Question
Chapter 18, Problem 122A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structures and Ka values of any five amino acids are to be written and their strengths are to be compared with weak acids.
Concept introduction:
The Ka value of an acid can be used to determine the acidic strength of any acid.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 122A
The structures and Ka values of five amino acids are given below:
| Amino Acid | Structure | Ka Value |
| Alanine |  |
0.00457 |
| Leucine |  |
0.00436 |
| Valine |  |
0.00478 |
| Serine |  |
0.00616 |
| Glutamine |  |
0.00676 |
These Ka values are very large when compared to the Ka values of weak acids in given table.
Explanation of Solution
The amino acids have stable conjugate bases and therefore they are more acidic when compared to the given weak acids. Hence, the Ka values of amino acids are much larger than those of the given weak acids.
