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.

Ph measures how acidic or basic something is. The lower the number the more acidic it is going to be.

Drink A is basic, he can drink that

Drink B is neutral, he can drink that

Drink C is acidic, he should avoid

Drink D is basic, he can drink that

Drink E is acidic, he should avoid

What is a catalyst?
Andrew [12]

A catalyst is a substance added to the reaction that lowers the activation energy by providing an alternate pathway for the reactions to go to completion.

A catalyst is a substance that accelerates a chemical response, or lowers the temperature or strain needed to begin one, with out itself being ate up at some stage in the response. Catalysis is the procedure of adding a catalyst to facilitate a response.

Catalysts may be categorized as homogeneous, heterogeneous, or enzymatic. Homogeneous catalysts exist inside the identical phase as the reactants, whereas heterogeneous catalysts exist in a exclusive section than the reactants.

Catalysts are basically categorised into 4 kinds.Homogeneous, Heterogeneous, Heterogenized homogeneous catalyst and Biocatalysts. Homogeneous catalyst: In homogeneous catalysis, reaction mixture and catalyst both are gift inside the equal segment.

(a) Calculate the mass of CaCl2·6H2O needed to prepare 0.125 m CaCl2(aq) by using 500. g of water. (b) What mass of NiSO4·6H2O m
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

(a) 13.7 g.

(b) 28.91 g.

Explanation:

  • molality (m) is the no. of moles of solute dissolved in 1.0 kg of solvent.

∴ m = (no. of moles of solute)/(mass of water (kg))

<em>∴ m = (mass/molar mass of solute)/(mass of water (kg)).</em>

<em />

<u><em>(a) Calculate the mass of CaCl₂·6H₂O needed to prepare 0.125 m CaCl₂(aq) by using 500. g of water.</em></u>

∵ m = (mass/molar mass of CaCl₂·6H₂O)/(mass of water (kg)).

m = 0.125 m, molar mass of CaCl₂·6H₂O = 219.0757 g/mol, mass of water = 500.0 g = 0.5 kg.

∴ 0.125 m = (mass of CaCl₂·6H₂O / 219.0757 g/mol)/(0.5 kg).

∴ mass of CaCl₂·6H₂O = (0.125 m)(219.0757 g/mol)(0.5 kg) = 13.7 g.

<u><em>(b) What mass of NiSO₄·6H₂O must be dissolved in 500. g of water to produce 0.22 m NiSO₄(aq)?</em></u>

∵ m = (mass/molar mass of NiSO₄·6H₂O)/(mass of water (kg)).

m = 0.22 m, molar mass of NiSO₄·6H₂O = 262.84 g/mol, mass of water = 500.0 g = 0.5 kg.

∴ 0.125 m = (mass of NiSO₄·6H₂O / 262.84 g/mol)/(0.5 kg).

∴ mass of NiSO₄·6H₂O = (0.22 m)(262.84 g/mol)(0.5 kg) = 28.91 g.

Where does the formation of rocks began
bekas [8.4K]

Hi!

All rocks are connected in a cycle of creation, change, and destruction called the Rock Cycle. The rock cycle begins with molten rock (magma below ground, lava above ground), which cools and hardens to form igneous rock.


Hope this helps!

If 12.1 kilograms of al2o3(s), 60.4 kilograms of naoh(l), and 60.4 kilograms of hf(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cr
Fynjy0 [20]
Answer is: 7,826 kg of cryolite.
Chemical reaction: Al₂O₃ + 6NaOH + 12HF → 2Na₃AlF₆ + 9H₂<span>O.
m(</span>Al₂O₃) = 12,1 kg = 12100 g.
n(Al₂O₃) = m(Al₂O₃) ÷ M(Al₂O₃).
n(Al₂O₃) = 12100 g ÷ 101,96 g/mol = 111,86 mol; limiting reactant.
m(NaOH) = 60,4 kg = 60400 g.
n(NaOH) = 60400 g ÷ 40 g/mol.
n(NaOH) = 1510 mol.
m(HF) = 60,4 kg = 60400 g.
n(HF) = 60400 g ÷ 20 g/mol = 3020 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(Al₂O₃) : n(Na₃AlF₆) = 6 : 2.
n(Na₃AlF₆) = 2 ·111,86 mol ÷ 6 = 37,28 mol.
m(Na₃AlF₆) = 37,28 mol · 209,94 g/mol.
m(Na₃AlF₆) = 7826,56 g = 7,826 kg.
