Chapter 11.2, Problem 11.4SC
You Decide A Lifetime of Food
During your lifetime, it has been claimed that you will eat about 700 times your adult body weight. Is this statement in the ballpark? Do a calculation to find out. State your assumptions clearly.
Hint: You might assume a life span of 78 years and that your present weight is your adult weight. Estimate the weight of food eaten daily at present, and use these data to project your lifetime food consumption.

The Covid-19 pandemic has many experts commenting on the science associated with the virus - origins, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, masks, social distancing. It is important to consider what the experts say, but to also evaluate their statements. We will start with the scientific method.
I want you to outline the scientific method from what you have been taught in previous classes. You can list steps, parts, process, short descriptions, whatever. If not taught in previous classes, then you will make your best guess about it.
HOW DO YOU USE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE? PROVIDE A SCENARIO OR SITUATION.
Calculations are based off of my data table. I'm not sure how to answer the questions.
1.Based on the results of your experiment, do you have hard or soft water? Does this match the data for your area? Briefly explain your answer.
2.How much calcium would you ingest by drinking one 8 oz glass of your tap water? Show all calculations.
3.What percentage of the recommended daily dose of calcium (1,150 mg/day) does 1.0 L of your water provide? Show all calculations.
4. A complexometric titration can also be used to determine the amount of calcium in milk. The calcium concentration in milk is typically 1,200 mg/L. How would you alter the procedure used in this experiment to determine milk’s calcium content?

- Like anatomy and physiology, chemistry may be a somewhat scary subject for you. Think of it this way: Chemistry is simply the study of matter, its composition, structure, properties, and the changes matter may undergo. Your goal in training as a cosmetologist is not to become a scientist, but to develop a comfort level with the basics and an ability to discuss chemistry in relation to your profession. This will increase your credibility significantly with your clients, especially during the consultation process. In the space provided, write how chemistry affects your everyday life.arrow_forwardThe recommended daily dose of calcium for an 18-year-old male is 1200 mg.
