We shall find the molar mass first.  
Ca5(PO4)3(OH) = (40 * 5) + 3 (31 + 4(16)) + 16 + 1 = 200 + 285 + 17 = 485 + 17 = 502. 
Percent of Calcium = 200/ 502 * 100 = 39.8%
 Percent of Phosphorus = 91/502 * 100 = 18.1%
 Percent of Hydrogen = 1/502 * 100 = 0.19%
 Percent of Oxygen = 100 - (39.8 + 18.1 + 0.19) = 41.91%

Tooth enamel is hydroxyapatite with the chemical formula Ca₅(Po₄)₃OH. The percent composition of the elements are:

Ca - 7.35%

Po - 92.02%

O - 0.59%

H - 0.04%

<u>FURTHER EXPLANATION</u>

Mass percent or percent composition is the ratio of an element's mass to the mass of the compound. It is mathematically expressed as:

mass \ \% \ of \ X = \frac{mass \ of X}{mass \ of \ compound} \times 100

To determine the percent composition of each element in tooth enamel, we first get the mass of the compound:

mass \ of \ compound \ = (5 \times 40.078) +(12 \times 209) + \ 15.999 +1.008\\\\\boxed {mass \ of \ compound = 2725.397 \ g}

To get the percentage composition, use the first equation and plug in the appropriate values:

  • %Ca

\% Ca= \frac{5 \times 40.078 \ u}{2725.397 u} \times 100\\\\\boxed {\% Ca= 7.35\%}

  • %Po

\% Po= \frac{12 \times 209 \ u}{2725.397 u} \times 100\\\\\boxed {\% Po=92.02\%}

  • %O

\% O= \frac{15.999\ u}{2725.397 u} \times 100\\\boxed {\% O=0.59\%}

  • %H

\% H= \frac{1.008\ u}{2725.397 u} \times 100\\\boxed {\% O=0.04\%}

The first five ionization energies of an element are as follows (in kJ/mol): 577.9, 1820, 2750, 11600, 14800. Which of the follo
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:option d==> Si.

Explanation:

The energy required to remove electron from a gaseous atom or ion is what is called an ionization energy. As we remove electrons continually in a gaseous atom or ion, the ionization energy increases which are know as the first ionization energy, the second ionization energy, third ionization energy and so on.

Looking at the electronic configuration of Silicon, Si; Ne 3s2 3p2. We can can see that the first four ionization energies are from the removal of the 3p2 and 3s2 electrons and the fifth ionization energy, which is the highest ionization energy of 14800 kJ/mol is the the electron removed from the core shell.

In a fixed cylinder are 3moles of oxygen gas at 300Kelvin and 1.25atm. What is the volume of the container?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The volume of the container is 59.112 L

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of moles of Oxygen, n = 3

Temperature of the gas, T = 300 K

Pressure of the gas, P = 1.25 atm

We need to find the volume of the container. For a gas, we know that,

PV = nRT

V is volume

R is gas constant, R =  0.0821 atm-L/mol-K

So,

V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{3\ mol\times 0.0821\ L-atm/mol-K \times 300\ K}{1.25\ atm}\\\\V=59.112\ L

So, the volume of the container is 59.112 L

Determinación de pH Expresa las siguientes concentraciones de [H+ ] en función del pH • [H+] = 0.001 M • [H+] = 0.002 M • [H+] =
Pavel [41]

Answer:

• pH = 3.0

• pH = 2.70

• pH = 3.61

• pH = 8.28

• pH = 1.40

Explanation:

El pH es una medida en química usada para determinar el grado de acidez o basicidad en una solución.

Se define como:

pH = -log₁₀ [H⁺]

<em>El - logaritmo de la concentración molar de H⁺</em>

<em />

Para las concentraciones de H⁺ dadas:

• [H+] = 0.001 M

pH = -log (0.001M) = 3

pH = 3.0

• [H+] = 0.002 M

pH = -log (0.002M)

pH = 2.70

• [H+] = 2.45X10-4 M

pH = -log (2.45X10-4 M )

pH = 3.61

• [H+] = 5.2X10-9 M

pH = -log (5.2X10-9 M)

pH = 8.28

• [H+] = 0.04 M

pH = -log (0.04M)

pH = 1.40

<u>Answer</u>: Conduction, convection, and radiation move energy from the Sun to Earth and throughout Earth.

Without more information about the experiment itself, I would choose the above answer as correct. All the other statements are correct, however none of them relates to the earth distribution processes on Earth. The last statement does.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

No.

Las propiedades físicas de los materiales y sistemas a menudo se pueden clasificar como intensivas o extensivas, según cómo cambia la propiedad cuando cambia el tamaño (o extensión) del sistema. Según la IUPAC, una cantidad intensiva es aquella cuya magnitud es independiente del tamaño del sistema, mientras que una cantidad extensiva es aquella cuya magnitud es aditiva para los subsistemas. Esto refleja las ideas matemáticas correspondientes de media y medida, respectivamente.

Una propiedad intensiva es una propiedad a granel, lo que significa que es una propiedad física local de un sistema que no depende del tamaño del sistema o de la cantidad de material en el sistema. Los ejemplos de propiedades intensivas incluyen temperatura, T; índice de refracción, n; densidad, ρ; y dureza de un objeto.

Por el contrario, propiedades extensivas como la masa, el volumen y la entropía de los sistemas son aditivas para los subsistemas porque aumentan y disminuyen a medida que crecen y se reducen, respectivamente.  

Estas dos categorías no son exhaustivas, ya que algunas propiedades, físicas no son exclusivamente intensivas ni extensivas. Por ejemplo, la impedancia eléctrica de dos subsistemas es aditiva cuando, y solo cuando, se combinan en serie; mientras que si se combinan en paralelo, la impedancia resultante es menor que la de cualquiera de los subsistemas.

¡Espero haberte ayudado!  :)
