since the concentration of Carbon Dioxide will increase, it would make Q > K, cause equilibrium to shift in the direction with less moles of gas to alleviate the extra pressure. In this case, the reaction will shift left because there are fewer moles of gas present.
Answer:

Explanation:
Because 3.005 grams of potassium lactate is added to 100. mL of solution, its concentration is:
![\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \left[ \text{KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}\right] & = \frac{3.005\text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{100.\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{128.17 \text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} \\ \\ &= 0.234\text{ M}\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%20%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ctext%7BKC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%26%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B3.005%5Ctext%7B%20g%20KC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%7D%7B100.%5Ctext%7B%20mL%7D%7D%20%5Ccdot%20%5Cfrac%7B1%5Ctext%7B%20mol%20KC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%7D%7B128.17%20%5Ctext%7B%20g%20KC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%7D%20%5Ccdot%20%5Cfrac%7B1000%5Ctext%7B%20mL%7D%7D%7B1%5Ctext%7B%20L%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20%26%3D%200.234%5Ctext%7B%20M%7D%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
By solubility rules, potassium is completely soluble, so the compound will dissociate completely into potassium and lactate ions. Therefore, [KC₃H₅O₃] = [C₃H₅O₃⁺]. Note that lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid.
Recall the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
![\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{\left[\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]} \end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Ctext%7BpH%7D%20%3D%20%5Ctext%7Bp%7DK_a%20%2B%20%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Ctext%7BBase%7D%5Cright%5D%7D%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Ctext%7BAcid%7D%5Cright%5D%7D%20%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
[Base] = 0.234 M and [Acid] = 0.500 M. We are given that the resulting pH is 3.526. Substitute and solve for p<em>Kₐ</em>:

In conclusion, the p<em>Kₐ </em>value of lactic acid is about 3.856.
