11. The ionization constant of lactic acid, CH3CHOHCO2H , is 1.36 x 10 - 4. If 20.0 g of lactic acid is used to make a solution with a volume of 1.00 Liter, what is the concentration of the hydrogen ion in the solution?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Molar mass of Lactic acid (C3H6O3) = 3 * 12 + 6 * 1 + 3 * 16 = 90 gm/mol

Number of moles of lactic acid = 20/90 = 0.222M

Initial 0.222M 0 0

Final (0.222-x)M x x

assuming 0.222-x is approximately equal to 0.222

Hence the concentration of hydrogen is equal to 5.497 * 10^(-3) moles/liter

The analytical concentration of lactic acid in blood is generally less than 1.20 x 10-4 M, corresponding to the sum of [lactate] and [lactic acid]. During strenuous exercise, however, oxygen in the muscle tissue is depleted, and overproduction of lactic acid occurs. This leads to a condition known as lactic acidosis, which is characterized by elevated blood lactic acid levels (approximately 5.00 x 10-3 M). The pKa of lactic acid is 3.9. 1.
