Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ions responsible for the peaks in the given mass spectrum should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical technique which is used to elucidate structure of compounds, quantify materials, identify unknown compounds etc. In mass spectrophotometer, the molecule is ionized by giving it a positive charge by removing an electron or by adding a proton. The molecule may break into several positively charged fragments according to the ionization method used. Then, in a mass analyzer, these cationic molecular fragments are separated based on their mass and detected by the detector. Only positively charged molecular fragments are detected by the detector.

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.…
