Chemistry

Codeine (C18H21NO3) is anarcotic pain reliever titrated with HCL. What is the pH of a0.0500 M codeine hydrochloride solution with a pKa of5.80? Note the titrated form of codeine hydrochloride will act as aweak acid due to the formation of soluble ammonium salt.

Since codeine hydrochloride act as acid, in short lets write the symbol as BH+


use:
pKa = -log Ka
5.8 = -log Ka
Ka = 1.585*10^-6

BH+ dissociates as:

BH+          ----->     H+   + B
5*10^-2                 0         0
5*10^-2-x               x         x


Ka = [H+][B]/[BH+]
Ka = x*x/(c-x)
Assuming x can be ignored as compared to c
So, above expression becomes

Ka = x*x/(c)
so, x = sqrt (Ka*c)
x = sqrt ((1.585*10^-6)*5*10^-2) = 2.815*10^-4

since c is much greater than x, our assumption is correct
so, x = 2.815*10^-4 M



So, [H+] = x = 2.815*10^-4 M


use:
pH = -log [H+]
= -log (2.815*10^-4)
= 3.5505
Answer: 3.55
