Acid/base, Protonated Vs Unprotonated, Charged Vs Uncharged Flashcards
If pH < pKa
favors protonated form (has Hydrogen attached)
The compound with the Hydrogen ion is protonated or unprotonated?
Protonated
if pH > pKa
Favors unprotonated form (no Hydrogen ion attached)
The compound without the hydrogen ion is protonated or unprotonated?
Unprotonated
Are protonated weak acids charged or non-charged?
Non-charged
Are unprotonated weak acids charged or non-charged?
Charged
Are protonated weak base charged or non-charged?
Charged
Are unprotonated weak base charged or non-charged?
Non-charged
Weak Acid: pKa 3.5, pH 1.5
Protonated, non-charged
Weak base: pKa 7.0, pH 4.5
Protonated, Charged
Weak Acid: pKa 2.5, pH 5.0
Unprotonated, charged
Weak base: pKa 4.0, pH 6.5
Unprotonated, non-charged
