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
Given ,
Mass of sample of cobalt = 27 g
density of sample of cobalt = 9g/cm^3
We know that ,
Density = mass of sample/volume of sample
From that relation ,
We can deduce the following as
Volume = mass of sample/density of sample
Hence , required volume of sample of cobalt = 27 g /9 g/cm^3 = 3 cm^3
The volume is
