Given the structure of ascorbic acid (vitamin C): Is ascorbic acid a carboxylic acid?Compare the acid strength of ascorbic acid (pKa = 4.71) with acetic acid. Predict which proton in ascorbic acid is the most acidic. Draw the form (structure) of ascorbic acid that is present at physiological pH (in the body; pH = 7.4). What disease can be prevented and/or treated by the intake of ascorbic acid?
