When the cell is deprived of oxygen, like in the beginning of an intense workout when muscle cells initially experience a lack of oxygen. So the muscle cell undergoes anaerobic respiration, lactic acid fermentation, more specifically. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid (hence the name), which is what makes you sore after a hard workout. Eventually the lactic acid is broken down in the kidney or liver or something.

When was lactic acid first isolated?
Lactic acid was first isolated in 1780 in Sweden by a chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele. Carl Wilhelm Scheele first isolated the lactic acid from sour milk as an impure brown syrup. When the lactic acid is not in its pure form it can be used as a flavoring component and preservative in processed cheese, salad dressings, pickles, soda and other carbonated beverages.
How can 2-aminopropanoic acid be prepared form lactic acid in just 2 steps?
Use anhydrous Lactic acid near boiling pointPass anhydrous Hydrogen chloride gas through it until no further increase in mass is found. This converts lactic acid into 2chloropropanoic acid.Substitute NH2 group, either by reaction with sodamide OR by actrion of ammonia gas. First method preferred as second method produces the amide at the same time and this has to be hydrolyzed to free the desired product.Melek
How does consuming sugar make the body more acidic?
CO2 is produced which can form carbonic acid
When milk turns sour is that a chemical change?
Yes, it is a chemical change (reaction) though it carried out by microorganisms (Lactic acid bacteria):Out of glucose through the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway yielding two moles of pyruvate.glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi → 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2OIntracellular redox balance is maintained through the oxidation of NADH, concomitant with pyruvate reduction to lactic acid.Two steps in short formula:C6H12O6 --'EMP'--> 2 C3H3O3- + 2 H+ --'Reduct'--> 2 C3H6O3and in words:glucose -> 2 pyruvate (2-oxopropanoate) + 2H+ -> 2 lactic acid (2-hydroxypropanoic acid)
Why is souring of milk is chemical change in simple words?
'Soured' means: lactic acid is (microbiologically) formed out of lactose:(THIS is a chemical change)C12H22O11 --> (among other compounds) C3H6O3by anaerobic homofermentative Lactobacillus spp.IUPAC name: 2-hydroxypropanoic acid = lactic acid = CH3CHOHCOOH
Where does body get lactic acid from?
Lactic acid is a form of milk acid. It is formed during the break down of glucose in all living organisms.
Why do sports such as swimming and running use the lactic acid system?
Lactic acid is produced when muscles in the body move at high rates and over long periods of time. So, even with swimming, you move your arms and legs a lot to gain speed, and this causes the acid to form. In reality, this acid is another type of acid, however it combines with oxygen to form Lactic Acid.
What acid is formed when is fermented to form yogurt?
Lactic acid
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in what?
The fermentation of milk occurs to form curd, of course lactic acid is released.
What do lactic acid fermentation occur in?
The fermentation of milk occurs to form curd, of course lactic acid is released.
What fuels are used in the lactic acid system?
It's when your body doesn't have enough oxygen to perform the "normal" process of creating energy, or ATP. Without the oxygen, our bodies perform lactic acid fermentation, which still produces energy but not as much as the one with oxygen. That energy is stored in the form of lactic acid.
Is there a diet to reduce lactic acid in your joints?
Lactic acid accumulates in the muscles NOT the joints. When the body cant supply enough oxygen to meet demand during anerobic exercise lactic acid starts to accumulate in the MUSCLES. When the exercise intensity is lowered or stops, accumulated lactic acid is removed form the muscles almost immediately*. If you have joint pain it is not from lactic acid, it could be an injury, a symptom of gout (sometimes crystals of uric acid forms in joints). I would recommend speaking to your doctor.
What form of cellular energy is lactic acid fermentation reaction part of?
lactic acid is formed by anaerobic respiration when insufficient oxygen is present.
What does cellular fermentation form?
lactic acid or alcohol( ethanol)
Why is build up of lactic acid a problem for athletes?
It's because lactic acid is a mild toxin. Reduced oxygen in the bloodstream causes lactic acid to build up in the body's tissues. This causes muscle cramps which forces you to rest, to give your body time to recover.

Does Pine Sol contain vinegar acetic acid acetates or anything that would form acetic acid when heated?
no , but it does have lactic acid and citric acid and HCL
