Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The form/s of acetic acid present at pH 2.0 or lower, at 4.75 and at 8.0 higher.
Concept Introduction:
For an acid HA; the acid dissociation reaction can be written as.
The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is the ratio of product and reactant for the acid dissociation reaction. Hence it can be written as;.

The Ka1 of ascorbic acid is 7.94 x 10-5. Would you expect ascorbic acid dissolved in blood plasma (pH 7.35–7.45) to exist primarily as ascorbic acid or as ascorbate anion? Explain.
18-17 Hexanoic (caproic) acid has a solubility in water of
about 1 g/100 mL water. Which part of the molecule
contributes to water solubility,'and which
part
prevents solubility?
The Brønsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases is:
Acids are proton donors, bases are proton acceptors
Acids are nucleophiles and bases are electrophiles
Acids are proton acceptors, bases are proton donors
Carboxy groups are acids and amine groups are bases
Carboxy groups are electrophiles and amine groups are nucelophiles
