Question
Using the table, answer the following question. PLEASE be specific as to how you figured it out. I really do not understand this problem. THANK YOU.
Glycine is the simplest of the amino acids. Treat the amine and carboxylic acid functional groups as independent functional groups. Using pKa values from the pKa supplement, estimate: The ratio of ionized carboxylic acid to neutral carboxylic acid group at pH = 7. The ratio of protonated amine to neutral amine at pH = 7. Please show your work. If you use scientific notation, please use only integer exponents. Here are some particularly useful pKa values for CH 221/223.*Explanation / Answer
A. Ka= [carboxylic acid][H+]/[ionised carboxylic acid]
ratio = 10^-4.5 /10^-7
so ratio = 1062.5
B.Kb= [amine prot]/[amine][H+]
ratio = 10^-5 *10^-7 = 10^-12
