Can you help me please?
3. In a laboratory setting at 25°C, 33.0 mL of 0.500 M pyruvic acid CH,(CO)COOH is added to a 60.0 mL
0.600M sodium pyruvate, CH;(CO)COONA, solution. The pKa of pyruvic acid is 2.50.
a. Write the chemical equation for the overall dissociation reaction that governs this system and correlates
directly to Ka. (Pro tip: you can define A for the reader so that writing everything is easier and will save
time. "Let A- = ")
b. Calculate the concentration of each species at equilibrium:
c. Calculate the pH of this solution.
d. Calculate the K, of the pyruvate ion. How does the value of the K, make sense in relation to the answer
for part c.?
