The mouth

Amongst the most vital areas to protect are the neck, face and mouth. Though keeping a set of tiger whites will be most people’s primary concern the gum and mouth guards of today also help reduce the risk of concussions and tongue injuries resulting from impacts to the jaw. The most common mouth guards available are “boil and bite” types. These are heated in order to be moulded around the user’s teeth and then form a more resistant solid on cooling. Their main component is poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) or PEVA, made from the polymerisation of ethene with vinyl acetate.

A balloon contains 11.1 g of nitrogen monoxide gas (NO). how many molecules are in the balloon?
grandymaker [24]

The number of molecules that are in balloon are = 2.227 x10^23 molecules

<h3> calculation</h3>

calculate the number of moles of NO

moles = mass/molar mass

molar mass  of NO = 14+ 16 = 30 g/mol

moles is therefore=  11.1 g/30g/mol= 0.37 moles

by use of Avogadro's constant that is

                                     1 mole= 6.02 x10^23  molecules

                                          0.37 =? molecules

=(6.02 x10^23 x  0.37 moles)/ 1mole=2.227 x10^23 molecules

[please answer fast!] If the hydroxide ion concentration is 2x10^-3 M, what is the pH of the solution? Show your working.
Verizon [17]

Answer:

pH = 11.30

Explanation:

pH is defined as -log [H⁺]

To find [H⁺] from [OH⁻] -Concentration of hydroxide ion-, we must use the equilibrium of water:

H₂O(l) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Keq = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [H⁺] [OH⁻]

[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / [OH⁻]

[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2x10⁻³M

[H⁺] = 5x10⁻¹²M

pH = -log (5x10⁻¹²M)

<h3>pH = 11.30</h3>
