- A chemist wanted to determine the concentration of a solution of lactic acid, HC3H5O3. She found that the pH of the solution was 2.60. What was the concentration of the solution? The Kd of lactic acid is 1.4 104.arrow_forwardIonization of the first proton from H2SO4 is complete (H2SO4 is a strong acid); the acid-ionization constant for the second proton is 1.1 102. a What would be the approximate hydronium-ion concentration in 0.100 M H2SO4 if ionization of the second proton were ignored? b The ionization of the second proton must be considered for a more exact answer, however.
