Palmitic Acid, CH3(CH2)14COOH, found in both bacon fat and many soaps. Palmitic acid partially ionizes in water. Write a balanced chemical reaction for the dissociation of palmitic acid into its conjugate base and hydrogen ion. Write an expression for the equilibrium constant for palmitic acid. The equilibrium concentrations are [CH3(CH2)14COOH] = 0.1 M and [H+] = [CH3COO-] = 0.0133352 M. Calculate the equilibrium constant of ionization KA. Calculate the pKA of palmitic acid. Draw (by hand) the titration curve for palmitic acid. Please label your axes appropriately.
