Henderson–<span>Hasselbalch equation is given as,

                                         pH  =  pKa  +  log [A</span>⁻] / [HA]   -------- (1)
Solution:
               
Convert Ka into pKa

                                         pKa  =  -log Ka

                                         pKa  =  -log 1.37 × 10⁻⁴

                                         pKa  =  3.863

Putting value of pKa and pH in eq.1,

                                         4.54  =  3.863 + log [lactate] / [lactic acid]
Or,
                   log [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  4.54 - 3.863

                   log [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  0.677

Taking Anti log,
                             [lactate] / [lactic acid]  =  4.75
Result:
           4.75 M 
lactate salt when mixed with 1 M Lactic acid produces a buffer of pH = 4.54.

Explain how chemists overcome the problem of low yield In industry
mrs_skeptik [129]

High temperature and pressure produce the highest rate of reaction. However, this must be balanced with the high cost of the energy needed to maintain these conditions. Catalysts increase the rate of reaction without affecting the yield. This can help create processes which work well even at lower temperatures.

I hope this helps you.

Answer:

Condensation

Explanation:

An exothermic process is one in which heat is lost. Condensation is a change of state from gas to liquid. Thus is loses heat.
