Oxycodone (C18H21NO4), a narcotic analgesic, is a weak base with pKb = 5.47. Calculate the pH of a .00500 M oxycodone solution.

pH = 10.11

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since it is possible to realize that this base is able to acquire one hydrogen atom from the water:

We can therefore set up the corresponding equilibrium expression:

Which can be written in terms of the reaction extent, :

Thus, by solving for we obtain:

However, since negative solutions are now allowed, we infer the correct is 0.0001285 M; thus, the pOH can be computed:

And finally the pH:

Best regards!

weight of any object is given by

w = m*g

where m is mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

for earth the value of g is 9.8 m/s^2 so

w=117.6 n m=12 g=?

117.6=12g => g=9.8 m/s^2

which is the force of gravity on earth.
