I've read on it, but don't get this question.
" The digestion of some foods, such as red meat, releases urate ion C5H3N4Otothe-3 into the bloodstream. An excess of urate in the blood can result in the formation of sodium urate crystals in joints and tissues. This leads to a painful form of arhritis known as gout"
The equilibrium involved in this process is:
NaC5H3N4O3 <-----> Na+ + C5H3N4Otothe-3
Using Le Chatelier's principle explain why eliminating red meat from your diet can reduce the build-up of sodium urate in joints.
Thanks
