Question
Hydroxychloroquine (HQ) was used to treat coronavirus. The proposed mechanism for the action of HQ is to enter into the cytoplasm of the cell and increase intracellular pH from 4.7 to 6.3 and to stop the virus from entering the cell. Looking at the structure of HQ, and the fact that the intracellular pH is increased when HQ is present, how does HQ increase the pH?
Hydroxychloroquine is a weak Bronsted base.
Hydroxychloroquine is a weak Arrhenius base
Hydroxychloroquine is a weak Lewis acid
Hydroxychloroquine is a weak Bronsted acid.

- Kk.268.arrow_forwardPlease answer all 8 blanks please!arrow_forwardIbuprofen is a weak acid with a pK, of 4.9 (structure is shown with the ionizable hydrogen marked with a star). Ibuprofen is absorbed through the stomach and the small intestine. In these tissues, absorption is a function of polarity. Charged and very polar molecules are absorbed slowly; neutral hydrophobic molecules absorb quickly. If the stomach pH is about 1.5 and the small intestine pH is about 6, where (and why) will more ibuprofen be absorbed into the bloodstream? OH HC H3C CH2 CH3 O More ibuprofen will be absorbed in the small intestine because it will be uncharged due to the pH being greater than the pK. O More ibuprofen will be absorbed in the stomach because it will be charged due to the pH being lower than the pK. O More ibuprofen will be absorbed in the small intestine because it will be charged due to the pH being greater than the pk O More ibuprofen will be absorbed in the stomach because it will be uncharged due to the pH being lower than the pK.

- What is the mathematical relation between the pKa and pKb of conjugate acid-base pair in ethanol?arrow_forwardAcetic acid buffer system responds to the addition of OH- ions. How would I write the equation showing the response of the acid?arrow_forwarda) If the Kb of a weak base is 4.7E-9, what is the Ka of its conjugate acid? Do not include any units with your answer. Your answer should have two significant figures. For scientific notation use the same as that in the problem (i.e. 3.3E-2 is the same as 3.3 x 10-2). b) Diethylamine, (CH3CH2)2NH, has a Kb of 8.6 x 10-4. What is the pH of a 0.22 M solution of diethylammonium chloride, [(CH3CH2)2NH2]Cl? Your answer should be to two places past the decimal point.arrow_forward
- A student added a total of 75 mL sodium hydroxide to titrate an amino acid solution with 0.5M NaOH. They also calculated that they added a total of 14 mL of sodium hydroxide to arrive at pH 2.6 and a total of 32 mL of sodium hydroxide to arrvive at pH 4.8.What was the initial concentration of the amino acid solution in milimolar (mM)? The calculations must be presented such that those can be recapitulated by the marker. Provide the answer with no decimal places. Show all details of your working out. State the answer in a full sentence.arrow_forwardGiven an amino acid, be able to draw the structure when it is placed in water at pH = 2, pH = 7, or pH = 13. Is the amine group protonated or not? Is the carboxylic group protonated or not?arrow_forward4. Proteases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins. The enzyme trypsin is a protease that specifically hydrolyzes only those peptide bonds that are formed by the carboxyl group of basic amino acid residues. Trypsin is present in the small intestine where it functions at an optimum pH of 8. Consider the pentapeptide Phe-His-Val-Lys-Glu. Draw the structures of the products formed from trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of this peptide.arrow_forward
- An analytical chemist is titrating 123.4 mL of a 0.2500M solution of propylamine (C₂H-NH₂) with a 0.4100M solution of HNO3. The p K, of propylamine is 3.46. Calculate the pH of the base solution after the chemist has added 15.4 mL of the HNO3 solution to it. Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of HNO3 solution added.
