AA as Acids And Bases Flashcards
1
Q
What is a zwitterion?
A
It’s a molecule that’s net charge is zero due to counteracting charges
2
Q
What’s is the rule with protonation and pka vs pH?
A
Hydrogens are gold diggers so they always go to the bigger number
3
Q
What is pI?
A
It’s the isoelectric point of a molecule and it just stands for the pH that would cause the molecule to be electrically neutral
4
Q
How do you find pI?
A
Finding the average of the 2 pKa values
5
Q
What happens when pKa = pH?
A
A buffer is ideal
