amino acids and ph
« on: July 18, 2014, 10:02:28 AM »
Hi every1...this is jannat.....v r doing qualitative tests on amino acid in r lab...in order to dissolve the amino acid in water v kind of add some alkali or acid to it...i asked my teachers what is the effect of ph on dissolution but didnt get any satisfying answer....i know much about isoelctric point,zwitter ion n ol but the concepts get somewhat mingled when i m to apply dem...so my question is " how does ph of soln effect the solubility of amino acids....

thanks for any replies..

Spelling first….Punctuation Second…..Chemistry Answers Third.  I really don't understand brotha.  Can you further explain so we can help you? :)

High pH equals total deprotanation (Over 10ish).  Acidic, it is protonated still.  Is this what your asking?
