Most naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH 3 CH(OH)CO 2 H(s) + H 2 O( l ) ⇄ H 3 O + (aq) + CH 3 CH(OH)CO 2 − (aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.

Complete the reaction in the drawing area below by adding the major products to the right-hand side.
If there won't be any products, because nothing will happen under these reaction conditions, check the box under the drawing area
instead.
Note: if the products contain one or more pairs of enantiomers, don't worry about drawing each enantiomer with dash and wedge
bonds. Just draw one molecule to represent each pair of enantiomers, using line bonds at the chiral center.
