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.

How many molecules are in 20.2 moles of CO₂?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

1.22 x 10²⁵ molecules CO₂

Explanation:

To find the amount of molecules, you need to multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's Number. Avogadro's Number is a ratio which represents the amount of molecules per every 1 mole. It is important to arrange this ratio in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (since you are going from moles to molecules, moles should be in the denominator). The final answer should have 3 sig figs like the given value.

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

 20.2 moles CO₂           6.022 x 10²³ molecules
---------------------------  x  --------------------------------------  = 1.22 x 10²⁵ molecules
                                                     1 mole

A sample of a uranium compound is found to be losing mass gradually. Explain what is happening to the sample.
irina [24]

Explanation:

Uranium have an unstable nuclei , hence it  is a radioactive element , and radioactive element can undergo radioactive decay like the alpha decay , beta decay .

Radioactive decay is a spontaneous breakdown of the atomic nucleus which , results in the release of energy along with radioactive particles , like alpha , beta , gamma etc .

Hence ,

The mass is lost from a sample of uranium .

This question deals with waste disposal in the Solutions and Spectroscopy experiment. What should be done to waste solutions con
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

b. It should be dumped in a beaker labeled "waste copper" on one's bench during the experiment.

d. It should be disposed of in the bottle for waste copper ion when work is completed.

Explanation:

Solutions containing copper ion should never be disposed of by dumping them in a sink or in common trash cans, because this will cause pollution in rivers, lakes and seas, being a contaminating agent to both human beings and animals. They should be placed in appropriate compatible containers that can be hermetically sealed. The sealed containers must be labeled with the name and class of hazardous substance they contain and the date they were generated.

It never should be returned to the bottle containing the solution, since it can contaminate the solution of the bottle.

In the Solutions and Spectroscopy experiments there is always wastes.
