Acid/Base Flashcards
acid
proton donor
base
proton acceptor
conjugate acid
basic product of reaction of acid
conjugate base
acidic product of reaction of base
What more readily donates protons:
strong or weak acid
stronger acid
What has a larger Ka:
strong or weak acid
stronger acid
What more readily accepts protons
strong or weak base
stronger base
base association constant
Kb
conj. acid + conj. base / base
acid dissociation constant
Ka
H+ x conj. base / parent acid
Stronger acid gives a
weak or strong conjugate base
weak
Stronger base gives a
weak or strong conjugate acid
weak
Kw
dissociation constant for water
(H+) x (OH-)
What has a larger Kb:
strong or weak base
strong base
What has a larger pKa:
strong or weak acid
weak acid
What has a larger pKb:
strong or weak base
weak base
What happens when you decrease pH with an acidic drug?
increase non-ionized (decreased ionization fraction)
What happens when you decrease pH with a basic drug?
increase ionized (increased ionization fraction)
What happens when you increase pH with an acidic drug?
increase ionized (increased ionization fraction)
What happens when you increase pH with a basic drug?
increase non-ionized (decreased ionization fraction)
What happens with a basic drug when the pH is lower than the pKa?
High ionization fraction
more ionized
pH-pKa<0
What happens with a basic drug when the pH is higher than the pKa?
Low ionization fraction
more non-ionized
pH-pKa>0
What happens with a basic drug when the pH is the same as the pKa?
equal ionized and non-ionized
pH-pKa=0
ionized fraction = 0.5
pH increases if
-HCO3 increases or decreases
-CO2 increases or decreases
HCO3: increases
CO2: decreases
Which drug is going to be more ionized in any pH?
more acidic or less acidic
more acidic
