is defined as the negative power of ten that determines hydrogen ion concentration.
pH in the mouth is more than 7 as the saliva produced in the mouth. However when we take food some food
particles remain in the mouth after eating and bacteria present in the mouth produce acids lowers the pH in the
mouth tooth decay starts when the pH of acid formed in the mouth falls below 5.5 and the enamel get corroded
due to reaction of calcium phosphate with acid.

used during the day for photosynthesis. Stomata remain closed during the day to prevent water loss by
transpiration.

OR
(a) Esterification reaction: Ethanoic acid reacts with ethanol in the presence of conc. H2SO4 to form ethyl
ethanoate which is ester (Sweet smelling substances). This reaction is known as esterification reaction.

(b) (i)

(ii)
Cleansing action of soap: The molecules of soap are sodium or potassium salt of long chain carboxylic acids
long hydrocarbon chain is nonpolar is called hydrophobic because it does not dissolve in water. Ionic end of soap
molecule is known as hydrophilic part because it can dissolve in water. The soap molecules when comes in
contact with dirt (oil droplet) it form structure called micelles where one end of the molecules is towards the oil
droplet while the ionic faces outside. This forms an emulsion in water. The soap micelle thus help in dissolving
the dirt in water and we can wash our clothes clean.
