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.

Calculate the molar mass of each of the following:
Allushta [10]

Explanation:

Molar mass

The mass present in one mole of a specific species .

The molar mass of a compound , can easily be calculated as the sum of the all the individual atom multiplied by the number of total atoms .

(a) S₈

Molar mass of of the atoms are -

sulfur, S = 32 g/mol.

Molar mass of  S₈ = 8 * 32 g/mol.  = 256 g/mol.

(b) C₂H₁₂

Molar mass of of the atoms are -

Hydrogen , H = 1 g/mol

Carbon , C = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of C₂H₁₂ = ( 2 * 12 ) + (12 * 1 ) = 36 g /mol

(c) Sc₂(SO₄)₃

Molar mass of of the atoms are -

sulfur, S = 32 g/mol.

oxygen , O = 16 g/mol.

scandium , Sc = 45 g/mol.

Molar mass of Sc₂(SO₄)₃ = (2 * 45 ) + ( 3 *32 ) + ( 12 * 16 ) = 378 g /mol  

(d) CH₃COCH₃ (acetone)

Molar mass of of the atoms are -

Carbon , C = 12 g/mol

oxygen , O = 16 g/mol.

Hydrogen , H = 1 g/mol

Molar mass of CH₃COCH₃ (acetone) = (3 * 12 ) + ( 1 * 16 ) + ( 6 * 1 ) = 58g/mol

(e) C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose)

Molar mass of of the atoms are -

Carbon , C = 12 g/mol

oxygen , O = 16 g/mol.

Hydrogen , H = 1 g/mol

Molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) = ( 6 * 12 ) + ( 12 * 1 ) + ( 6 * 16 ) = 108g/mol.
