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

Q 16.1: Select the first step in the Wittig reaction. A : The alkyltriphenylphosphonium halide is deprotonated by a base to make
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The phosphorus ylide reacts with the aldehyde or ketone to make an oxaphosphetane.

Explanation:

The Wittig reaction is a reaction that occurs between a phosphorus ylide and an aldehyde or ketone. The final products are an alkene and triphenyl phosphine oxide.

The first step in the reaction is the attack of the phosphorus ylide on the aldehyde or ketone. This is followed by attack of oxygen on phosphorus to form a [2+2] cycloaddition product (oxaphosphetane)  which  decomposes to form the alkene and triphenylphosphine oxide.
