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

Chemistry

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.

Given the balanced equation:
Vikki [24]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a more reactive element or atom replaces a less reactive atom then this type of reaction is known as single displacement reaction.

In the given reaction, potassium iodide reacts with fluorine and results in the formation of potassium fluoride and iodine.

Here, fluorine being more reactive displaces iodine from potassium iodide.

Therefore, it is a single replacement or displacement reaction.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction of carbon monoxide with water is 1.845. if 1.00 mol of each reactant is placed in a 2.
SpyIntel [72]
[CO] = 1 mol / 2L = 0.5 M

[
According to the equation:

and by using the ICE table:

             CO(g) + H2O(g) ↔   CO2(g) + H2(g)

initial     0.5            0.5                    0          0

change  -X              -X                   +X         +X
     
Equ       (0.5-X)       (0.5-X)                     X            X

when Kc = X^2 * (0.5-X)^2

by substitution:

1.845 = X^2 * (0.5-X)^2  by solving for X 

∴X = 0.26

∴ [CO2] = X = 0.26
