What is true about zwitter ion.
`H_(3)N^(+)CH_(2)COO?`

A

`NH_(2)CH_(2)COO^(-)` is its conjugate base

B

`H_(3)N ^(+)CH_(2)COOH` is its conjugate acid

C

Both (A) and (B)

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`underset("acid")(H_(3)overset(+)(N)H_(2)COO^(-))hArr underset(" Conjugate base")(H_(3)NCH_(2)COO^(-))+H^(+)`
`underset("Base")(H_(3)overset(+)(N)CH_(2)COO^(-))+H^(+) hArr underset(" Conjugate acid")(H_(3)overset(+)(N)CHOOH)`
