Concept introduction:
Conjugate acid and base: If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
If an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base. Weak base forms stronger conjugated acid.
If electronegative atoms are attached to a species, it causes inductive electron withdrawal. It stabilizes its conjugate base thus increases the strength of the acid.
Inductive electron withdrawal: An electron-withdrawing group increases the strength of an acid. As the electronegativity of the electron-withdrawing group increases, or as an electron-withdrawing atom moves closer to the acidic hydrogen, the strength of the acid increases.

- Lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)COOH, is a weak monoprotic acid with a melting point of 53 C. It exists as two enantiomers (Sec. 7-2f) that have slightly different Ka values. The D form has a Ka of 1.5 104 and the L form has a Ka of 1.6 104. The D form is synthesized by some bacteria. The L form is produced in muscle cells during anaerobic metabolism in which glucose molecules are broken down into lactic acid and molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are formed.
