1. Calculate the concentration of the lactate ion in a solution that is 0.100 M in lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH, pKa = 3.86) and 0.080 M in HCl.
2. For the generic equilibrium HA(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + A−(aq), which of these statements is true?
If you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the pH would increase. | |
If you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the concentration of A− would decrease. | |
The equilibrium constant for this reaction changes as the pH changes. | |
If you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the concentration of HA would decrease. |
