Q18.180CP Putrescine,[NH2(CH2)4NH2]聽found... [FREE SOLUTION]

Chapter 18: Q18.180CP (page 829)

Putrescine, $[{NH}_{2} {({CH}_{2})}_{4} {NH}_{2}]$ foundin rotting animal tissue, is now known to be in all cells and essential for normal and abnormal (cancerous) growth. It also plays a key role in the formation of GABA, a neurotransmitter. A aqueous solution of putrescine has[ $O H^{-}]$ = ${2.1脳10}^{-3}$ . What isthe $K_{b}$ ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

_{$K_{b} {=4.41脳10}^{-5}$}

Step by step solution

To find Kb

$[{NH}_{2} {({CH}_{2})}_{4} {NH}_{2}] =0.10M [{OH}^{-}] {=2.1脳10}^{-3}$ First, write the reaction equation of putescine with water.

${NH}_{2} {({CH}_{2})}_{4} {NH}_{2} + H_{2} O 鈬� {NH}_{2} {({CH}_{2})}_{4} {NH}_{3}^{+} + {OH}^{鈭�}$ Next, write the $K_{b}$ expression.

$\begin{array}{l} K_{b} = \frac{[product]}{[reactant]} \\ K_{b} = \frac{[{NH}_{2} {({CH}_{2})}_{4} {NH}_{3}^{+}] [{OH}^{-}]}{[{NH}_{2} {({CH}_{2})}_{4} {NH}_{2}]} \end{array}$

Note that $[{OH}^{-}] = [{NH}_{2} {({CH}_{2})}_{4} {NH}_{3}^{+}]$ since they are produced 1 mole each.

$\begin{matrix} K_{b} = \frac{[{NH}_{2} {({CH}_{2})}_{4} {NH}_{3}^{+}] [{OH}^{-}]}{[{NH}_{2} {({CH}_{2})}_{4} {NNH}_{2}]} \\ = \frac{{[{OH}^{-}]}^{2}}{[{NH}_{2} {({CH}_{2})}_{4} {NH}_{2}]} \\ = \frac{{({2.1脳10}^{-3})}^{2}}{0.10} \\ K_{b} {=4.41脳10}^{-5} \end{matrix}$

Hence $K_{b} {=4.41脳10}^{-5}$
