Study Notes

Physical Pharmacy I - 2nd Stage

Topic: Ionic Equilibria (2024-2025)

Objectives

Define acids and bases
Understand Sörensen's pH scale
Understand terminology like Ampholytes, Aprotic, etc.
Explain ionization of Polyprotic electrolytes
Calculate pKa and pH of aqueous solutions with different compositions

Theories

Arrhenius Theory:
- Acid: A substance releasing hydrogen ions.
- Base: A substance releasing hydroxide ions upon dissociation in aqueous media.
Brønsted-Lowry Theory:
- Acid: A substance donating a proton.
- Base: A substance accepting a proton.
- Conjugate acid-base pairs explained.

Solvent Classification

Protophilic/Basic: Accepts protons from the solute.
Protogenic: Donates protons to the solute.
Amphiprotic: Can both accept and donate protons, e.g., water.
Aprotic: Neither accept nor donate protons, e.g., hydrocarbons.

Proteolytic Reactions (Protolysis)

Acid-base reactions involving proton transfer.
Also known as protonation-deprotonation reactions.

Sörensen's pH

pH scale quantifies acidity and alkalinity (0-14).
pH 7 is neutral, equal hydrogen and hydroxyl ion concentrations.
pH values at different temperatures are stated.

Ionic Equilibria

Equilibrium: A balance between opposing forces/reactions.
Dynamic equality between opposing reaction velocities.
Equilibrium condition where standard free energy difference is zero.
Explanation of the equilibrium constants involved in the process

Lewis Electronic Theory

Acid: Accepts an electron pair.
Base: Donates an electron pair.

Ionization of Polyprotic Electrolytes

Acids/bases donating/accepting multiple protons.
Diprotic (e.g., carbonic acid) and triprotic (e.g., phosphoric acid) acids ionizing in multiple stages.

Ampholytes

Species acting as both acid and base.
Amino acids and proteins are amphoteric/ampholytes.
Explanation of zwitterions.

Isoelectric Point (IEP)

pH where zwitterion concentration is maximum for protein and amino acids
Represents the point at which the molecule has no net charge.
Solubility and other properties depend on the IEP.
pH of milk and casein has been stated.

Solutions Containing Strong Acids

H+ ion concentration fully ionizes.
H+ concentration is equal to the concentration of the strong acid.

Solutions Containing Weak Acids

Incomplete ionization
Calculate the pH using equilibrium expressions: [H₃O+] = √(KₐCₐ)

Solutions Containing a Single Conjugate Acid-Base Pair

Calculate pH for solutions with both a weak acid and its salt (conjugate base) or vice versa.
Using the respective acid dissociation constant (Kₐ) or conjugate base dissociation constants (Kᵦ), or K₁ and K₂ constants involved in this type of equilibria equations

Solutions Containing Two Weak Acids

The dominant equilibrium occurs via the equation [H₃O+] = √(K₁C₁ + K₂C₂) .
Examples of calculating pH have been given when considering the concentration of two weak acids by using their K₁ and K₂ constants

Solutions Containing a Salt of a Weak Acid and a Weak Base

The overall ionization process involves the ionization of the weak base and/or weak acid.
The overall ionization process is often complicated due to the presence of multiple species.
In most instances, [H₃O+] = √K₁K₂

Solutions Containing a Weak Acid and A Weak Base

Calculation of pH using the equilibrium expression with K₁ and K₂
Examples have been given for both weak acid and weak base types of solutions

Ionic Strength

A measure of the total ion concentration in a solution.
