Some scientists suspect that overexposure to ultraviolet light, including excessive sunlight, may play a role in the formation of acquired moles. However, more research is needed in this area. Genes can also have an influence on a person's moles. Dysplastic nevi or atypical mole syndrome is a hereditary condition which causes the person to have a large quantity of moles (often 100 or more) with some larger than normal or atypical. This often leads to a higher risk of melanoma, a serious skin cancer. A slight majority of melanomas do not form in an existing mole but rather create a new growth on the skin. Nevertheless, those with more dysplastic nevi are at a higher risk of this type of melanoma occurrence. Such persons need to be checked regularly for any changes in their moles and to note any new ones. See the Wikipedia article listed under "related links."

Can sharing razors cause moles to appear?

Interesting enough, a recent study in 2009, at the University of Chicago indicated that many different kinds of moles contain a family of virus that can spread by way of physical contact. Replication of the virus and the resulting moles often develop in the new host subjects. The worst of the problem is that these types of moles often create virulent cancerous cells that metastasize very quickly. Now, can we deduce that sharing razors causes moles? Maybe. Even worse, it may be that sharing razors causes cancer.


What are the potential causes and treatment options for dog moles on the face?

Potential causes of dog moles on the face can include genetics, exposure to sunlight, and age. Treatment options may include monitoring for changes, surgical removal, or cryotherapy. It is important to consult with a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.

If a chemist has 1.87 moles of Na2O and causes it to decompose into its constituent elements how many moles of Na will form?

When sodium oxide (Na₂O) decomposes, it breaks down into its constituent elements: sodium (Na) and oxygen (O). The balanced chemical equation for the decomposition is 2 Na₂O → 4 Na + O₂. From this equation, 1 mole of Na₂O produces 2 moles of Na. Therefore, if a chemist has 1.87 moles of Na₂O, it will produce 1.87 moles × 2 = 3.74 moles of Na.

Will putting diatomaceous earth in mole tunnels in my lawn cause the moles to bleed to death?

no, its finely crushed shells that act like glass and scratch through insects exoskeleton causes them to dehydrate and die. moles feed on grubs and DE can be used to control those pests. get rid of the grubs and the moles will go elsewhere.

What is the mole ratio that can convert from moles of a to moles of b?

The mole ratio to convert from moles of a to moles of b is determined by the coefficients of a and b in the balanced chemical equation. For example, if the balanced equation is 2A + 3B -> 4C, the mole ratio would be 3 moles of B for every 2 moles of A.
