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.

2.25 g/ml at 700mmHg, 200 C. Find molar mass of gas.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Molar mass = 94972.745 g/mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Density = 2.25 g/ml

Pressure = 700 mmHg

Temperature = 200°C

Molar mass = ?

Solution:

Density = 2.25 g/ml (2.25×1000 = 2250 g/L)

Pressure = 700 mmHg (700/760 = 0.92 atm)

Temperature = 200°C (200+273 = 473K)

Formula:

d = PM/RT

M = dRT/P

M = 2250 g/L × 0.0821 atm.L /mol.K ×  473K / 0.92 atm

M = 87374.93 g/mol / 0.92

M = 94972.745 g/mol

Metals react with oxygen to give oxides with the general formula MxOy. What is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of
katovenus [111]

Answer: 4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as Fe^{3+} cation and oxide O^{2-} is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral Fe_2O_3.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

What is the mass in grams of 85.32 mL of blood plasma with a density of 1.03 g/mL
sveticcg [70]
<span>Well if you're looking for grams, all you need to do is cancel out units. (ml)(g/ml)=g because the ml cancels out. Thus, multiply: (85.32ml)(1.03g/ml)=...I'll let you solve this. :) Good luck! Hope that helped. When in doubt, look at the units.</span>

pressure has little effect on the solubility of liquids and solids because they are almost incompressible. True or False
slavikrds [6]

Pressure has little effect on the solubility of liquids and solids because they are almost incompressible True.

Liquids and solids show little change in solubility with changes in pressure. As expected, gases increase in solubility with increasing pressure. Henry's Law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the surface of the solution.

External pressure has little effect on liquid and solid solubility. In contrast, the solubility of a gas increases as the partial pressure of the gas above the solution increases.

Solubility is a measure of the concentration of dissolved gas particles in a liquid and is a function of gas pressure. Increasing the gas pressure increases the number of collisions and increases the solubility, and decreasing the pressure decreases the solubility.
