We have seen an introductory definition of an acid: An acid is a compound that reacts with water and increases the amount of hydronium ion present.

Problem 83

The simplest amino acid is glycine, \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{NCH}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{H}\).

An amino acid can function as either an acid or a base. For glycine, the acid strength of the carboxyl group is about the same as that of acetic acid, \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{H},\) and the base strength of the amino group is slightly greater than that of ammonia, \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\). (a) Write the Lewis structures of the ions that form when glycine is dissolved in \(1 M \mathrm{HCl}\) and in \(1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{KOH}\).
