Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
The titration of glycine with sodium hydroxide starts with the ionization of hydrogen ions present on the carboxylic acid group. When all the hydrogen ions present on the carboxylic acid group get neutralised, then the ionization of amino group begins that occurs at point III in the given titration curve. After this stage, the ionization of amino group starts and it reaches at half ionization when 0.5 more equivalents of hydroxyl ions are added to the solution. This drives the neutralization of half of the amino groups of glycine which corresponds to the point IV in the titration curve.

(h)
Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
The charge on the amino acid is zero in the titration curve when the number of protonated amino groups present in the solution is equal to the ionized carboxylic acid group which occurs at the isoelectric point. The isoelectric point is the point when the amino acid exists as zwitter ion in the solution having net charge zero which is defined by the key point III in the given titration curve. At this point, all the carboxylic acid groups present in the solution get titrated and the titration is at its first equivalence point.

(j)
Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
The charge on the amino acid is zero in the titration curve when the number of protonated amino groups present in the solution is equal to the ionized carboxylic acid group which occurs at the isoelectric point. The isoelectric point is the point when the amino acid exists as zwitter ion in the solution having net charge zero which is defined by the key point III in the given titration curve. The species which predominantly exists at the isoelectric point is +H3N-CH2-COO-. Therefore, glycine exists as +H3N-CH2-COO- in the key point III.

Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
The point in the titration curve where glycine is fully titrated is the end point of the titration where all the hydrogen ions present on the amino group and the carboxylic acid group are completely ionized by the hydroxyl ions of the base. At this point amino group is present as NH2 and carboxylic acid group is present as COO- having -1 net charge on the molecule. Therefore, glycine has net charge equal to -1 at the key point V in the given titration curve.

(l)
Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
The stage in the titration curve when half of the carboxylic acid groups get ionized leads to the equal concentration of carboxylic acid and its conjugate base in the solution. The ionization of half of the carboxylic acid groups leads to the formation of equal concentration of the species +H3N-CH2-COOH and +H3N-CH2-COO- which occurs at the key point II. Therefore, the given species predominantly exists as 50:50 mixture of +H3N-CH2-COOH and +H3N-CH2-COO- at key point II in the given titration curve.
