What will happen if the pH = pKa?
Only acidic functional group that will ionized
The functional group will ionized 50% whether it is base or acid
The functional group will unionized 50% whether it is base or acid
Only basic functional group that will ionized
What will happen when pH > pKa?
The environment is more acidic than functional group
The acidic functional group are primarily ionized
The acidic functional group are primarily unionized
The basic functional group are primarily unionized
Why the functional group on Atenolol primarily ionized at stomach (pH = 1.8).
The environment (i.e., the pH) is more acidic than the functional group
PH < pKa
A basic functional group will be primarily ionized in an acidic environment.
A basic functional group will be primarily unionized in an acidic environment.
Choose which of the following are true?
When pH is less than pKa, the log [Base Form]/[Acid Form] will form a negative value
Acidic functional group are primarily unionized in an acidic environment
In acidic environment, proton are more available
When pH is less than pKa, the log [Base Form]/[Acid Form] will form a positive value
Drug having acidic functional group (pKa = 4.5) at gastric pH 2.1. Which of the following are true?
The log [Base Form]/[Acid Form] will form a negative value
The functional group will primarily ionized
The functional group will primarily unionized
PH > pKa
Based on the diagram above. Choose which are the following are true when the environmental pH = 8.4?
1.3 = log [Base Form]/[Acid Form]
The functional group will unionized
The environment is acidic
The functional group will ionized
Shown above is the structure of natamycin. It contains two functional group that could potentially ionized. The pKa value for natamycin are 4.6 and 8.4.Match the pKa values provided to the appropriate functional group by identify the functional group and state whether its acidic or basic.Then, determine whether it will ionized or not for each functional group at an intestinal pH = 6.2.Choose the correct answer.
Carboxylic Acid, pKa = 4.6, acidic, ionized. At an intestinal pH = 6.2, the environment (i.e., the pH) is more acidic than the functional group (i.e., the pH < pKa). A basic functional group will be primarily ionized in an acidic environment.
Primary amine, pka = 8.4, basic, unionized. At an intestinal pH = 6.2, the environment (i.e., the pH) is more acidic than the functional group (i.e., the pH < pKa). An acidic functional group will be primarily unionized in an acidic environment.
