Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The given proton-transfer reaction has to be completed and the reaction is more likely to go in the direction written or in the opposite direction has to be decided.
Concept introduction:
Acid:
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, a species which donates a proton in a proton transfer-reaction is said to be an acid.
Base:
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, a species which accepts a proton in a proton transfer-reaction is said to be base.
Relative acid strength:
It says about the relationship between the strength of an acid and its conjugate base.

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

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.…
