Answer:

Mass of NaF in 250 g tube of toothpaste = 100 mg of NaF

Explanation:

Mass of fluoride per gram of toothpaste = 1 mg

From the given data, the fluoride compound that is most often used in toothpaste is sodium fluoride, NaF, which is 45% fluoride by mass, mass of sodium fluoride per gram of toothpaste can be determined as follows:

1 mg of fluoride per gram of toothpaste = 45% total mass of NaF per gram of toothpaste

100% mass of NaF in toothpaste = 100/45 * 1 mg = 2.22 mg of NaF.

Therefore, mass of NaF per gram of toothpaste is 2.22 mg.

The mass of NaF in 250 g of toothpaste is then calculated below:

In 250 g of toothpaste, mass of NaF = 250 * 2.22 mg = 99.9 mg of NaF

Explanation:

Water can be purified from through...

Filtration - This involves the use of filter paper to remove solid objects found in water.

Boiling - This involves keeping water at 100 deg celcius for a while through application of heat and this kills microorganisms in the water.

Addition of alum - Alum causes very fine and small particles that are suspending in water to stick together making them large enough to be removed through filtration.

Chemicals used in water treatment...

Chlorine - Chlorine is used to kill bacteria, viruses and other disease causing pathogens found in water

What do you think would happen to reef dwellers (e.g., coral, parrot fish, sea cucumbers) if the algae were not able to photosyn
Dafna1 [17]
Photosynthesis is the process wherein energy from sunlight is used to catalyze the reaction converting carbon dioxide and water to glucose. If the algae were deprived of the capability to photosynthesize then they will not be able to derive the energy from the sun into usable energy in the form of glucose and eventually will lead to death of the algae. Algae, being in the bottom of the food chain, is the primary source of food, therefore energy (in the form of sugars) of reef dwellers. Cellular respiration is the process where energy stored in sugars such as glucose is converted into usable energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate and waste products such as carbon dioxide and water is produced. Without the source of energy (algae), the reef dwellers will eventually starve and die.
