The antimalarial properties of quinine (C20H24N2O2) saved thousands of lives during construction of the Panama Canal. This substance is a classic example of the medicinal wealth of tropical forests. Both N atoms are basic, but the N (coloured) of the 3amine group is far more basic (pKb =5.1) than the N within the aromatic ring system (pKb =9.7).

(a) A saturated solution of quinine in water is only1.6×10-3M. What is the pH of this solution?

(b) Show that the aromatic N contributes negligibly to the pH of the solution.

(c) Because of its low solubility, quinine is given as the salt quinine hydrochloride(C20H24N2O2×HCl),which is 120times more soluble than quinine. What is the pH ofM quinine hydrochloride?

(d) An antimalarial concentration in water is 15% quinine hydrochloride by mass (d 1.0g/mL). What is the pH?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. pH=10.052
  2. The ions produced by the aromatic amine do not affect the overall total of ions significantly
  3. The pH of 0.33Mquinine hydrochloride is role="math" localid="1663266152189" 4.70.
  4. pH=5.14

Step by step solution

01

To find the pH

(a)

First write the reaction equation between quinine and water.

C20H24N2O2+H2O⇌HC20H24N2O2++OH-

Next, construct the ICE table to obtain the equation for Kb.

Kb=OH-HC20H24N2O2+C20H24N2O2

Kb=x21.6×10-3-x

First, solve for theKbfrom the givenpKbof the tertiary amine group because it is the amine that has a significant effect on the pill.

pKb=-logKbKb=10pKsKb=10-5.1Kb=7.94×10-6

We know that x=HC20H21N2O2+=OH-.

Since C20H24N2Ois a weak base, its Kbmust be very small. So, assume that the x has no effect on 1.6×10-3in the denominator. Then substitute the Kbto solve for x.

Kb=x21.6×10-3x2=Kb1.6×10-3x=7.94×10-61.6×10-3x=1.13×10-4

Since x=HC20H24N2O2+=OH-thenOH-=1.13×10-4M.

02

To solve for pOH

Solve for the pOH.

pOH=-logOH-=-log1.13×10-4pOH=3.948

Lastly, solve for the pH.

pH+pOH=14pH=14-pOH=14-3.948pH=10.052

Hence the pH is 10.052.

03

Step 3:To Show that the aromatic N

(b)

The ICE table was already constructed in the previous problem, we can proceed directly to solvingKbfrom the givenpKbof the aromatic amine.

pKb=-logKbKb=10-pKbKb=10-9.7Kb=2.00×10-10

We know that x=HC20H24N2O2+=OH-. Since C20H24N2O2is a weak base, its Kbmust be very small. So, assume that the x has no effect on 1.6×10-3the denominator. Then substitute the localid="1663268370941" Kbto solve for x.

Kb=x21.6×10-3x2=Kb1.6×10-3x=Kb1.6×10-3x=2.00×10-101.6×10-3x=5.65×10-7

amine,

TotalOH-=5.65×10-5M+1.13×10-4=1.14×10-4

Solve for the pOH.

pOH=-logOH-=-log1.14×10-4pOH=3.945

Lastly, solve for the pH.

pH+pOH=14pH=14-pOHpH=14-3.948pH=10.055

If we compare the pH from (a) and the pH we obtained from calculating the totalOH-, they are approximately equal:10.052≫10.055

Hence The ions produced by the aromatic amine do not affect the overall total of ions significantly.

To find the pH of M quinine hydrochloride

(c)

First, the salt will dissolve in water.

C20H24N2O2·HCl+H2O→HC20H24N2O2++Cl-

Then HC20H24N2O2+will react, with water.

HC20H21N2O2++H2O⇌C20H24N2O2+H3O+

Next, construct the ICF table to obtain the equation forKa-

Ka=H3O+C20H24N2O2HC20H24N2O2+Ka=x20.33-x

First, solve for theKafrom the givenKbof the tertiary amine.

localid="1663269283288" Kw=Kb×KaKa=KwKb

Ka=1×107.94×10-6Ka=1.26×10-9

We know that localid="1663271326291" x=[C20H24N2O2]=[H3O+].Since localid="1663271340268" HC20H24N2O2+is a weak acid, its localid="1663271354507" Kamust be very small. So, assume that the x has no denominator. Then substitute theto solve localid="1663271371123" Ka for x.

Ka=x20.33x2=Ka(0.33)x=Ka(0.33)x=1.26×10-9(0.33)x=2.04×10-5

Since x=C20H24N2O2=H3O+,thenH3O+=2.04×10-5M.

Lastly, solve for the pH

pH=-logH3O+pH=-log2.04×10-5pH=4.70

Hence the pH of 0.33Mquinine hydrochloride islocalid="1663269916463" 4.70.

05

To find the pH

(d)

First, solve for the concentration of quinine hydrochloride.

M=1.0gmL×1L1000mL×1molC20H24N2O2×HCl360.87gC20H24N2O2×HCl=2.77M

C20H24N2O2×HCl⇌HC20H24N2O2++Cl-

Solve for the role="math" localid="1663270350638" HC20H24N2O2+

HC20H24N2O2+=C20H24N2O2×HCl×0.015=4.2×10-2M

Then quinine ion will react with water.

HC20H24N2O2++H2O=C20H24N2O2+H3O+

Next, construct the ICE table to obtain the equation for Ka

Ka=H3O+C20H24N2O2HC20H24N2O2+

Ka=x24.2×10-2-x

We know that x=C20H24N2O2=H3O+. Since HC20H24N2O2+is a weak acid, its Kamust be very small. So, assume that the x has no effect on 4.2×10-2Mthe denominator. Then substitute theKa to solve for x.

Ka=x24.2×10-2x2=Ka4.2×10-2x=Ka4.2×10-2x=1.26×10-94.2×10-2x=7.24×10-6

Since x=[C20H24N2O2]=[H3O+]then role="math" localid="1663270949668" H3O+=7.24×10-6M.

Lastly, solve for the pH.

pH=-logH3O+pH=-log7.24×10-6pH=5.14

Hence the pH is role="math" localid="1663271099862" 5.14
