Solubility Of Weak Acids And Bases Flashcards
What is the solubility of weak acids and bases influenced by?
pH
Weakly acidic drugs have a greater aqueous solubility at what pH values?
Higher
Weakly basic drugs have a greater aqueous solubility at what pH values?
Lower
How to determine the pH of weakly acidic drugs?
pH=pKa+log [A-]
[HA]
How to determine the pH of weakly basic drugs?
pH=pKa +log[B]
[BH+]
What makes an amphoteric drug?
Both acidic and basic groups
When are amphoteric drugs ionised?
At all pH values.
what aqueous solubility will weakly acidic drugs have at higher pH?
greater aqueoius solubility
what aqueous solubility will weakly basic drugs have at lower pH?
greater aqueous value
when there is no net charge what will amphoteric drugs show?
solubility minimum
isoelectric point
