What is the similarity between teeth and eggshells?

Chemistry

Eggshells have a similar chemical composition to our tooth enamel, making them react similarly with other chemicals. This can help us understand what stains tooth enamel. When we brush an eggshell with fluoridated toothpaste, it strengthens the shell and protects it from acid, just like it does for our tooth enamel.

Explanation:

Because they share a similar composition, similar chemicals affect their structures in positive or negative ways. For example, fluoride – a staple in many dental practices – strengthens both enamel and eggshells and helps protect them from acids. Acids weaken and break down both substances. Scientists find this particularly concerning given that the ocean is growing increasingly acidic. They fear this may weaken the eggs of some marine species and harm their chance of survival. Most dentists recommend limiting aggressively acidic foods and beverages such as soft drinks.

How many penicillin molecules would you have if you had a total of 36 hydrogen atoms? What would be the total atomic mass?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molecular formula of penicillin  = C₁₆ H₁₈ N₂ O₄S

No of hygrogen atoms = 36

No of molecules = 36 / 18 = 2

molecular weight = 334 amu

molecular weight of 2 molecules = 334 x 2 = 668 amu.

Does (ionic/metallic/covalent) bonds form strong or brittle chemicals? explain
NNADVOKAT [17]
These atomic properties help describe the macroscopic properties of compounds. For example, smaller covalent compounds that are held together by weaker bonds are frequently soft and malleable. ... Ionic compounds, though composed of strong bonding interactions, tend to form brittle crystalline lattices.

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 210 mol of hydrogen gas and 100 mol of oxygen gas.
sukhopar [10]
<span>The answer is 200 mol of water. The balanced reaction is 2(H2) + (O2) = 2(H2O) The limiting reactant is O2 as it will be completely consumed first, before hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas would need at least 105 mol oxygen gas to be consumed; in excess of the 100 mol O2. Looking at the stoichiometric coefficients, the ratio between water and oxygen is 2:1. Therefore, the water produced would be 200 moles.</span>

A sample of a certain material has a mass of 2.03 x 10-3 g. calculate the volume of the sample, given the density is 9.133 x 10-
Vsevolod [243]

Mass of a sample = M = 2.03 x 10-3 g

Density of a sample = D = 9.133 x 10-1 g/cm3

Volume of the sample = ?

By using the formula = D = M / V

V = M / D

Putting the values of density and mass of the sample

V = 0.00203/0.9133 = 0.0022cm3

V = 0.0022 cm3
