Why is sodium saccharin used in thoothpaste?

You have to put sweetener in commercially-made toothpaste if you want people to buy it - unsweetened toothpaste is a rather unpleasant thing to deal with at 6 am. Sodium saccharin is used because it won't cause tooth decay.


What can I use fluorine for?

If you happen to be building a rocket, you can use it as fuel. You might also use it in your toothpaste if you were a toothpaste manufacturer. Also, if you want a big fire, just put fluorine on it, it works like oxygen (caution: putting fluorine on a fire may result in injury or death).


Toothpaste is a bitter substance and turns litmus paper blue What type of substance is it?

Toothpaste is enriched with fluoride to help prevent tooth decay. Fluoride ions are anions, meaning they have a negative charge. (Take a look at where fluoride falls on the periodic table -- fluoride ions want to gain an electron to be more stable, thus they tend to form ions with a -1 charge.)Substances with negative charges are basic, while those with positive charges are acidic.


How can you use toothpaste to show that red cabbage is an indicator?

If you blend red cabbage with water (the best ratio for this is 1:2, one cabbage leaf for two cups of water) and then add toothpaste the mixture will turn green. This indicates that toothpaste is a base. If you add vinegar instead the solution will turn red, indicating an acid.


Can fluoride be injected by intravenous injection?

That would be a bad thing. Fluoride is a hardener, that comes from an industrial by-product. For the same reason that you shouldn't swallow toothpaste with fluoride, you would want it to be injected. It has been shown to cause hardening of the arteries and other problems. Good to rinse your teeth with, but not really good for the rest of you.
