Q

2nd pKa is always bigger. Why?

A

1st ionisation COOH increase acidity of compound but once it has been ionised to COO- it will decrease acidity of compound.

22
Q

if there is a large pKa difference =

A

reaction irreversible

because strong acid and base is being used.

23
Q

conjugate base benzoate is a water-soluble anion = push reaction to the right.

A

Reason for preparing a salt for a non water soluble acidic drug.

24
Q

methyl-amine + water —> ammonium chloride and water

A

methyl-amine will become protonated (added H+)
pKa increases from 1.74 (water) to 10.7 (NH4Cl) because it is a weaker acid

25
Q

why does equilibrium favour the right side?

A

there is a large difference in pKa

26
Q

NaNH2: formation of NH3

A

pKa 5.7 stronger acid (H2O) give a H+ tpo make a weaker base OH- and a weaker acid with a pKa 38

27
Q

H2O donate H+ to any _____ stronger than OH-

A

base

28
Q

to use bases that are stronger than OH- :

A

solvent weaker acid than H2O

29
Q

Examples of weak acids?

A

Hydrocarbons (pKa 50)
Ammonia (pKa 38)

30
Q

Amino acids are _____ compounds;

A

amphoteric

31
Q

amphoteric compounds?

A

act as proton donor and as a proton acceptor (acid/base depending on conditions)

32
Q

ALL amphiprotic substances are _________ - but reverse isn’t true

A

amphoteric

33
Q

Zwitterion;

A

doubly charged form

34
Q

COOH protonates NH2 at pH 7, amino acids having neutral R will exist predominantly as

A

zwitterion (internal salt)

35
Q

ammonium cation > zwitterion net charge is ____> aminocarboxylate anion

A

zero

36
Q

amino acids are _____ compounds - therefore they have no pH existence

A

ionic

37
Q

Isoelectric point pI; pH at which concentration of the zwitterion is max pH which the concentrations of cationic and anionic forms are _____

A

equal

38
Q

pI=pH=

A

pKa1 + pKa2 / 2

39
Q

equation for Ka1?

A

ka1 = [H+] [zwitterion] / [cation]

40
Q

equation for Ka2?

A

Ka2 = [H+] [anion] / [zwitterion]

41
Q

At pI: [cation] = [anion]

A

[cation] = [H+] [zwitterion] / Ka1 = [anion] = Ka2 [zwitterion] / [H+]

42
Q

the isoelectric point (pI)

A

the pH at which a particular molecule carries no net electrical charge

43
Q

Ka1 x Ka2 = [H+]2 so what is the equation for pH

A

pH = pK1 + pKa2 / 2

44
Q

pI: pKa2 (cation) = pKa3 (dipolar ion) / 2

A

examples…

45
Q

amino acids; positively charged at low (acidic) pH, negatively charged at high (basic) pH and zwitterionic at neutral pH

A

implications fro oral absorption and bioavailability of amino acids from diet

46
Q

bioavailability nutrition?

A

the efficiency with which a dietary component is used. systematically through normal metabolic pathways

47
Q

Ionised species (substances with a charge): veryy low lipid solubility

A

unable to permeate through membranes

only non-ionised drug is usally able to cross membranes

48
Q

When using H-H equation =

A

pH = pKa + log [base] / [acid]

49
Q

if we want pH = pKa for drug (weak acid)

A

log [base] / [acid]= log [ionised] / [non-ionised] = 0

50
Q

if shift in pH by one unit other side of pKa = must change the ratio of ionised to non-ionised forms by factor of 10

A

pH = pKa + log [ionised] / [non-ionised]

pH = pKa + 1 [ionised / [non-ionised] = 10 10 / 1

which means [ionised] 10 times

51
Q

pH = pKa + log [ ionised] / [non-ionised]
pH = pKa - 1 [ionised] / [ non=ionised] = 0.1

A

1/10 [non-ionised] 10 times

52
Q

calculate fraction of the total dose that is ionised of any pH if the pKa is known

A

fraction [ionised] = 1 / 1 + antilog (pKa - pH)

%ionised = 100 / 1+ antilog (pKa - pH)

53
Q

weak bases

A

fraction [ionised] = 1 / 1 + antilog (pH - pKa)

% ionised = 100 / 1 + antilog (ph - pKa)
