Hydroxyapatite, Ca₅(PO₄)₃(OH), is the main mineral component of dental enamel, dentin, and bone. Coating the compound on metalli

c implants (such as titanium alloys and stainless steels) helps the body accept the implant. When placed in bone voids, the powder encourages natural bone to grow into the void. Hydroxyapatite is prepared by adding aqueous phosphoric acid to a dilute slurry of calcium hydroxide. (b) What mass (g) of hydroxyapatite could form from 100. g of 85% phosphoric acid and 100. g of calcium hydroxide?

The equation of the reaction is:

         5Ca(OH)₂ + 3H₃PO₄ ---> Ca₅(PO₄)₃(OH) + 9H₂O.

Based on the data provided, the mass of hydroxyapatite formed is  135.62 g.

<h3>What is hydroxyapatite ?</h3>

Calcium apatite has the chemical formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH), however it is most commonly written Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 to indicate that the crystal unit cell consists of two entities. Hydroxyapatite, also known as hydroxylapatite (HA), is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite. The complex apatite group's hydroxyl endmember is called hydroxyapatite. Fluorapatite or chlorapatite can be created by substituting fluoride, chloride, or carbonate for the OH ion. It forms a hexagonal crystal structure when it crystallizes. Powdered hydroxyapatite is completely white. Apatites that are found in nature can also exhibit colorations that resemble dental fluorosis, such as brown, yellow, or green.

Human bone contains up to 50% by volume and 70% by weight of bone mineral, a modified form of hydroxyapatite.

The gas left in a used aerosol can is at a pressure of 103 kPa at 25.0 °C. If the can heats up to 50.0 °C, what is the pressure
Anton [14]
The question mentions a change in temperature from 25 to 50 °C. With that, the aim of the question is to determine the change in volume based on that change in temperature. Therefore this question is based on Gay- Lussac's Gas Law which notes that an increase in temperature, causes an increase in pressure since the two are directly proportional (once volume remains constant). Thus Gay-Lussac's Equation can be used to solve for the answer.
Boyle's Equation:     \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }    =   \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }
Since the initial temperature (T₁) is 25 C, the final temperature is 50 C (T₂) and the initial pressure (P₁) is 103 kPa, then we can substitute these into the equation to find the final pressure (P₂).
                      \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }    =   \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }∴ by substituting the known values,                 ⇒       (103 kPa) ÷ (25 °C)  =  (P₂) ÷ (50 °C)
                 ⇒                                  P₂  =  (4.12 kPa · °C) (50 °C)
                                                            =  206 kPa 
Thus the pressure of the gas since the temperature was raised from 25 °C to 50 °C is 206 kPa

VLD [36.1K]
Chemical reaction (dissociation) 1: C₂O₄H₂(aq) ⇄ C₂O₄H⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Chemical reaction (dissociation) 2: C₂O₄H⁻(aq) ⇄ C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
c(C₂O₄H⁻) = c(H⁺) = x.
c(C₂O₄H₂) = 0.0269 M.
pKa₁ = 1.23.
Ka₁ = 10∧(-1.23) = 0.059.
Ka₁ = c(C₂O₄H⁻) · c(H⁺) / c(C₂O₄H₂).
0.059 = x² / (0.0269 M - x).
Solve quadratic eqaution: x = c(H⁺) = 0.02 M.
pH = -log(0.02 M) = 1.7.

In a certain chemical reaction, 2 solid Mg atoms bond with O2 gas to produce solid
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Option B. 2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> 2MgO (s)

Explanation:

From the question given above,

We were told that:

2 solid Mg atoms bond with O2 gas to produce solid MgO.

This can be represented by an equation as follow:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> MgO (s)

Next, we shall balance the above equation as follow:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> MgO (s)

There are 2 atoms of Mg on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of MgO as shown below:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> 2MgO (s)

Now, the equation is balanced.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(a) The anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Cathodic reaction is: O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-} ⇒ 4OH^{-}

Anodic reaction is: Zn ⇒Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}

Explanation:

In the given problem, we have an oxygen-concentration cell consisting of two zinc electrodes. One is immersed in a water solution with a low oxygen concentration and the other in a water solution with a high oxygen concentration. The zinc electrodes are connected by an external copper wire.

(a) Which electrode will corrode?

The electrode that will corrode is the anode electrode which comprises the zinc electrode being placed in a water solution with low oxygen concentration.

(b) Write half-cell reactions for the anodic reaction and the cathodic reaction.

Cathodic reaction is: O_{2} + 2H_{2}O + 4e^{-} ⇒ 4OH^{-}

Anodic reaction is: Zn ⇒Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-}
