Toothpaste Lab
This lab experiment goal is to prove and hypothesizes which toothpaste actually cleans the teeth better, and how fast on the scale it moves towards closest to white. The topic for me is really relevant since I personally should be taking care of my teeth one of the main reason because I have braces, therefor I have to clean my braces often. This experiment briefly bring an idea and awareness to the people. They should know what kind of toothpaste they should buy when it comes to their teeth and how their teeth are. In the article of “What Kind Of Toothpaste Should You Use?” it gives you an option of which toothpaste you should be thinking to buy to take care of your teeth's. For instance it states that if you have yellow teeth it recommends you to use Rembrandt or ultra rite “Whitening toothpastes contain mild abrasives that help polish teeth and prevent the buildup of additional …show more content…
Cooper says. That film is plaque, and it interacts with certain foods—mostly sugars—to produce acids that eat away at your tooth’s enamel, which results in tiny holes (cavities), she says...The solution? The mineral fluoride, which the ADA refers to as nature’s cavity fighter”. The article goes on giving recommendations about which toothpaste for a certain scenario and/or situation you should be looking for. This is interesting because we don't only see one certain toothpaste that works for all of the dental issues someone can have. There are some that me personally I have never heard but actually turns out to be better than the ones you see on TV. For instance like Rembrandt or ultra rite if you have yellow teeth they recommend this but in the TV you see how Colgate, crest etc… state that they are the good ones at their

    Toothpastes contain fluoride which is one of the major factors in reducing dental decay and it has been used in toothpastes for almost fifty years. Toothpastes work by promoting a chemicals reaction is tooth enamel- which is the outer white visible layer made up of a calcium based mineral called hydroxyapatite- that brings in replacement minerals including calcium. According to Alexis Roberts-Mclntosh, “Fluoride incorporates itself into enamel weakened by acid attack, making it more resistant to future acid attacks.” All toothpastes vary with ingredients but most will contain the following; Abrasives, Detergents, Humectants, Perspectives, and Flavoring and coloring…

    The purpose of the Density Lab was to determine the identity of four unknown solids and two unknown liquids by calculating their densities and comparing them to a density chart, taking into account error analysis and finally classifying the substances. In order to calculate this density, we first found the mass of the container that was to be holding the substances. We then found the volume of the substance, and lastly determined the mass of the container and substance. We subtracted (Container + Substance) – Container to find the mass of simply the substance. In order to distinguish density, we took the final mass divided by the volume, and identified the substances based on Density Charts we found online. Originally we hypothesized that we would be able to identify these substances based on the densities we calculated, yet this proved to be harder than it seemed, however our hypothesis was correct. We now could concluded the densities and identification. The density of Unknown Liquid 1 was 1.26 which was found to be Colorless Glycerin (also density of 1.26) and Unknown Liquid 2 was 0.88 or Rubbing Alcohol (colorless). Unknown Solid 1 has a density of 7.20 or Iron, Solid 2 is 2.59 and Aluminum, Solid 3 is 5.47 and Tin, while Solid 4 has a density of 9.81and Nickel? We…

    In this lab the testing of whether or not a substance was an acid or a base occurred. Each substance was tested with the indicators red litmus paper, blue litmus paper, pH paper, phenolthalein, bromthymol blue, and phenol red. While the substances were tested the group noticed that the substances tested with the red and blue litmus paper, the phenolthatein, bronthmol blue were the easiest to interpret. The color changes that occurred when this indicator was put into a substance made it really obvious whether or not the substance was an acid or a base. Especially, the magenta color that the phenolthalein turned in the presence of a base really made the substance easy to interpret.…
