The amino acid glycine 1H2NCH2COOH2 can participate in the

Problem 16.114 The amino acid glycine (H N CH COOH) can participate in the following equilibria in water: 2 2H N CH COOH + H O H N CH COO + H O K = 4.3 x 10 - + -3 2 2 2 2 2 3 aH N CH COOH + H O H N CH COOH + OH K = 6.0 x 10 - -5 2 2 2 3 2 b(a) Use the values of Ka and Kb to estimate the equilibrium constant for the intramolecularproton transfer to form a zwitterion:H N CH COOH +H N CH COO - 2 2 3 2(b) What is the pH of a 0.050 M aqueous solution of glycine(c) What would be the predominant form of glycine in a solution with pH 13 With pH 1 Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 6 ^(A) Glycine behaves in equilibrium with H O. 2H N CH COOH + H O H N CH COO + H O Ka = 4.3 x 10 - + -3 2 2 2 2 2 3H N CH COOH + H O H N CH COOH + OH K = 6.0 x 10 - -5 2 2 2 3 2 b
