Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The energy diagram for the concerted reaction with ΔH°=80kJ/mol and Ea=16kJ/mol is to be drawn. The axes, the starting material, product, transition state, ΔH°, and Ea are to be labeled in the energy diagram.

Concept introduction: The reactions in which product are formed by the breaking and making of bonds in a single step are known as concerted reactions. The activation energy (Ea) aids in determining the rate of the chemical reactions. The small value of Ea exhibits that less energy is required to convert the reactants into products. It increases the rate of reaction. The change in enthalpy (ΔH°) indicates the relative position of starting material or product in the chemical reaction. The highest point in the energy diagram along the reaction coordinates is referred as transition energy. The energy difference between starting material or product is expressed by ΔH°.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The energy diagram for a two-step reaction, ABC, where the relative energy of these compounds is ACB, and the conversion of AB is rate-determining step is to be drawn.

Please help me with # 4 and 5. Thanks in advance!
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.…
