Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.38P
8 In Chapter 22, we will discuss a class of compounds called amino acids, so named because they contain both an amino group and a carboxyl group. Following is a structural formula for the amino
acid alanine.
What would you expect to be the major form of alanine present in aqueous solution (a) at pH 2.0, (b) at pH 5—6, and (c) at pH 11.0? Explain.
