Chapter 15, Problem 15.85SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Value of ${\text{K}}_{\text{a}}{\text{ and pK}}_{\text{a}}$ for $0.\text{1}0{\text{ M C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$ having pH 2.43 should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The dissociation content is the ratio of molar concentration of product reaction and lactic acid.
The negative logarithmic value of dissociation constant gives ${\text{pk}}_a$
