Popular questions
Does milk help acid reflux?
Milk can briefly buffer stomach acid, but its fat and protein may stimulate acid production later, so effects vary by person; fermented dairy contains lactic acid (E270), whose acidity helps tartness and may help or bother individuals depending on sensitivity.
How to drain lactic acid from legs?
You don’t need to “drain” it—exercise-produced lactate (the same molecule as food additive E270 in ion form) is naturally cleared or reused for energy within about an hour. Muscle soreness after workouts is from microdamage, not trapped lactic acid; light movement and time help.
What does lactic acid do?
In foods, E270 is an acidity regulator and flavoring that lowers pH to add a tangy taste and stabilize products. It also inhibits spoilage microbes and is used to reduce pathogens on meats and in fermented foods, beverages, and pickles.
What does lactic acid do for skin?
As an alpha‑hydroxy acid, lactic acid gently exfoliates and increases skin hydration, helping smooth texture and brighten dullness. At higher strengths or low pH it can irritate sensitive skin.
How to get rid of lactic acid?
Your body naturally clears exercise-produced lactate quickly, so there’s no need to “flush” it. Staying hydrated and doing light activity can support normal clearance; lactic acid in foods (E270) doesn’t cause muscle lactate buildup.
How many formula units of magnesium phosphate will be produced from 35.8 g of sodium triphosphate?
You can’t determine that from 35.8 g of pentasodium triphosphate alone—you need a balanced reaction and the amount of Mg2+ present, and in practice STPP mainly chelates magnesium rather than precipitating Mg3(PO4)2 unless it hydrolyzes to orthophosphate under specific conditions.
How much sodium triphosphate in dish soap?
Most household dishwashing liquids (and many automatic dishwasher detergents) now contain 0% phosphate due to regulations; some industrial/ institutional formulations can still include up to several–tens of percent STPP—check the product label or safety data sheet.
What chemistry experiment to do with sodium triphosphate?
Demonstrate water softening by comparing soap lather or measuring water hardness (EDTA titration) before and after adding a small, known amount of STPP to hard water.
What is pentasodium triphosphate toothpaste?
A toothpaste that includes pentasodium triphosphate (STPP) as a tartar‑control/whitening agent, binding calcium to reduce calculus and help lift surface stains; it’s used at low, safe levels for oral care.
What is pentasodium triphosphate used for?
As a food additive (E451i) it acts as a sequestrant, emulsifier and stabiliser to retain moisture and improve texture in processed meats/seafood and to control metal ions; outside food it’s widely used as a detergent builder and water softener, with an EFSA group ADI for phosphates of 40 mg/kg bw/day (as phosphorus).
