In an electric field, if an amino acid migrates towards cathode, the pH of the solution is said to be

(A) : Amino acids are least solute in water when pH is equal to pI. (R ) : At isoelectric point, the covalency of amino acid dominates.

(A) At isoelectric point, the amino group does not migrate under the influence of electric field. (R) At isoelectric point, amino acid exists as a zwitter ion.

(A): In strong acidic solutions aniline becomes more reactive towards electrophilic reagents. (R): The amino group is completely protonated in strong acidic solution, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen is no longer available for resonance.

alpha - amino acids are high melting crystalline solids because of the zwitterion structure. They are moderately soluble in water. In acidic medium, alpha - amino acids exist as cations (I) and thus migrate towards cathode under the influence of an electric field. On the other hand, in alkaline medium, alpha - amino acids exist as anions (III) and thus migrate towards anode under the influence of an electric field. However, at some intermediate value of p^(H) , the concentration of the cationic form (I) and anionic form (III) will become equal and consequently the alpha - amino acid will exist primarily as the neutral dipolar ion (II). At this p^(H) , there would be no net migration of the amino acid in an electric field. This p^(H) at which there is no net migration of the amino acid under the influence of an applied electric field is called isoelectric point (pI). Each amino acid has a characteristic isoelectric point.

The pH at which an amino acid carries no net charge is called it's

In which of the following case, the forms of amino acid and pH is (are) correctly matched ?

Answer carefully: (a) Two large conducting spheres carrying charges Q_(1) and Q_(2) are brought close to each other. Is the magnitude of electrostatic force between them exactly given by Q_(1),Q_(2)//4pi epsilon_(0)r^(2) , where r is the distance between their centres? (b) If Coulomb’s law involved 1//r^(3) dependence (instead of would Gauss’s law be still true ? (c) A small test charge is released at rest at a point in an electrostatic field configuration. Will it travel along the field line passing through that point? (d) What is the work done by the field of a nucleus in a complete circular orbit of the electron? What if the orbit is elliptical? (e) We know that electric field is discontinuous across the surface of a charged conductor. Is electric potential also discontinuous there? (f) What meaning would you give to the capacitance of a single conductor? (g) Guess a possible reason why water has a much greater dielectric constant (= 80) than say, mica (= 6).
