What is the similarity between teeth and eggshells?

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.

Pb(SO4)2 + 4 LiNO3 → Pb(NO3)4 + 2 Li2SO4
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

4.5 moles of lithium sulfate are produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of lead sulfate = 2.25 mol

Number of moles of lithium nitrate = 9.62 mol

Number of moles of lithium sulfate = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Pb(SO₄)₂ + 4LiNO₃      →     Pb(NO₃)₄ + 2Li₂SO₄

Now we will compare the moles of lithium sulfate with lead sulfate and lithium nitrate.

                       Pb(SO₄)₂        :         Li₂SO₄

                            1                :             2

                          2.25           :          2/1×2.25 = 4.5 mol

                       LiNO₃            :             Li₂SO₄

                           4                :                2

                           9.62           :             2/4×9.62 = 4.81 mol

Pb(SO₄)₂  produces less number of moles of Li₂SO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant and limit the yield of  Li₂SO₄.
