Chapter 24.5, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percentages of neutral and protonated forms present in a solution of 0.0010M pyrimidine at pH = 7.3 are to be calculated if the pKa of pyrimidinium ion is 1.3.

Concept introduction:

pH And pKa are related by Henderson-Hasselbalch equation as

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 24.5, Problem 7P , additional homework tip  1

Knowing pH and pKa values, the ratio between the two forms and from which their percentages can be determined.

To calculate:

The percentages of neutral and protonated forms present in a solution of 0.0010M pyrimidine at pH = 7.3, if the pKa of pyrimidinium ion is 1.3.

Answer:

At pH = 7.3, almost 100% pyrimidine molecules exist in the neutral form.

Explanation:

Deprotonation of the ammonium ion of a base can be represented as,

The Henderson-Hasselbalch can be written as

Substituting the values of pH and pKa, we get

Thus the concentration of neutral form is 106 times more than the protonated form. Hence almost 100% pyrimidine molecules exist in the neutral form.

Conclusion:

At pH = 7.3, almost 100% pyrimidine molecules exist in the neutral form.
