Acidity of lactic acid = pKa = 3.85
Ca = 0.13M
Cs = 0.11M
<span>Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:</span>
pH = pKa + log(Cs/Ca)
pH = 3.85 + log(0.11M/0.13M) = 3.85 + log0,846 = 3.85 - 0.073 = <u>3.777</u>
Amphiprotic compounds are able to both donate and accept a proton.
Amphiprotic compounds contain a hydrogen atom and lone pair of valence electron.
For example, HSO₃⁻ (hydrogen sulfate ion) is an amphiprotic compound.
Balanced chemical equation for reaction when HSO₃⁻ donate protons to water:
HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq).
Ka = [SO₄²⁻] · [H₃O⁺] / [HSO₃⁻]
Balanced chemical equation for reaction when HSO₃⁻ accepts protons from water:
HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂SO₄(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
Kb = [H₂SO₄] · [OH⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]
Water (H₂O), amino acids, hydrogen carbonate ions (HCO₃⁻) are examples of amphiprotic species.
Another example, water is an amphiprotic substance:
H₂O + HCl → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻
H₂O + NH₃ → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

Answer:
Chemical I would assume.
Explanation:
This is because drugs have chemicals in them.
Soil erosion causing land to become barren due to lack of vegetation holding the soil together ^^; i guess
Local winds are mall scale convective winds of local
origin caused by temperature differences. Prevailing winds are winds that blow
predominantly from a single general
direction over a particular point on the Earth’s surface.
