EXTREME HURRY!! State the ionization constant expression Ka for lactic acid. Given: pKa = 3.85 and Ka = 1.4*10^-4 mol dm^-3

Ka expression for any substance:
Ka = [H+] [A-] / [HA]

In this case,
Ka = [H+][C₃H₅O₃-]/[C₃H₆O₃]
1.4 x 10⁻⁴ = [H+] [C₃H₅O₃-] / [C₃H₆O₃]

pKa = -log(Ka)
pH = -log([H+])
The difference between pKa and pH is that pH is the negative logarithm of only the concentration of hydrogen ions, while pKa is the negative logarithm of the ratio of the product of the concentrations of hydrogen ions and concentration of base to the concentration of acid.

The maximum efficiency possible in an energy conversion process that is not limited by the second law of thermodynamics
Anna [14]

Answer:

100 %

Explanation:

The maximun efficiency possible (whem not limited by the  second law of thermodynamics) happens when all the energy used is transformed into the type of energy we required with no other transformations.

For example, in an engine we want that all the energy we supply is being converted to work. That's the ideal case, but in reality always some of that energy is lost in the form of heat.
