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 atoms are in 3.690 moles of oxygen
sweet [91]

1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number.  

So, 1 mole of O2= 6.023x10^23 molecules  

3 mole of O2= 6.023x10^23x3 molecules  

= 1.8069x10^24 molecules  

Each molecule of Oxygen has 2 atoms.  

therefore,  

1.8069x10^24 molecules= 1.8069x10^24 x 2 atoms  

= 3.6138x10^24 atoms.

The ka for hcn is 4.9 ⋅ 10-10. What is the value of kb for cn-?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

kb = 2,0x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The ka for HCN is:

HCN ⇄ H⁺ + CN⁻; ka = 4,9x10⁻¹⁰ <em>(1)</em>

The inverse reaction has an equilibrium constant of:

H⁺ + CN⁻ ⇄ HCN k = 1/4,9x10⁻¹⁰ = 2,0x10⁹ <em>(2)</em>

As the equilibrium of the water is:

H₂O ⇄ H⁺ + OH⁻; kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ <em>(3)</em>

The sum of (2) + (3) gives:

H₂O + CN⁻ ⇄ HCN + OH⁻; kb = kw×k = 1x10⁻¹⁴×2,0x10⁹ =

2,0x10⁻⁶; <em>kb = 2,0x10⁻⁵</em>

<em />

<em>-In fact, the general formula to convert from ka to kb is:</em>

<em>kb = kw / ka-</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!

What kind of chemical change do you think occurs when a banana peel turns brown in the open air?
Alisiya [41]
Rotting, and ageing. The banana peel ages faster in open air, and therefor begins to rot. Brow peels don't mean that the banana is rotted, however, it is a sign that it may begin to rot soon.

What is the meaning of cryosphere
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The part of the earth’s surface where, at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the water is frozen solid. Even a small pond while frozen over during the winter is part of the cryosphere, but cryosphere refers more often to large regions covered in snow and ice for much or all of the year, as the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, glaciers, icebergs, and expanses of permafrost, all of which are especially sensitive to global shifts in climate:
