Chapter 14, Problem 14.37CP
The following pictures represent aqueous solutions of three acids HA (A = X, Y, or Z); water molecules have been omitted for clarity:
- (a) Which conjugate base (A– =X– ,Y– , or Z– ) has the largest value of Kb?
- (b) Which A– ion is the weakest base?

The simplest amino acid is glycine, H2NCH2CO2H. The common feature of amino acids is that they contain the functional groups: an amine group, –NH2, and a carboxylic acid group, –CO2H. An amino acid can function aseither an acid or a base. For glycine, the acid strength of the carboxyl group is about the same as that of acetic acid, CH3CO2H, and the base strength of the amino group is slightly greater than that of ammonia, NH3.(a) Write the Lewis structures of the ions that form when glycine is dissolved in 1 M HCl and in 1 M KOH.(b) Write the Lewis structure of glycine when this amino acid is dissolved in water.
The hypochlorite ion, ClO-, acts as a weak base. When ClO- acts as a base, which atom, Cl or O, acts as the proton acceptor?
Discuss the justification for this statement: “Although one does not normally regard NH+4 as an acid, it is actually only slightly weaker as an acid than hydrocyanic acid, HCN, in aqueous solution.”
