<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Directly proportional
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>Concentration is one of the factors that determine the rate of a reaction. Reaction rates increases with increase in the concentration of the reactants, which means they are directly proportional.</u></em>
- An increase in the concentration of reactants produces more collisions and thus increasing the rate at which the reaction is taking place. Therefore, <u>Increasing the concentration of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions between reactants and will cause an increase in the rate of reaction.</u>

Explanation:
Because 3.005 grams of potassium lactate is added to 100. mL of solution, its concentration is:
![\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \left[ \text{KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}\right] & = \frac{3.005\text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{100.\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{128.17 \text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} \\ \\ &= 0.234\text{ M}\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%20%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ctext%7BKC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%26%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B3.005%5Ctext%7B%20g%20KC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%7D%7B100.%5Ctext%7B%20mL%7D%7D%20%5Ccdot%20%5Cfrac%7B1%5Ctext%7B%20mol%20KC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%7D%7B128.17%20%5Ctext%7B%20g%20KC%24_3%24H_%24_5%24O%24_3%24%7D%7D%20%5Ccdot%20%5Cfrac%7B1000%5Ctext%7B%20mL%7D%7D%7B1%5Ctext%7B%20L%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20%26%3D%200.234%5Ctext%7B%20M%7D%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
By solubility rules, potassium is completely soluble, so the compound will dissociate completely into potassium and lactate ions. Therefore, [KC₃H₅O₃] = [C₃H₅O₃⁺]. Note that lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid.
Recall the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
![\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{\left[\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]} \end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Ctext%7BpH%7D%20%3D%20%5Ctext%7Bp%7DK_a%20%2B%20%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Ctext%7BBase%7D%5Cright%5D%7D%7B%5Cleft%5B%5Ctext%7BAcid%7D%5Cright%5D%7D%20%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
[Base] = 0.234 M and [Acid] = 0.500 M. We are given that the resulting pH is 3.526. Substitute and solve for p<em>Kₐ</em>:
In conclusion, the p<em>Kₐ </em>value of lactic acid is about 3.856.
<span>Salt compounds are composed of ions that form a tightly packed and ordered network, which is called a crystal lattice. It is held together by electrostatic forces known as ionic bonding. Ionic bonding refers to the chemical bond between two oppositely charged ions - a cation and an anion.
