Answer:
Pyruvic acid: conjugate base
Lactic acid: conjugate base
Explanation:
The ratio of conjugate base to conjugate acid can be found using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation when the pH and pKa are known.
pH = pKa + log([A⁻]/[HA])
The equation can be rearranged to solve for the ratio:
pH - pKa = log([A⁻]/[HA])
[A⁻]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa)
Now we can calculate the ratio for the pyruvic acid:
[A⁻]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(7.4 - 2.50) = 79433
[A⁻] = 79433[HA]
There is a much higher concentration of the conjugate base.
Similarly for lactic acid:
[A⁻]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(7.4 - 3.86) = 3467
[A⁻] = 3467[HA]
For lactic acid the conjugate base also dominates at pH 7.4

Photon is a packet of light energy. Both photon and electron contribute mostly to the quantum mechanics of the atom. Every particle in quantum mechanical model is explained as dual natured, that is has both particle and wave nature. Photons exhibit wave light properties like diffraction, interference, etc.,At the same time they exhibit particle properties like having a definite momentum and position. Similarly electrons and other microscopic particles exhibit both particle and wave nature.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Both photons and electrons display particle and wave-like behaviour.
Answer:
Goes from ocean (liquid) to water vapor (gas) to clouds (liquid) to snow (solid) then melts in a river (liquid)
Good luck my friend :)
