5. Explain why both diet and regular soft drinks can damage the enamel on the surface of teeth.

2 answers:

7 0

Diet sodas and other sugar-free drinks are usually highly acidic, which weakens the enamel on your teeth and makes them more susceptible to cavities and dental erosion. The level of phosphoric acid, citric acid, and/or tartaric acid is usually high in sugar-free drinks so it's best to avoid them

When you drink soda, the sugars it contains interact with bacteria in your mouth to form acid. This acid attacks your teeth. Both regular and sugar-free sodas also contain their own acids, and these attack the teeth too. With each swig of soda, you're starting a damaging reaction that lasts for about 20 minutes.

Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and your knowledge of ionization to help you answer this question. Aspirin is a weak acid

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The protonated form is predominant when aspirin is absorbed more readily. The ratio of conjugate base to acid is 1 to 100.

Explanation:

Aspirin is more readily absorbed when it is protonated, that is when pH is lower than pKa (<em>more H⁺ available in the medium</em>). We can confirm this using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for pH = 1.5:

$pH = pKa +log(\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid} )\\1.5=3.5 +log(\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid} )\\-2.0=log(\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid} )\\10^{-2.0} =\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid}\\\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid}=0.01=\frac{1}{100}$

When aspirin is absorbed more readily the ratio of conjugate base to acid is 1 to 100, being the acid the <em>predominant</em> form.

How many gallons of 80% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of 20% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70% antifre

Anarel [89]

Let A be the 80% solution and B be the 20% solution and P be the produce solution of 70%. Va and Vb and Vp are the volumes of A and B and P respectively.
Va + 60 = Vp
0.7Vp = 0.8Va + 0.2(60)
Substituting the value of Vp from the first equation:
0.7(Va + 60) = 0.8Va + 12
30 = 0.1Va
Va = 300 gallons

The [H+] of a solution can be determined from the pH using the equation: [H+] = 10 - pH ... Where: [H+] = hydrogen ion concentra

padilas [110]

Answer:

pH = -log₁₀ [H⁺]

Explanation:

pH is a value in chemistry used in to measure solution trying to determine each quality, purity, risks for health of some products, etc.

As you write in the question, [H⁺] = 10^(-pH)

Using logarithm law (log (m^(p) = p log(m):

log₁₀ [H⁺] = -pH
