Chapter 12, Problem 12.10YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Consider the hydroboration and protonation steps shown here. In each case, (a) the electrophilic atom and (b) the alkene C that acquires positive or partial positive charge is to be labeled. Whether the electrophilic atoms add to the same alkene C in each case is to be explained.

EBK ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND M, Chapter 12, Problem 12.10YT

Concept introduction:

For the reaction of the C=C bond with H-BH2, the electrophile is the B of the H-BH2 because it lacks an octet and is electron poor. A C-B bond is formed from the end of C=C that is less crowded, and a new C-H bond is formed from the end of C=C that is more sterically crowded. The partial positive charge in the transition state forms on the more substituted carbon. For the reaction of the C=C with H-Cl, the electrophile is the H of the H-Cl. A C-H bond is formed so that the C that is produced is on the more stable tertiary carbon. In both cases, the electrophilic atom adds to the same carbon of the C=C bond. In both cases, either the partial positive charge in the transition state or the positive charge in the carbocation intermediate forms on the carbon that is more substituted.

A small artisanal cheesemaker is testing the acidity of their milk before it coagulates. During fermentation, bacteria produce lactic acid (K₁ = 1.4 x 104), a weak acid that helps to curdle the milk and develop flavor. The cheesemaker has measured that the developing mixture contains lactic acid at an initial concentration of 0.025 M. Your task is to calculate the pH of this mixture and determine whether it meets the required acidity for proper cheese development. To achieve the best flavor, texture and reduce/control microbial growth, the pH range needs to be between pH 4.6 and 5.0. Assumptions: Lactic acid is a monoprotic acid H H :0:0: H-C-C H :0: O-H Figure 1: Lewis Structure for Lactic Acid For simplicity, you can use the generic formula HA to represent the acid You can assume lactic acid dissociation is in water as milk is mostly water. Temperature is 25°C 1. Write the K, expression for the dissociation of lactic acid in the space provided. Do not forget to include state symbols.…
