Consider a glycolic acid (HOCH2COOH) and glycolate (HOCH2COO-) buffer system. Write the chemical equation representing


The glycolic acid-glycolate equilibrium



Expert's answer

Solution:

glycolic acid = HOCH2COOH

glycolate = HOCH2COO


The chemical equation representing the glycolic acid-glycolate equilibrium:

HOCH2COOH(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + HOCH2COO(aq)
