Question
Chapter 20.SE, Problem 41AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The pKa of uric acid is 5.61. The percent dissociation of uric acid in urine at a pH=6.0 is to be calculated. Why uric acid is acidic even though it does not have a COOH group is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is
where, [A-] is the concentration of the dissociated uric acid and [HA] is the concentration of the undissociated uric acid.
A compound will be acidic and donate a proton, if the conjugate base obtained is stabilized by resonance.
To calculate:
The percent dissociation of uric acid in urine at a pH=6.0 if its pKa is 5.61 and to explain why uric acid is acidic even though it does not have a COOH group.

Unshared, or lone, electron pairs play an important role in determining the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds.
Thus, it is important to know which atoms carry unshared pairs.
Use the structural formulas below to determine the number of unshared pairs at each designated atom.
Be sure your answers are consistent with the formal charges on the formulas.
