a diverse and widely used class of glasses
  - silicates
* lead free glass for bulbs.

Calcium salt
* Most calcium salt interferes with absorption
  - salts are colorless
* Some calcium salts are readily absorbable and are used in the body.
* are always bad news in water
  - important in the building of bones and the coagulation of blood
  - used to produce orange in fireworks
* denser product than sodium salt, because of sodium's hydrophilic nature.
* form the bulk of the inorganic material in bone.
* seed onto the outer shell membrane fibres.
