Quinine (C20H24N2O2) a white crystalline bitter tasting powder which was originally used as a preventative medication for malaria. It is a weak base with kb=3.3 x 10^-6 M. However, Quinine is now more commonly used in small concentrations in tonic water. Quinine is responsible for the fluorescent properties when tonic water is under ultraviolet light (blacklights). Due to the toxic effects of quinine the United States limits the quinine content to 83 ppm for each 1 liter bottle.
Write a balanced chemical equation of quinine solid dissolving in water including all phases, and indicate which species is an acid, base, conjugate acid and conjugate base.
Calculate the pH of the tonic water.

Chick-fil-A, a popular fast food restaurant chain, has publicly declared its support for traditional marriage between a man and a woman since 2012. Although they had a period of making corporate donations to nonprofit Christian organizations that advocate the same position, since 2015 they ceased making donations to any organization that promotes discrimination against same sex couples or people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. However, since the election of Donald Trump as president of the U.S., several members of the executive management team have been meeting to discuss a plan for financial support over the next four years for political candidates who support a more conservative political agenda, notably; pro-life/ anti-choice with respect to abortion rights; diminished options in corporate health care plans for reproductive choice, including the birth control pill; expansion of gun rights; and enforcement of border patrol and implementation of stricter immigration policies. A consumer group has received information about this proposed financial plan and wants to sue Chick-fil-A to prevent the company from supporting any such political candidates. The group seeks your advice on the legitimacy and efficacy of a lawsuit. Advise them of their likely or unlikely success.
