Sodium Fluorium Case Study

How can Sodium Fluoride Ion solve the issue “cavity” In this essay, I will explore about how sodium fluoride ion can be addressed to one of the most common health issues in the world “cavity” by investigating the properties of sodium fluoride ion and how those properties of sodium fluoride ion are related to addressing this issue. Sodium Fluoride ion is an ionized combustion of non-metal atom Fluorine and alkaline metal sodium as you can notice from its name, and its scientific equation is NaF. In nature a singular fluorine cannot be easily found, according to “How does the fluoride in toothpaste prevent cavities? Is there any kind of 'natural' fluoride protection or is it only in artificial compounds?” by “SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN” “Fluorine, the 13th most abundant element in the earth's crust, is never encountered in its free …show more content…

It exists only in combination with other elements as a fluoride compound.” (Scientific American, 2013) which means Sodium Fluoride is possible to be made from nature not only made in an artificial way. Because of rocks under the ground always touch with water many of sodium fluoride found in nature is already ionized. And Sodium Fluoride ion is toxic to the human body if you take it too much. According to “Sodium fluoride (NaF) causes toxic effects on splenic development in mice” by “Pin Kuang” ”Other studies have also shown the fluoride-caused cytotoxicity, apoptosis and DNA damage in human” (Kuang, 2017) which means fluoride is toxic for a human being. This polyatomic ion is commonly used for protecting teeth from cavity because it can react with the ingredient of teeth enamel “hydroxyapatite” and makes tooth enamel stronger so that teeth can get higher acid resistance. There are also other usages of Sodium Fluoride Ion, for example, because of its toxicity it is used to make rat poison. So sodium fluoride ion is an ionized

    The goal of this experiment was to isolate three different molecules (acidic, basic, and neutral) from a mixture and identify their molecular structure. This was accomplished by using acid/base liquid extraction and H NMR analysis. The neutral component of the unknown mixture #191 was fluorenone. This was evident due to an H NMR spectra that had a high presence of hydrogen signals in the 7.2- 7.7 ppm range. Chemical shift values for fluorenone stated in the lab manual were 7.27, 7.47, 7.48, and 7.6 (CITE), indicating that the corresponding H NMR spectra for the neutral unknown is of this chemical.

    According to the website I read “ putting fluoride in the water decreased the number of cavities in children.” Fluoride is actually in water and foods already. When cities add fluoride to the water not only are the adults all getting the same amount of fluoride in one glass of water but the children get the same amount as the adults. The adults might drink more water than the children but per glass of water it is distributed evenly.

  • Marble Chips Lab Report

    The aim of the experiment was to test different types of soft drink on calcium carbonate marble chips, which were used in place of human teeth, and record what percentage of the marble chips dissolved when it was left in the soft drink overnight. These results will show which of the five soft drinks tested was the most harmful, and the ingredients will be examined to explain why the particular soft drink was the most detrimental to human teeth. Human teeth are covered in a hard substance called tooth enamel, which is made of hydroxyapatite. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body and is vital in protecting teeth from decay (Callison, 2018). Enamel erosion occurs when acids wear away at the teeth and can result in painful temperature sensitivity, discolouration, cracks and chips, and indentations appearing on the teeth, and will result in cavities (Smith, 2013).
