Some coca cola products contain small amounts of (food grade) phosphoric acid. Why might the presence of this acid lead some people to identify coca cola as a helpful remedy for stomach aches?
Compounds like amphetamine that contain nitrogen atoms are protonated by the HCl in the gastric juices of the stomach, and the resulting salt is then deprotonated in the basic environment of the intestines to regenerate the neutral form. Write proton transfer reactions for both of these processes. In which form will amphetamine pass through a cell membrane?
Phenols are aromatic rings with an alcohol functional group attached directly to the ring. These compounds have unique acidity and solubility for alcohol groups. Phenolic functional groups are weak acids. Predict the solubility of the conjugate base of phenol in water.

- A drop of phenolphthalein is added to a test tube containing a solution of ammonium hydroxide. The solution turns from clear to pink. When ammonium chloride is added to the test tube, the solution turns clear. Explain your observation. The equilibrium shifts left. Therefore the hydroxide concentration decreases and the solution becomes acidic. The equilibrium shifts right. Therefore the hydroxide concentration decreases and the solution becomes acidic. O The equilibrium shifts left. More ammonium hydroxide ionizes, so the solution becomes more basic. The equilibrium shifts left because the ammonia concentration decreases and the solution becomes more acidic.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_forwardCompare the processes that occur when methanol (CH3OH), hydrogen chloride (HCI), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) dissolve in water. Write equations and prepare sketches showing the form in which each of these compounds is present in its respective solution.arrow_forward
