Finals Q7:
"Modern examinations of the properties of X by Gustaf Arrhenius and Andrew
A. Benson of the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography have shown that they
could, when immersed in an arsenic-laced
solution, remove poison. The toxic compounds
in arsenic are arsenate and arsenite. Each is acted
upon differently, but effectively, by X. Arsenate is removed
by being exchanged for phosphate in
the mineral brushite, a crystalline structure found in the stones. Arsenite is found to bond to sulfur
compounds in the
protein of degraded hair, which is a key component in X.“
Give X.
