A student went to the dentist and found out that he had a cavity. He always brushes his teeth twice a day, so he didn't understa

nd how he got a cavity. The dentist told him that drinking things every day that are acidic, such as lemonade, can contribute to cavities. He didn't drink lemonade but does drink a variety of other drinks.
The next day he brought in a sample of each drink and asked his science teacher to borrow a pH probe to test each liquid. The pH of Drink A is 11.9, Drink B is 7.0, Drink C is 5.3, Drink D is 9.8, Drink E is 2.4. Explain which drink(s) the student should avoid if he wants to protect his teeth from further damage.



In your response, be sure to include:

1. an explanation of what pH measures

2. which drinks are acidic, basic, and neutral.

Answer:

The drinks that the student should avoid - if he wants to avoid damage to his teeth - are drinks C and E, since they are acidic, according to their pH.

Explanation:

pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, taking into account the amount of hydrogen ions present in it, and established on a scale that goes from 0 to 14.

In chemistry, pH is derived from the formula that indicates:

<em>pH = - Log₁₀ αH⁺</em> , where α is the activity of hydrogen ions.

A solution with a pH of 7 is considered neutral, above this value it is an acidic solution and below this value it is called acidic.

According to this:

  • <em>Acidic drinks are:  drink C (5.3) and E (2.4).</em>
  • <em>The basic drinks are: drink A (11.9) and drink D (9.8).</em>
  • <em>The neutral drink is the drink B (7), which corresponds to water.</em>

Calculation of the number of grams of salt and water of 10 grams of eye drops, if the weight of the salt in the solution is 0,25
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Let the mass of salt be x

Let the mass of solution be 10 g

Percentage by mass of salt = 0,25%

So;

Percent concentration of salt = mass of salt/mass of solution * 100

0.25 = x/10 * 100

0.25 * 10/100 = x

x= 0.025 g of salt

Let the mass of water be y

Since mass of solution = mass of salt + mass of water

10 g = 0.025 g + y

y = 10 g - 0.025 g

y = 9.975 g

What is the difference between a renewable and non-renewable source of energy? Give 3 examples of each.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

There are two major categories of energy: renewable and non-renewable.

Non-renewable energy resources are available in limited supplies, usually because they take a long time to replenish. The advantage of these non-renewable resources is that power plants that use them are able to produce more power on demand. The non-renewable energy resources are:

  • Coal

  • Nuclear

  • Oil

  • Natural gas

Renewable resources, on the other hand, replenish themselves. The five major renewable energy resources are:

  • Solar

  • Wind

  • Water, also called hydro

  • Biomass, or organic material from plants and animals

  • Geothermal, which is naturally occurring heat from the earth

While renewable energy resources have the advantage of unlimited supply over the long haul, they are limited in their availability at any given moment.

For example, the sun rises each day, but its ability to generate power is limited when its cloudy. Another disadvantage is that power plant operators can’t crank up renewable energy production when people are consuming more power, such as on a hot day when many people are running air conditioners at the same time.

Compare and contrast the bonds in these two compounds: MgCl2 and C2H6. Include similarities and differences. Be sure to discuss
devlian [24]
Both of the compounds contain primary bonding; however, the bonding is of different types. Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) contains ionic bonds, which are stronger and involve the complete transfer of electrons. Meanwhile, ethane (C₂H₆) also bonds by electron transfer but the electrons are not completely transferred from one atom to another. Instead, they are shared, forming what is known as a covalent bond.
