ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (LOOSE)-MOLYMOD PKG.
- In each pair, select the stronger acid. (a) Pyruvic acid (pKa 2.49) or lactic acid (pKa 3.08) (b) Citric acid (pKa1 3.08) or phosphoric acid (pKa1 2.10)arrow_forwardThe normal pH range for blood plasma is 7.35–7.45. Under these conditions, would you expect the carboxyl group of lactic acid (pKa 3.08) to exist primarily as a carboxyl group or as a carboxylic anion? Explain.arrow_forwardPredict the stronger acid between the pair of acids and explain your answer. a.I3CCH2CH2COOH and CH3CH2CCL2COOH.arrow_forward
