Chapter 17, Problem 17.38AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Difference between uracil and uridine has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The skeleton structure of base in nucleic acid generally consists of a nitrogen atom in it. There are two types of bases that are as follows:

(a) Pyrimidine base: It consists of one ring and is present in uracil, cytosine, and thymine.

(b) Purine base: It consists of two rings and is present in adenine and guanine.

A nucleoside is a monomer unit that forms the basic structure of the nucleic acid. They are used for medicinal purposes as anticancer or antiviral agents. They are composed of a monosaccharide unit and a nitrogen 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 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.…
