(a)
Interpretation:
Glycine dissolved in pure water whether will have a protonated COOH group and an unprotonated NH2 group has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Dissociation constant of acid:
An acid dissociation constant (Ka) is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution.
Dissociation constant of base:
A base dissociation constant (Kb) is a quantitative measure of the strength of a base in solution.
Zwitterion:
This term is used mostly in case of amino acids. Zwitterion is a molecule with two or more
(b)
Interpretation:
[+NH3CH2COO−]/[+NH3CH2COOH] ratio has to be determined at pH 5.5.
Concept Introduction:
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:
The Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation can be written for any conjugate acid–base pair as given bellow,
pH=pKa+log([Base][Acid])
Where,
pH = -log[H3O+]pKa= -logKaKa= Dissociation constant of acid[Base]= Concentration of base[Acid]= Concentration of acid
(c)
Interpretation:
Structure of lysine at pH 1, physiological pH(∼ 7) and pH 13 has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Acidic pH means H+ ions are available. In other words, the concentration of H+ ion is more. So the base present in the system will be protonated.
Basic pH means the concentration of H+ ion is less, the concentration of OH− ion is more. So the acid present in the system will be deprotonated.
Physiological pH(∼ 7) means neutral. The concentration of H+ ion and OH− ion are same. At such condition zwitterion will be formed.
Zwitterion:
This word is used mostly in case of amino acids. Zwitterion is a molecule with two or more functional groups, of which at least one has a positive and one has a negative electrical charge and the net charge of the entire molecule is zero.
(d)
Interpretation:
The structure of glutamic acid at pH 1, physiological pH(∼ 7) and pH 13 has to be identified from the given options.
