Example: Calculate the pH of a buffer solution that initially consists of 0.0400 moles of ammonia and 0.0250 moles of ammonium ion, after 20.0 mL of 0.75 M NaOH has been added to the buffer. Ka for ammonium ion is 5.6 x 10 -10.
There are two types of bacteria. Aerobic bacteria live with oxygen, love the company of food particles in the mouth and feed on sugar. Anaerobic bacteria exist without oxygen and feed off dead skin cells and other bacteria.
Nearly all dental infections are caused by anaerobic bacteria. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia are also caused by anaerobic bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria can cause an infection when a normal barrier (such as skin, gums, or intestinal wall) is damaged due to injury, surgery, or disease. Usually, the immune system kills any invading bacteria, but sometimes the bacteria are able to grow and cause an infection. Body sites that have tissue destruction (necrosis) or a poor blood supply are low in oxygen and favor the growth of anaerobic bacteria. Risk Factors: People who have experienced shock, injury, or surgery, and those with blood vessel disease or tumors are at an increased risk for infection by anaerobic bacteria. Symptoms: Common Symptoms: Fever with or without chills ...
