Chapter 17, Problem 143E
Lactic acid is a weak acid found in milk. Its calcium salt is a source of calcium for growing animals. A saturated solution of this salt, which we can represent as Ca(Lact)2, has a [Ca2+] = 0.26 and a pH = 8.40. Assuming the salt is completely dissociated, calculate the Kaof lactic acid.
