5. Why does saliva production in the mouth decrease demineralization?

Chemistry
1 answer:
andreev551 [17]2 years ago
7 0
Saliva's buffering capacity and flow of secretion are directly related to the rate and extent of demineralization. ... Saliva can act as a replenishing source and inhibit tooth demineralization during periods of low pH, while promoting tooth remineralization when the pH returns to a neutral state.

Calculate the molarity of the two solutions.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

A = Molarity = 0.22 M

B = Molarity = 0.36 M

Explanation:

Given data:

For first solution:

number of moles = 0.550 mol

Volume of solution = 2.50 L

Molarity = ?

Molarity:

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L.

Molarity = 0.550 mol / 2.50 L

Molarity = 0.22 M

For second solution:

Mass of NaCl =  15.7 g

Volume of solution = 709 mL  or 709/1000 = 0.709 L

Molarity = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 14.7 g/ 58.44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.252 mol

Molarity:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L.

Molarity = 0.252 mol / 0.709 L

Molarity = 0.36 M

Which mineral group is composed of compounds that contain atoms of sulfur and one or more metals?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The answer to your questions is: C. Sulfides

Explanation:

A. Phosphates  these compounds do not have sulphur, they are composed by phosphate and oxygen, So this answer is wrong.

B. Sulfates  are formed by sulphur and oxygen, not for a metal, then this is not the right answer.

C. Sulfides  are molecules formed by a metal and sulphur, this is the anwser to the question.

D. Silicates are formed by sillicon and oxygen, this option is incorrect.

What system of units is used by only a small number of countries in the world, including the U.S.?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is the imperial system.

Explanation:

Only three countries in the world, that is, the United States, Myanmar, and Liberia use the imperial system. These include measurements in the form of inches, ounces, Fahrenheit, and feet. In the imperial system, the distances, height, weight, or area measurements are used eventually that traced back to everyday items or parts of the body.  

In comparison to other metric systems, the units used in the imperial system are not further differentiated easily into parts of hundreds or thousands, and are thus, regarded of less use in comparison to other metric systems by some. The real follower of the imperial system at present in the world is the United States.

A gas occupies 3.5L at 2.5 kPa pressure. What is the volume at 100 mmHg at the same temperature? Be sure to
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.656 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 3.5 L

Initial pressure = 2.5 KPa

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 100 mmHg (100/7.501=13.33 KPa)

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

2.5 KPa × 3.5 L = 13.33 KPa × V₂

V₂ = 8.75 KPa. L/13.33 KPa

V₂ = 0.656 L
