What is the ratio of lactic acid (Ka = 1.37x10-4) to lactate in a solution with pH =4.49?

Chemistry

When Ka =1.37 x 10^-4 

∴Pka = - ㏒Ka

          = -㏒ 1.37 x 10^-4 
          
           = 3.86

According to H- H equation: 

when PH = PKA + ㏒[conjugate base / weak acid]

when the lactate is the conjugate base and lactic acid is the weak acid 

∴ PH = Pka +㏒[lactate] / [lactic acid]

so, by substitution:


4.49 = 3.86 + ㏒[lactate]/[lactic acid]

∴[lactate]/[lactic acid] = 4.3

∴ [lactic acid] / [lactate] = 1/4.3 
            
                                        = 0.23

KIM [24]
Transcribed image text: Four liquids are described in the table below. Use the second column of the table to explain the order of their freezing points, and the third column to explain the order of their boiling points. For example, select '1' in the second column next to the liquid with the lowest freezing point. Select '2' in the second column next to the liquid with the next higher freezing point, and so on. In the third column, select '1' next to the liquid with the lowest boiling point, '2' next to the liquid with the next higher boiling point, and so on. Note: the density of water is 1.00g/mL .

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: Medicine is a scientific field whose subject of research is the health and well-being of living whips.

The academic and research law will enable a specific area, disease, congenital disability, or condition to be defined, studied in detail, and after the conclusion of tests performed. Concluded medical theory is most often put into a usable form through various educational processes, which will lead to the ultimate goal - to improve the health of living forms on which this theory will be applied.
