A strongly alkaline solution of a monoaminodicarboxylic acid contains how many basic groups ?
Answer»
Solution :In STRONGLY alkaline solution of an AMINO acid, all of its —COOH GROUPS are converted into —`COO^(-)`. Thus a strongly alkaline solution of a monoaminodicarboxylic acid will have one —`NH_2` and two —`COO^(-)` groups, all of which are basic in nature. Further, —`NH_(2)`is more basic than a -COO group.
