<span>Fluoride is the element that is added to city water supplies and toothpastes to prevent tooth decay. According to research, fluoride helps to prevent tooth decay as it can reduce cavities by 24% and by boosting the production of saliva. Saliva helps to protect the tooth enamel by providing high levels of calcium and phosphate ions to the surface of the tooth.</span>

Answer:

five half lives

Explanation:

Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

How many half lives it would take to reach 3.13% form 100% of it's initial concentration:

100% - 50% : First Half life

50% - 25%: Second Half life

25% - 12.5%: Third Half life

12.5% - 6.25%: Fourth Half life

6.25% - 3.125%: Fifth Half life

This means it would take five half lives to get to 3.125% (≈ 3.13%) of it's original concentration.

How many liters of 15.0 molar NaOH stock solution will be needed to make 17.5 liters of a 1.4 molar NaOH solution? Show the work

2.0 L
The key to any dilution calculation is the dilution factor

The dilution factor essentially tells you how concentrated the stock solution was compared with the diluted solution.

In your case, the dilution must take you from a concentrated hydrochloric acid solution of 18.5 M to a diluted solution of 1.5 M, so the dilution factor must be equal to

DF=18.5M1.5M=12.333

So, in order to decrease the concentration of the stock solution by a factor of 12.333, you must increase its volume by a factor of 12.333by adding water.

The volume of the stock solution needed for this dilution will be

DF=VdilutedVstock⇒Vstock=VdilutedDF

Plug in your values to find

Vstock=25.0 L12.333=2.0 L−−−−−

The answer is rounded to two sig figs, the number of significant figures you have for the concentration od the diluted solution.

So, to make 25.0 L of 1.5 M hydrochloric acid solution, take 2.0 L of 18.5 M hydrochloric acid solution and dilute it to a final volume of 25.0 L.

IMPORTANT NOTE! Do not forget that you must always add concentrated acid to water and not the other way around!

In this case, you're working with very concentrated hydrochloric acid, so it would be best to keep the stock solution and the water needed for the dilution in an ice bath before the dilution.

Also, it would be best to perform the dilution in several steps using smaller doses of stock solution. Don't forget to stir as you're adding the acid!

So, to dilute your solution, take several steps to add the concentrated acid solution to enough water to ensure that the final is as close to 25.0 L as possible. If you're still a couple of milliliters short of the target volume, finish the dilution by adding water.

Always remember

Water to concentrated acid →.NO!

Concentrated acid to water →.YES!
