pH CHANGE AS THE CAUSE OF TOOTH DECAY

 Tooth decay starts when the pH of the mouth is lower than 5.5. Tooth enamel, made up of calcium hydroxyapatite (a crystalline form of calcium phosphate) is the hardest substance in the body. It does not dissolve in water, but is corroded when the pH in the mouth is below 5.5. Bacteria present in the mouth produce acids by degradation of sugar and food particles remaining in the mouth after eating. The best way to prevent this is to clean the mouth after eating food. Using toothpastes, which are generally basic, for cleaning the teeth can neutralise the excess acid and prevent tooth decay.

You might have heard that the pH level in the body affects your health. Studies have shown that lower, or acidic, pH levels are associated with a greater risk of serious health conditions including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Studies have also shown that higher, or alkaline, pH levels are linked to improvements in memory and cognition, reduced pain, and lower risk of hypertension (high blood pressure), and stroke.

Another interesting link is pH levels and bone health.  Extensive research has been conducted on the effects of pH on bone health, and studies have discovered that low-acid diets can help improve bone density. According to Dr Sara Gottfried, the Journal of Nutrition published a study that stated that alkaline mineral waters can decrease bone resorption and even lower parathyroid hormone levels which regulate the release of calcium from bone.

An alkaline diet is one that incorporates foods that can increase the pH levels. Interestingly, an alkaline diet is associated with an increase in growth hormone which can burn fat, improve libido, and retain a general sense of well-being.

Maintaining a good pH balance in the mouth allows a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria. Many of the good bacteria in our mouth are harmless and some bacteria, known as probiotics, aid in the digestion of foods. Other good bacteria actually protect our teeth and gums.

Certain foods, such as sugary beverages, snacks, and some grains, increase the acidity in the mouth. The pH of the mouth can change dramatically with the types offoods we eat. Foods that are highly acidic, like lemons, lowers the pH, while foods like melons increases the pH.

The saliva can help neutralize the acid, but eating acidic foods can increase the acidity of the saliva. If the pH takes a long time to neutralize in the mouth, it may give bad bacteria enough time to wreak havoc on the teeth and gums. Typically it may take a few minutes or a few hours for the pH to neutralize. An acidic mouth is an optimal environment for bad bacteria to grow, and if given the time and the ability, it can cause tooth decay.

(a) Less than 7

(b) Greater than 7

(c) Equal to 7

(d) Cannot be determined.

Refined sugar

 Sucrose is a common sugar. It is a disaccharide, a molecule composed of two monosaccharide units ie glucose and fructose. Sucrose is produced naturally in plants, from which table sugar is refined. It has a molecular formula C12H22O11.‌Refined sugar is made by extracting and processing the sugar naturally found in foods like corn, sugar beets, and sugar cane. This refined sugar is then added to foods for various purposes, such as to boost flavor.

Refined sugar is harmful for health. Children are very fond of ice cream, cold drinks, chocolates, and sweets, etc. which contain refined sugar. Higher intake of refined sugar forms acid in mouth which reacts with calcium phosphate present in enamel and tooth decay starts. These days children have lots of cavities. Lots of people are suffering from diabetes.

     a.      Sucrose

     b.      Glucose

     c.       Fructose

MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF SOAP

 

The fats and oils required for manufacturing soap are extracted from the plants and animals.  To make the fatty acids called triglyceride molecule, 3 fatty acid molecules are bonded to 1 molecule of glycerine. Fatty acids are weak acids composed of 2 parts. A carboxylic acid group having 1  hydrogen atom, 2 oxygen atoms, and 1 carbon atom and a hydrocarbon chain attached to the carboxylic acid group. Earlier the alkali required for making soaps were obtained from the animals but now they are clinically composed. The common alkalis used in soap making are sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.

Valence

Valence, also spelled valency, in chemistry, the property of an element that determines the number of other atoms with which an atom of the element can combine. Introduced in 1868, the term is used to express both the power of combination of an element in general and the numerical value of the power of combination.

The explanation and the systematization of valence was a major challenge to 19th-century chemists. In the absence of any satisfactory theory of its cause, most of the effort centred on devising empirical rules for determining the valences of the elements. Characteristic valences for the elements were measured in terms of the number of atoms of hydrogen with which an atom of the element can combine or that it can replace in a compound. It became evident, however, that the valences of many elements vary in different compounds. The first great step in the development of a satisfactory explanation of valence and chemical combination was made by the American chemist G.N. Lewis (1916) with the identification of the chemical bond of organic compounds with a pair of electrons held jointly by two atoms and serving to hold them together. In the same year, the nature of the chemical bond between electrically charged atoms (ions) was discussed by German physicist W. Kossel. After the development of the detailed electronic theory of the periodic system of the elements, the theory of valence was reformulated in terms of electronic structures and interatomic forces. This situation led to the introduction of several new concepts—ionic valence, covalence, oxidation numbercoordination number, metallic valence—corresponding to different modes of interaction of atoms.

Q1. Why do Helium, Neon and Argon have zero valency?

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Q2. Helium has 2 electrons in its valence shell but its valency is not 2. Do you agree?

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q3. Ramesh answered that 35Cl and 37Cl have different valences. Do agree with his answer, justify.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

Q4. An atom with 3 Protons and 4 Neutrons will have a valency ………………

ANSWER KEY-

(1)Full credit: Helium has 2 electrons in its only energy shell, while Argon and Neon have 8 electrons in their valence shells. As these have maximum number of electrons in their valence shells, they do not have any tendency to combine with other elements. Hence they have a tendency equal to zero.

No credit: Other responses and missing.

(2). Full credit:No.  Its duplet is complete. Hence the valency is zero.

No credit: Other responses and missing.
(3) Full credit:No.35Cl and 37Cl will have same valency. Valency is determined by number of protons or number of electrons. Since the number of protons/electrons are same in both the cases mentioned above, the valencies will be same.
