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.
All organic substances contain carbon atoms.
<span>For isotopes of any element, the number of protons remains the same, BUT the number of neutrons changes. Since each of the isotopes listed is phosphorus, All three have 15 protons. (They have 16, 17 and 18 protons respectively.)</span>
