Certain functional groups on the chemical structure of drugs are capable of being protonated/ deprotonated based on the pH of the solution (amine groups as well as carboxylate groups are capable of this). Changing the pH of the solution can change the physical chemistry of a drug by adding or removing protons at certain sites of the molecule. Depending on the molecule, this will either increase or decrease the solubility of the drug.

Is Copper Nitrate Acidic or Basic?
It is acidic. it is formed by the reaction of Copper(2) Hydroxide which is a Weak base and Sulfuric Acid which is a strong Acid. A weak base + strong acid always gives an acidic salt.
Is pH 1 weak or strong?
It is very acidic
Are anti acids acidic or basic?
It's a weak base
Is NH4 a weak acid?
Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is a base. The cation (NH4)+ is low acidic.
If a substance has a pH of 6 is it a strong or weak acid?
Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic. Solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic. Thus, a pH of 6.5 is in fact slightly acidic.
Is handwash a strong acid?
no. it is a weak acidic
Why Is Copper Hydroxide a weak base?
because it has a low solubility in water
What is the effect of a common ion on dissolution rate?
A common ion will reduce the solubility of an electrolyte with an identical ion. The common ion will hence also reduce the dissolution rate of the electrolyte. For example, the solubility of a HCl salt of a weak organic base may be reduced in a HCl solution.
Is Copper Nitrate Acidic or Basic?
It is acidic. it is formed by the reaction of Copper(2) Hydroxide which is a Weak base and Sulfuric Acid which is a strong Acid. A weak base + strong acid always gives an acidic salt.
Is vinegar acidic or neutral?
Acidic. Vinegar contains the weak organic acid acetic acid.
Is pH 1 weak or strong?
It is very acidic
Is H2S acidic?
Yes,it is acidic.But a weak acid.
What is the effect of weak governments?
an effect of the week governments is that they were really weak
Are anti acids acidic or basic?
It's a weak base
How can solubility increase?
1) Strong solute-solvent greater solubility while weak solute-solvent attractions equate to lesser solubility 2) Temperature (for gaz high temperature decrease solubility) 3) Pressure for solubility gaz in liquid 4) Polarity of solvent: Like dissolves like
Is a dilute acidic solution only made from a weak acid?
No a dilute acidic solution can be made from a very strong acid.
Is grape juice an acid or base?
It is an acid, a weak acid.
