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.

A green laser pointer emits light with a wavelength of 542 nm. What is the frequency of this light?
ehidna [41]
As we know that wavelength and frequency is inversely proportional to each other. Greater the wavelength smaller the frequency and vice versa.
 
Solution:


The relation between wavelength and frequency is as follow,

υ = c / λ

where
            υ = frequency = ?
            c = velocity of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹
            λ = wavenumber = 542 nm = 542 × 10⁻⁹ m
Putting the given values,
    
            υ = 3.0 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹ / 542 × 10⁻⁹ m
Result:
            υ = 5.53 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹
