Chapter 16, Problem 95

(choose chapter or problem)

The pKa values of the carboxylic acid groups of oxaloacetic acid are 2.22 and 3.98.a. Which carboxyl group is the stronger acid?b. The amount of hydrate present in an aqueous solution of oxaloacetic acid depends on the pH of the solution: 95% at pH 0, 81% at pH 1.3, 35% at pH3.1, 13% at pH 4.7, 6% at pH 6.7, and 6% at pH 12.7. Explain this pH dependence.
