Assume that you have a sample of acetic acid (pKa=4.75) dissolved in water?
So I've used 3 attempts and I only have one left on this. Here's the 3 parts to the question:
Part A
Draw the structure of the major species present in the water solution.
Part B
Now assume that aqueous HCl is added to the acetic acid solution until pH2 is reached. Draw the structure of the major species present.
Part C
Finally, assume that aqueous NaOH is added to the acetic acid solution until pH12 is reached. Draw the structure of the major species present.
