What is the similarity between teeth and eggshells?

2 answers:

6 0

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.

1.04 ⨯ 10 $^{-4}$ M

<h3>Explanation</h3>

<em>A</em> = <em>ε</em> $\cdot l \cdot c$ by the Beer-Lambert law, where

<em>A</em> the absorbance,
$l$ the path length,
<em>ε</em> the molar absorptivity of the solute, and
$c$ concentration of the solution.

<em>A</em> and <em>ε </em>are the same for both solutions. Therefore, $l \cdot c$ is constant; $l$ is inversely proportional to $c$ . The 100 mL sample would have a concentration 1/4.78 times that of the 45.0 mL reference.

The 13.0 mL standard solution has a concentration of 5.17 ⨯ $10^{-4}$ M. Diluting it to 45.0 mL results in a concentration of $5.17 \times 10^{-4} \times \frac{13.0}{45.0} =$ 1.494 M.

$c$ is inversely related to $l$ for the two solutions. As a result, c₂ = $c_1 \cdot \frac{l_1}{l_2} = 1.494 \times 10^{-4} \times \frac{1}{4.78} =$ 3.126 M.

The 30.0 mL sample has to be diluted by 30.0 / 100.0 times to produce the 100.0 mL solution being tested. The 100.0 mL solution has a concentration of 3.126 M. Therefore, the 30.0 mL solution has a concentration of $3.126 \times \frac{100.0}{30.0} =$ 1.04 ⨯ $10^{-4}$ M.

The total concentration of ions in a 0.75 M solution of HCl is

EastWind [94]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The total concentration of ions in a 0.75 M solution of HCl is 1.5 M

That is; 0.75 M H⁺ and 0.75 M Cl⁻

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concentration or molarity is the number of moles of a compound or an ion contained in one liter of solution. It is measured in moles per liter (M).
The concentration of ions making a compound is determined by the ratio of moles of the compound and the constituents ions.

For instance, HCl dissociates to give H⁺ and Cl⁻

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Therefore, since the mole ratio between HCl and the constituent ions H⁺ and Cl⁻ is 1:1, then 0.75 M of HCl dissociates to give 0.75 M H⁺ and 0.75 m Cl⁻

Hence the total concentration of ions in a 0.75 M solution of HCl is 1.5 M (0.75 M H⁺ and 0.75 M Cl⁻)

A galvanic cell consists of a Cu(s)|Cu2+(aq) half-cell and a Cd(s)|Cd2+(aq) half-cell connected by a salt bridge. Oxidation occu

Kryger [21]

Answer:

$Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)$

Explanation:

A galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs.

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

As it is given that cadmium acts as anode, it must be on the left hand side and copper must be on right hand side.

$Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)$
