Questions and Answers

What is the equilibrium constant defined as for the process of simple dissolution of a weakly acidic drug?

  • K = [HA(aq)] * [HA(s)]
  • K = [HA(s)] + [HA(aq)]
  • K = [HA(s)] / [HA(aq)]
  • K = [HA(aq)] / [HA(s)] (correct)

What is the equilibrium constant defined as for the dissociation of a weakly acidic drug into ions?

  • Ka = [A-(aq)] + [HA(aq)]
  • Ka = [A-(aq)] / [HA(aq)] (correct)
  • Ka = [HA(aq)] / [A-(aq)]
  • Ka = [A-(aq)] * [HA(aq)]

How is the solubility (S) of a weakly acidic drug defined in terms of total concentration of solute?

  • S = [HA(aq)] - [A-(aq)]
  • S = [HA(s)] + [HA(aq)]
  • S = [HA(aq)] * [A-(aq)]
  • S = K + KKa /[H+] (correct)
