Question

The ionization constant of lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)CO2H, MW=90.08 g/mol, an acid found in the blood after strenuous exercise, is 1.36 * 10^-4. If 37.5 g of lactic acid is used to make a solution with a volume of 516 mL, what is the pH of the solution? Report the pH rounded to the hundredths place.

Step 1

Given: Mass of lactic acid (m) = 37.5 g Molar mass of lactic acid (M) = 90.08 g/mol Volume of solution (V) = 516 mL = 0.516 L Molarity (M) = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters First, calculate the moles of lactic acid: moles = mass / molar mass moles Show more…
