Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The equation for the acid-base reaction should be completed assuming 1 mol of HCl for every mole of amino acid.
Concept Introduction:
Acid and base react together to form salt and water. This reaction is called as neutralization reaction. Amino acids have both acidic and basic group. Therefore, they can exist as zwitter ion in which −COO- and −NH3 + group is present.
