Marking-scheme solution
(i)
Acids produce \(\displaystyle \mathrm{H}^{+}\)ions and bases produce \(\displaystyle \mathrm{OH}^{-}\)ions when added in water. /
\[\mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}
\]
\(\displaystyle \mathrm{NaOH} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{O}} \mathrm{Na}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}\)
(ii)
• Plaster of Paris/Calcium sulphate hemihydrate
\(\displaystyle \left(\mathrm{CaSO}_{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)\)
\(\displaystyle \mathrm{CaSO}_{4} \cdot 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \xrightarrow{373 \mathrm{~K}} \mathrm{CaSO}_{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+1 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
(i)
Calcium phosphate / Calcium hydroxyapatite
\[\left(\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}\right)
\]
(ii)
Tooth decay starts when the pH of the mouth is lower than 5.5. Bacteria present in the mouth produces acid by degrading sugar and food particles.
Using Toothpaste / Cleaning the mouth after every meal.
