Study Notes
Acid-Base Properties
- Alkyl alcohols (R-OH) have a pKA range of approximately 14 – 18, indicating they are not ionized in realistic pH solutions (0-14).
- Organic weak bases can be categorized into five groups:
- Aliphatic and alicyclic amines
- Aromatic amines (Ar-NH2)
- Aromatic and heterocyclic nitrogens
- Amidines (R-CNH-NH2)
- Guanidines (RHN-CNH-NH2)
Basicity of Amines
- General strength of basicity for amines: Secondary > Tertiary > Primary.
- Estimated pKB ranges for different amines:
- Aliphatic amines: 3 – 4
- Aromatic amines: 9 – 13
- Aromatic heterocyclic nitrogens (pyridine, isoquinoline): 4 – 5
- Amidines: pKB range of 10 – 13 and pKA range of 9 - 10.
Classification of Organic Molecules
- Amides have a pKB range of 15 – 17, indicating they are not ionized in typical solution pH (0-14).
- Classification of organic compounds based on their acid/base functionality:
- Nonelectrolyte: No acid/base functionality.
- Monoprotic acid: Donates 1 proton/molecule.
- Polyprotic acid: Donates multiple protons/molecule.
- Monoprotic base: Accepts 1 proton/molecule.
- Polyprotic base: Accepts multiple protons/molecule.
- Ampholyte: Exhibits both acid and base functionality.
Functional Group Analysis: Examples
-
Amoxicillin:
- Aliphatic amine: Basic, pKA 10 - 11.
- Carboxylic acid: Acidic, pKA 3 - 5.
- Phenol: Acidic, pKA 8 - 11.
- Amide: No acid/base characteristics.
-
Captopril:
- Thiol: Acidic, pKA 9 - 11.
- Carboxylic acid: Acidic, pKA 3 - 5.
- Amide: No acid/base characteristics.
-
Cefaclor:
- Aliphatic amine: Basic, pKA 10 - 11.
- Carboxylic acid: Acidic, pKA 3 - 5.
- Amide: No acid/base characteristics.
pH Calculations
- pH is calculated using the formula: pH = - log[H3O+].
- pH and pOH relationship: pH + pOH = 14.
- Strong acids (like HCl) and bases (like NaOH) completely dissociate in water.
Acidity Constants
- KA represents the equilibrium constant for a weak acid (HA) dissociation:
- HA ⇌ H3O+ + A−
- pKA can be expressed as: pKA = - log(KA).
- Strong acids have large KA values indicating complete dissociation, resulting in low pKA values (often negative). Weak acids produce smaller KA values reflecting partial dissociation.
