3. Cite atleast 5 importance of ph

1. Buffering the blood
2. Heavy metal toxicity
3. Lowered immune response
4. The paathyroid

5. In your own words, explain the importance of acid and base in

you life.
Acids are used in industries to manufacture fertilizers, paints, dyes and man-made fibers,
while bases are used in the production of fabrics, cleaning agents and paper. In nutrition, diluted
acids are used to dress salads and vegetables, giving food a distinctive taste. For example,
vinegar contains 3 percent acetic acid. Citrus fruits have citric acid. Aspirin contains
acetylsalicylic acid, and wine has tartaric acid.
Acids and bases are very useful in our daily lives. Lets start with acids.
Without acids, we wont have Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), your car wont start
(sulphuric acid in car batteries) or even accelerated rotting of your food (food
preservative in the form of citric acid). Similarly, imagine a world without bases.
Without bases, stubborn stains on your clothing wont come off (sodium
hypochlorite in bleach), youll have dirty mirrors (ammonium hydroxide used in
glass cleaners) and even having bowel problems as laxatives can be made from
magnesium hydroxide.
