Question

Make a written report with examples of how equilibrium applies to everyday life.

Throughout this unit you were looking at two or three examples of how equilibrium applies to
everyday life. You were asked:
Identify how Le Chatelier's principle would impact these examples.
• Create the relevant equilibrium expressions for the examples.
• Should any of the examples be a buffer system, identify it as such.
You are now to research the relationship between dental cavities (also known as dental caries)
and the use of fluoridated toothpaste and water (hint: it's about equilibrium).
Using one of the examples that you have been working on throughout the unit and your
understanding of the relationship between dental cavities and the use of fluoridated toothpaste
and water, create an artifact of your choosing to demonstrate what you have learned about
systems in equilibrium and their application to everyday life.
