Bacteria in the human mouth release enzymes to break up sucrose, and then polymerize glucose to form a bacterial plaque. When th

is glucose is digested, it forms lactic acid, which causes tooth decay. Tooth enamel is made of calcium phosphate. Lactic acid has a Ka 1.38x10-4 and ionizes into lactate and H3O+ ions. Assuming an initial lactic acid concentration of 0.10 mol/L on your tooth, determine the pH (assume a 1:1:1 mole ratio) and the percent ionization. Should people be concerned with plaque buildup? Justify your answer.

Yes, people should be concerned because plaque buildup might cause your breath to smell bad, or cause your teeth to look very yellow, consider brushing your teeth and using mouth wash daily and don’t drink or eat unhealthy foods that will cause your teeth to look bad. plaque buildup might also cause damage to the stomach and maybe affect when you have to use the restroom.

Which property is characteristic of ionic but not of covalent compounds? 1. low boiling point 2. non-conductor of electricity in
otez555 [7]
Ionic and covalent bonds are both strong intermolecular forces. They are generally both crystalline in structure. But relatively speaking, ionic bonds are much stronger. As a consequence, they have inherent properties of higher boiling points, higher melting points, lower volatility, etc. Also, ionic bonds display conductive properties because they are strong electrolytes. <em>Thus, the answer is 5) higher melting points.</em>

(6 points) Calculate the maximum number of moles and grams of H2S that can form when 158 g of aluminum sulfide reacts with 131 g
Schach [20]

Answer:107.1 g, 124.1 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

Al2S3(s) + 6H20(l) ----> 2Al(OH)3(s) + 3H2S(g)

Hence;

For Al2S3

Number of moles= reacting mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 158g/150gmol-1 =1.05 moles

If 1 mole of Al2S3 yields 3 moles of H2S

1.05 moles of Al2S will yield

1.05 × 3/1 = 3.15 moles

Mass of H2S = 3.15moles × 34 gmol-1 = 107.1 g

For water

Number of moles of water = 131g/18gmol-1= 7.3 moles

6 moles of water yields 3 moles of H2S

7.3 moles of water will yield 7.3 × 3/6 = 3.65 moles of H2S

3.65 moles × 34 gmol-1 =124.1 g

A geologist studies layered rock to determine its age. Bacteria fossils from the Precambrian age are found in the rock’s upper l
kondor19780726 [428]
Answer:
The bottom layers of the rock could have formed before life occurred.

Explanation:
The bottom layers of the rock could have formed before life occurred because there is no fossil is present. If there is life at that time so the fossils are present at the bottom layer so the absence indicates that is no life present at that time. The bottom layer is older than the upper layer so that's why fossils of bacteria are found in the upper layer of the rock.

Answer:
C. Because bacterial fossils are found only in the upper layers, scientists can conclude that these bacteria evolved towards the end of Precambrian time.

There’s two different types of answers for this question so I just put both of them. Hope it helps : )
