What is the similarity between teeth and eggshells?

Chemistry

trasher [3.6K]3 years ago

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.

Suppose that a sample of gas occupies 187 mL
drek231 [11]

Answer:

V2 = 90.7 mL

Explanation:

pressure and volume are inversely proportional, if the pressure is increased, the volume will decrease. In an isothermal process:

p1V1 = p2V2

V2 = p1V1/p2 = (277 torr×187 mL)/571 torr

V2 = 90.7 mL

You have 4 moles of a gas in a 50 L container held at 2 atm pressure. Currently the temperature is 27 ºC. R = 0.0821 L*atm/(mol*
Mariulka [41]
The formula used for determining gas pressure, volume and temperature interaction would be PV=nRT. 

<span>• What is the temperature in Kelvins?
</span>You already right at this part. Kelvin temperature formula from celsius should be:
K= C+273.15= 
<span>K= 27 +273.15 = 300.15 
It is important to remember that the formula in this question is using Kelvin unit at temperature, not Celcius or Fahrenheit.
</span>
<span>• Assuming that everything else remains constant, what will happen to the pressure if the temperature decreases to -15 ºC?
</span>In this case, the temperature is decreased from 27C into -15C and you asked the change in the pressure.
Using PV=nRT formula, you can derive that the temperature will be directly related to pressure. If the temperature decreased, the pressure will be decreased too. 

<span> If you increase the number of moles to 6 moles, increase temperature to 400K and reduce the volume to 25 L, what will the new pressure be?
</span>PV=nRT
P= nRT/V
P= 6 moles* <span>0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) * 400K/25L= 7.8816 atm</span>

8. How much heat is released when 85.0 g of steam condense to liquid water?
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

199920J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of steam  = 85g

Unknown:

Heat released when the liquid is condensed  = ?

Solution:

The heat released by the substance is given as;

         H  = mL

H is the heat released

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of steam  = 2352J/g

Heat released  = 85 x 2352  = 199920J

During translation, the new polypeptides are often directed to specific parts of the cell by the presence or absence of short se
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The correct option is b. an amino-terminal signal

Explanation:

A polypeptide that will eventually fold to become an ion channel protein, it means a kind of integral membrane protein, has an amino terminal signal that indicates its delivery to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and then to the membrane. This type of signal usually consist in a nucleus of 6 to 12 aminoacids and one or more basic aminoacids. Once the polypeptide enters the ER, this signal is removed.
