Because this acid dissolves the enamel on the tooth creating holes or cavities
Percentage composition of a compound is a ratio of an amount of each element to the total amount of individual elements in a compound, which is then multiplied with 100.
A nucleus is in the center of an atom and protons and neutrons are found inside there
Tectonic plates are key to the rock cycle as their motions result in processes that are important to the rock cycle, therefore they play a major role in the rock cycle
Those Hydrogen atoms which are present at alpha position to carbonyl group are mildly acidic in nature. When such acidic proton containing carbonyl compounds are treated with strong base, they yield enolates. The negative charge created on alpha carbon resonates and shifts to carbonyl oxygen resulting in formation of carbon double bond carbon.
In <span>tert−butyl methyl ketone there are two carbons at each alpha position. Among these two carbons only methyl carbon contains hydrogen atoms while the second one is bonded to further three carbons making it Quaternary carbon. The base abstracts proton from methyl group and enolate is formed.
</span>tert−butyl methyl ketone in this case acts as acid, Hydroxyl ion acts as base, while the enolate generated is the conjugate base of <span>tert−butyl methyl ketone and Water produced is the conjugate acid of hydroxide ion.</span>
