Uric acid dissociates as shown in the figure at the right


Uric acid dissociates as shown in the figure at the right with a pKa of 5.80 as well as can be treated as a simple monoprotic acid in this pH range. Its solubility in urine depends on the relative amount of protonated and unprotonated forms. A urine sample was found to have a pH of 6.48.

Explain what would be the ratio of the unprotonated form, A- to the protonated form, HA for uric acid in this urine sample?
