Answer to Problem 108A

Lithium carbonate is used to treat bipolar disorder by communicating with a brain cell to balance the emotions and mood swing

Explanation of Solution

Lithium carbonate contains lithium cation Li+ and polyatomic carbonate anions CO32 .

The formula of lithium carbonate is Li2CO3 .

The compound is neutral in nature.

Bipolar disorder patients exhibit impulsive behavior or exceptional risk-taking.

Lithium may aid in the treatment of bipolar depression and helps lessen the severity and frequency of mania, the raised, euphoric end of the mood spectrum.

Lithium may help feel less suicidal if previously been at risk. Additionally, lithium aids in preventing future manic and depressive episodes.

Lithium carbonate enhances brain cell communication to help balance mood and emotions.
