Answer to Question #63366 in General Chemistry for yousra

Question

In the mid-1930s a substance was isolated from a fungus that is a parasite of ryes and other grasses. This alkaloid, lysergic acid, has been of great interest to chemists because of its strange, dramatic action on the human mind. Many derivatives of lysergic acid are known, some with medicinal applications. Perhaps the best known derivative of lysergic acid is the potent hallucinogen lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD):

Like other alkaloids, LSD is a weak base, with Kb = 7.6 × 10−7. What is the pH of a 0.21 M solution of LSD?

pH =
