Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is given as,

                                         pH  =  pKa  +  log [A⁻] / [HA]   -------- (1)

Solution:

Convert Ka into pKa,

                                         pKa  =  -log Ka

                                         pKa  =  -log 1.37 × 10⁻⁴

                                         pKa  =  3.863

Putting value of pKa and pH in eq.1,

                                         4.29  =  3.863 + log [lactate] / [lactic acid]

Or,

                   log [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  4.29 - 3.863

                   log [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  0.427

Taking Anti log,

                             [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  2.673

Result:

           2.673 M  lactate salt when mixed with 1 M Lactic acid produces a buffer of pH = 4.29.

What is the product of the reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid when heated together
natulia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direct reaction of a carboxylic acid with an amine would be expected to be difficult because the basic amine would deprotonate the carboxylic acid to form a highly unreactive carboxylate. However when the ammonium carboxylate salt is heated to a temperature above 100 C water is driven off and an amide is formed.

Which of the following is a correct formula unit? PbCl AlP Li3Al ClO
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:  AIP  

There are two types of substances mixture and pure substance. Mixture has NO chemical formula and a pure substance has a chemical formula. There are two types of pure substances, elements (mono atomic and molecular) and compounds ( covalent and ionic).  

Ionic compounds do not exist in independent molecular form. They form three dimensional crystal lattice, in which each ion is surrounded by oppositely charged ion.  so the ratio of ion is called the formula unit
