A.
Formula of lactic acid = C3H6O3
After removal of a proton whatever remains of the acid is the conjugate base of that acid. The conjugate base of lactic acid is the lactate anion.
Hence, the formula of the conjugate base = C3H5O3-
B.
Let us say that the moles of conjugate base need to be added = Z mol
Let us say that the volume of the solution = X L
Moles of lactic acid = 1.25 mol
Thus, [C3H6O3] = 1.25 mol/ X L = 1.25/X M
[C3H5O3-] = Z mol/X L = Z/X M
Hence,
[C3H5O3-]/[C3H6O3] = Z/1.25
From Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log([base]/[acid])
or, pH = - logKa + log([C3H5O3-]/[C3H6O3])
or, 3.90 = - log(1.4 x 10-4) + log(Z/1.25)
or, 3.90 = 3.85 + log(Z/1.25)
or, log(Z/1.25) = 0.05
or, Z/1.25 = 100.05
or, Z = 1.40
Hence, the moles of conjugate base needed = 1.40 mol
C.
Moles of HCl added = 10 mL x 0.85 M = 8.5 mmol = 0.0085 mol
0.0085 mol of HCl reacts with 0.0085 mol of lactate to form 0.0085 mol of lactic acid.
Moles of lactic acid = (1.25 + 0.0085) mol = 1.2585 mol
Moles of lactate = (1.40 - 0.0085) mol = 1.3915 mol
Let us say that the volume of the solution = Y L
Thus,
[C3H6O3] = 1.2585 mol/ Y L = 1.2585/Y M
[C3H5O3-] = 1.3915 mol/Y L = 1.3915/Y M
Hence,
[C3H5O3-]/[C3H6O3] = 1.3915/1.2585
From Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log([base]/[acid])
or, pH = - logKa + log([C3H5O3-]/[C3H6O3])
or, pH = - log(1.4 x 10-4) + log(1.3915/1.2585)
or, pH = 3.85 + 0.044
or, pH = 3.89
Hence, the pH of the solution after the addition of HCl = 3.89
