Question

What is the pH of 0.01 m glycine solution ? for glycine, Ka1 = 4.5 × 10-3 and Ka2 = 1.7 × 10-10 at 298K ?

Options

A.3.0
B.10.0
C.6.1
D.7.1

Solution

For glycine solution ;
K = Ka1 × Ka2
= 4.5 × 10-13 × 1.7 × 10-10
= 7.65 × 10-13+] =
= = 8.7 × 10-8
Hence, pH = - log[H+]
= - log[8.7 × 10-8]
= - (log10-8 + log8.7)
8 - 0.93 = 7.07 ≈ 7.1
