Butyric acid is responsible for the foul smell of rancid butter. The $\mathrm{p} K_{a}$ of butyric acid is $4.84 .$ (a) Calculate the $\mathrm{p} K_{b}$ for the butyrate ion. (b) Calculate the $\mathrm{pH}$ of a $0.050 \mathrm{M}$ solution of butyric acid. (c) Calculate the pH of a $0.050 \mathrm{M}$ solution of sodium butyrate.
Butyric acid is found in butter, Parmesan cheese, and vomit, and as a product of anaerobic fermentation (including in the colon and as body odor). A) Calculate the percent ionization of a 7x10^-3 M solution of butyric acid. B) Calculate the percent ionization of a 7x10^-3 M butyric acid in a solution that already contains 8x10^-2 M butanoate. (Ksp for the butyric acid is 1.5x10^-5)
