Question
The amino acid alanine has two isomers, such as α-alanine and β-alanine. When equal masses of these two compounds are dissolved in equal mass of a solvent, the solution of α-alanine freezes at relatively lower temperature. Which forms of α-alanine or β-alanine, has the larger equilibrium constant for ionization?
Options
A.α-alanine
B.β-alanine
C.Same for both
D.Unpredictable
Solution
Lower freezing point means greater number of particles and hence, the extent of dissociation of $\alpha$ -alanine is greater.
