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

1 answer:

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.

How many molecules of Ca are found in a sample with 0.2 mols?

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

$\boxed{1.2 \times 10^{23}\text{ atoms}}$

Explanation:

6.023 × 10²³ atoms of Ca are in 1 mol of Ca

$\text{No. of atoms} = \text{0.2 mol} \times \dfrac{6.023 \times 10^{23}\text{atoms }}{\text{1 mol }} = \mathbf{1.2 \times 10^{23}} \textbf{ atoms}}\\\\\text{There are }\boxed{\mathbf{1.2 \times 10^{23}} \textbf{ atoms}} \text{ atoms in 0.20 mol of Ca}$

Assuming equal concentrations, arrange these solutions by pH.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Highest pH(most basic)

Sr(OH)2(aq)

KOH (aq)

NH3(aq)

HF (aq)

HClO4(aq)

Lowest pH(most acidic)

Explanation:

The concentration of H+ ion will determine the pH of a solution. The pH actually reflects the ratio of H+ ion and OH- since both of them can combine into water. Solution with more H+ ion will have a lower pH and called acidic, while more OH- will have high pH and be called basic. Strong acid/base will be ionized more than weak acid/base.

Sr(OH)2(aq) = strong base, release 2 OH- ion per mole

KOH (aq) = Strong base, release 1 OH- per mole

NH3(aq) = weak base, release less than 1 OH- per mole

HF (aq) =strong acid, release 1 H+ per mole

HClO4(aq) = stronger acid, release 1 H+ per mole
