Calculate the pH of the solute in an aqueous solution of 0.0047 M codeine, if the pKa of itsconjugate acid is 8.21.
What is the percentage protonation of the solute?
What is the percentage protonation of the solute?
-
if pKa of itsconjugate acid is 8.21.
since pKa + pKb = 14
then its pKb = 5.79
& its Kb = 1.62 e-6
Base in wahter --> BH+ & OH-
Kb = [BH+] [OH-] / [B]
1.62 e-6 = [X] [X] / [0.0047]
X2 = 7.62 e-9
X = [OH-] = 8.73 e-5
pOH = 4.06
since pH + pOH = 14
when the pOH = 4.06,
the pH = 9.94
since pKa + pKb = 14
then its pKb = 5.79
& its Kb = 1.62 e-6
Base in wahter --> BH+ & OH-
Kb = [BH+] [OH-] / [B]
1.62 e-6 = [X] [X] / [0.0047]
X2 = 7.62 e-9
X = [OH-] = 8.73 e-5
pOH = 4.06
since pH + pOH = 14
when the pOH = 4.06,
the pH = 9.94
