Ionic Properties of Amino Acids Lab B.1, pages 48 to 64 In lab manual Bronsted Acids and Bases Have groups which can accept or donate hydronium ions (H+) Have acid dissociation constants Ka At pKa ratio of charged to uncharged is 1 Two pH units away from pKa functional groups are completely (almost) charged or discharged. Within this range there exists a ratio between the charged and uncharged groups Amino Acids have at least 2 of these Acid-Base Pairs pH greater than pKa functional group is in its base form (Deprotonated) pH is less than pKa functional group is in its acid form (Proton
