- Apatite, Ca5(PO4)3OH, is the mineral in teeth. On a chemical basis explain why drinking milk strengthens young children’s teeth. Sour milk contains lactic acid. Not removing sour milk from the teeth of young children can lead to tooth decay. Use chemical principles to explain why.arrow_forwardSupersaturated solutions of most solids in water are prepared by cooling saturated solutions. Supersaturated solutions of most gases in water are prepared by heating saturated solutions. Explain the reasons for the difference in the two procedures.arrow_forwardThe freezing point of p-dichlorobenzene is 53.1 C, and its Kf is 7.10 C kg/mol. A solution of 1.52 g of the drug sulfanilamide in 10.0 g p-dichlorobenzene freezes at 46.7 C. Calculate the molar mass of sulfanilamide.arrow_forward
- Amino acids are an important group of compounds. At low pH, both the carboxylic acid group (CO2H) and the amine group (NHR) are protonated. However, as the pH of the solution increases (say, by adding base), the carboxylic acid proton is removed, usually at a pH between 2 and 3. In a middle range of pHs, therefore, the amine group is protonated, but the carboxylic acid group has lost the proton. (This is called a zwitterion.) At more basic pH values, the amine proton is dissociated.
