Name: 22. Lactic acid, C 3 H 6 O 3, builds up in human muscles during anaerobic exercise. If the initial concentration of lactic acid is 0.12 mol/l and the ph is 2.39, what is K a for lactic acid? How to look at this. The ph is telling you the concentration of the H 3 O + (aq) and C 3 H 5 O 3 (aq) ph log[h 3 O + (aq)] [H 3 O + ] 10 ph 10 2.39 4.1 10 3 mol/l Concentration (mol/l) C 3 H 6 O 3(aq) + H 2 O (l) H 3 O + (aq) + C 3 H 5 O 3 (aq) Initial 0.12 0.0 0.0 Change 4.1 10 3 4.1 10 3 4.1 10 3 Final 0.116 4.1 10 3 4.1 10 3 K a [H 3 O+ ][C 3 H 5 O 3 ] [C 3 H 6 O 3 ] (4.1 10 3 )(4.1 10 3 ) 0.116 1.45 10 4 Therefore, K a is 1.45 10 4. 23. Calculate the ph of a solution of H 2 CO 3, with an initial concentration of 0.010 mol/l. K a for H 2 CO 3 is 4.2 10 7, and K a for HCO 3 is 4.8 10 11. Since K a for HCO 3 is so small, the amount of hydrondium ion produced by this step is negligible. Therefore, only the first ionization step needs to be considered when determining the ph of the solution. Concentration (mol/l) H 2 CO 3(aq) + H 2 O (l) H 3 O + (aq) + HCO 3 (aq) Initial 0.010 0.0 0.0 Change x x x Final 0.010 x x x K a [H 3 O + ][HCO 3 ] [H 2 CO 3 ] 0.010 x 4.2 10 7 Since x is very small, use an approximation. 4.2 107 0.010 4.2 10 9 x 6.5 10 5 The equilibrium concentration of H 3 O + (aq) is 6.5 10 5 mol/l. ph log[h 3 O + ] log(6.5 10 5 ) 4.19 The ph of the solution is 4.19. 4
