Using pKa Values to Determine Relative Acidity and Basicity Rank the following compounds in order of increasing acidity, and then rank their conjugate bases in order of increasing basicity.
The antimalaria properties of quinine (C20H24N202) saved thousands of lives
during construction of the Panama Canal. This substance is a classic example of
the medicinal wealth that tropical forests hold. Both N atoms are basic, and the
N of the amine group is far more basic (pKb=4.94) than the N within the
aromatic ring system (pKb=10.54). A saturated solution of quinine in water is
only 4.55x10-3M. What is the pH of this solution? Record your answer with 2
decimals.
NaHCO3 can deprotonate benzoic acid but cannot deprotonate phenol. On the other hand,
NaOH can deprotonate both benzoic acid and phenol. Given this information, rank the
molecules numbered I to V in order of decreasing acidity.

Using pKa values given in Table 4.1, calculate Keq for this equilibrium.arrow_forwardAcid-Base Equilibria Many factors contribute to the acidity of organic compounds. Electronegativity, resonance, induction, hybridization, aromaticity, and atomic size, all play a role. In the following comparisons, you are asked to identify the factor(s) that would be most important to analyze when predicting relative acidity, and then to predict the trend in acidity and pKa values. For each of the following pairs of compounds answer the following two multiple-choice questions. 1. What factor(s) are the most important to consider when predicting the relative acidity of the two compounds? a. Electronegativity of the atom possessing the hydrogen. b. Resonance stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. c. Inductive stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. d. Hybridization of the atom possessing the hydrogen. e. The atomic size of the atom possessing the hydrogen.arrow_forwardLow-molecular-weight dicarboxylic acids normally exhibit two different pKa values. Ionization of the first carboxyl group is easier than the second.
