- Is p-methylphenol more acidic than phenol? Why or why not?arrow_forwardAmino acids such as glycine are the building blocks of large molecules called proteins that give structure to muscle, tendon, hair, and nails. a. Explain why glycine does not actually exist in the form with all atoms uncharged, but actually exists as a salt called a zwitterion. b. What product is formed when glycine is treated with concentrated HCl? c. What product is formed when glycine is treated with NaOH?arrow_forwardWhat is the conjugate acid of H2PO4-1? Select one: a. H3PO4 b. HPO4-2 c. PO4-3 d. H4PO4+1arrow_forward

(b ) Which form of amphetamine would you expect to be present at pH 7.40, the pH of blood plasma?arrow_forwardThioglycolic acid, HSCH2CO2H, a substance used in depilatory agents (hair removers) has pKa = 3.42. What is the percent dissociation of thioglycolic acid in a buffer solution at pH = 3.0?arrow_forwardThe following pKa values have been measured. Explain why a hydroxyl group in the para position decreases the acidity while a hydroxyl group in the meta position increases the acidity.arrow_forward
