19. Draw the formulas of prevailing forms of amino acids at given pH values: General procedure of solving such problems Draw maximally protonated form of amino acid. Assign the pKA values to all acidic groups. In each acidic group separately (!), decide whether it is, at the pH given, dissociated or not. If pH < pKA = the corresponding acidic group is predominantly protonated. If pH > pKA = the corresponding acidic group is predominantly deprotonated (dissociated). If pH = pKA = the corresponding acidic group is dissociated exactly from 50 %. a. alanine at pH a) 1 b) 6 c) 11 (PKAI = 2.4; PKA2 = 9.9).
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
