Answer:

1.4 × 10^-4.

Explanation:

C3H6O3 + H2O <======> C3H5O3^- + H3O^+ ------------------------------------------(1).

So, from the question above we are given the following parameters or data which is going to help in solving this particular Question/problem;

=>concentration of the solution of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)C00H) = 0.1 M and pH = 2.44.

Therefore, the concentration of the hydrogen ion[H^+} can be determined from the pH formula given below;

pH = - log { H^+}.

2.44 = - log { H^+}.

Therefore, {H^+} = 0.0036 M.

From the equation (1) given above, we have that the ratio for the equilibrium reaction is 1 : 1 : 1 :1. Therefore, molarity of C3H5O3^- = 0.0036 M and the molarity of C3H6O3 =( 0.1 - 0.0036 M) = 0.0964 M at equilibrium.

Hence, ka = {C3H5O3^-} { H3O^+} /{C3H6O3} = ( 0.0036 M)^2 /(0.0964 M) = 1.4 × 10^-4.

1. When an acid reacts with a base, what compounds are formed? (1 point) a salt only water only metal oxides only a salt and wat
scoundrel [369]

Answer: 1) only a salt and water

An acid and base reacts together to undergo neutralization to form salt and water.

HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

where HCl is an acid and NaOH is a base to form salt (NaCl) and water (H_2O).

Answer: 2) The formula of the hydrogen ion is often written as H^+.

All acids dissociate in water to give  H^+ ions.

Answer: 3) Arrhenius acids are substances that ionizes to yield protons in aqueous solution.

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-

Arrhenius bases are substance that ionizes to yield hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.

NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-

Answer: 4) A conjugate acid base pair  transfers hydrogen ion.

CH_3COO^-+H_2O\rightarrow CH_3COOH+H_3O^+

Here CH_3COO^- accepts a proton and thus act as a base and the corresponding CH_3COOH is its conjugate acid.

Answer: 5) Bronsted Lowry acid is a substance that donates protons.  Bronsted Lowry base is a substance that accepts protons.

NH_4^+ and NH_3

NH_3+H^+\rightarrow NH_4^+

NH_3 is a acid which accepts proton and thus acts as base to form conjugate acid NH_4^+.
