Consider the following sequence for aspartic acid: The pH (Isoelectric point) of aspartic acid is:
Options
- A3.65
- B2.77
- C5.74
- D1.88
Correct answer
B. 2.77
Step-by-step solution
p H = p K 1 + p K 2 2 = 1.88 + 3.65 2 = 5.53 2 = 2.765 ≈ 2.77 At isoelectric point of aspartic acid both carboxylic and amino from co-exist.
