Why the ph of glycine increases when 0.1 M NaOH is added dropwise​

Chemistry
1 answer:
shtirl [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The acid-base reaction produces glycine reduction, and hence the increase of glycine pH.

Explanation:

The glycine is an amino acid with the following chemical formula:

NH₂CH₂COOH  

The COOH functional group is what gives the acid properties in the molecule.      

Hence, when NaOH is added to glycine an acid-base reaction takes place in which COOH reacts with the NaOH added:

NH₂CH₂COOH + OH⁻ ⇄ NH₂CH₂COO⁻ + H₂O

The glycine concentration starts to shift to its ion form (NH₂CH₂COO⁻) because of the reaction with NaOH, that is why the pH glycine increases when NaOH is added.  

Therefore, the acid-base reaction produces glycine reduction, and hence the increase of glycine pH.  

I hope it helps you!

Why is it important to start at the zero mark of a ruler/meterstick + triple beam balance when making measurements?
sergeinik [125]
Because if you start at one for example you starting at a extra cm/m/mm. So when you get your measurement result it will be wrong by just one cm/m/mm. Hope this wasn't too confusing.
