Question

1. Calculate the pH of a 0.01 M Solution of salicylic acid which has a Ka=1.06×10-3.

2. Calculate the pH of a 1g/100mL solution of ephedrine sulfate. The molecular weight of the salt is 428.5 and Kb for ephedrine base is 2.3×10-5.

3. The ionization constant Kb for morphine base is 7.4×10-7. What is the hydroxyl ion concentration of a 0.0005 M aqueous solution of morphine?

4. What is the pH of a 0.0033 M solution of cocaine base, which has a basicity constant of 2.6×10-6?

5. Calculate the pH of a 0.165 M solution of sodium sulfathiozole. The acidicity constant for sulfathizone is 7.6×10-8.

I need help with these 5 questions!!!

Explanation / Answer

1.Calculate the pH of a 0.01 M Solution of salicylic acid which has a Ka=1.06×10-3.

pKa = -log Ka = -log (1.06×10-3.) = 2.97

pH = 1/2 (pKa - log C)

     = 1/2 (2.97 - log 0.01)

     = 2.48

pH = 2.48

2)

2. Calculate the pH of a 1g/100mL solution of ephedrine sulfate. The molecular weight of the salt is 428.5 and Kb for ephedrine base is 2.3×10-5

molarity (C) = ( mass /molar mass ) x 1000 / 100

                     = (1/ 428.5) x 1000 / 100

                     = 0.0233 M

Kb = 2.3×10-5

pKb = -log Kb = -log ( 2.3×10-5) = 4.64

ephedrine sulfate   it is the salt of weak base and stron acid . so the pH should be less than 7

pH = 7 - 1/2 [pKb + log C]

pH = 7 - 1/2 [4.64 + log 0.0233]

pH = 5.5

3. ) The ionization constant Kb for morphine base is 7.4×10-7. What is the hydroxyl ion concentration of a 0.0005 M aqueous solution of morphine

Kb = 7.4 x 10^-7

C = 0.0005 M

[OH-] = sqrt (Kb x C)

            = sqrt (7.4 x 10^-7 x 0.0005)

           = 1.92 x 10^-5 M

4. What is the pH of a 0.0033 M solution of cocaine base, which has a basicity constant of 2.6×10-6?

pkb = -log (2.6×10-6) = 5. 58

pOH = 1/2 [pKb + log C] = 1/2 [5.58 + log 0.0033] = 1.55

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 12.45

5. Calculate the pH of a 0.165 M solution of sodium sulfathiozole. The acidicity constant for sulfathizone is 7.6×10-8.

Ka = 7.6×10-8

pKa = 7.12

pH = 7 + 1/2 [pKa + logC]

pH = 10.17

pH = 7+ 1/2 [7.12 + log 0.165]
