Chemical Behaviour of Chitin and Chitosan

  • Chapter
Chitin Chemistry

Abstract

The dissociation constant Kb, of an amine group is obtained from the equilibrium

$$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - N{H_2} + {H_2}O \rightleftharpoons - \mathop N\limits^ + {H_3}\, + \,O{H^ - }} \\ {\therefore {K_b} = \frac{{\left[ { - \mathop N\limits^ + {H_3}} \right]\left[ {O{H^ - }} \right]}}{{\left[ { - N{H_2}} \right]}}\;and\;p{K_b} = - \log {K_b}} \end{array}$$

while the dissociation constant of the conjugate acid is obtained from the equilibrium

$$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - \mathop N\limits^ + {H_3}\,\, + \,{H_2}O \rightleftharpoons - N{H_2} + {H_3}\mathop O\limits^ + } \\ {\therefore {K_a} = \frac{{\left[ { - N{H_2}} \right]\left[ {{H_3}\mathop O\limits^ + } \right]}}{{\left[ { - N{H_3}} \right]}}\;and\;p{K_b} = - \log {K_a}} \end{array}$$
