Q31 / 51 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Biomolecules
Pick out incorrect statement
- Correct answerAIn a electrolysis experiment, -amino acids migrate at the isoelectric point towards electrodes
- Bp-aminobenzenesulphonic acid as a dipolar ion; while p-aminobenzoic acid does not
- CSulphanilic acid is soluble in base, but not in acid
- Dis more acidic than
Solution
A. The pH at which Anion = Cation is called isoelectric point. At isoelectric point, -amino acids do not migrate when electric field is applied.
B. is strongly acidic and donates to weakly basic arylamino group. ArCOOH is not acidic enough to transfer to the arylamino group.
C. In is acid enough to transfer to bases to give the soluble anion, is too feebly basic and cannot accept from acids.
D. group increases acidity, because of its electron-withdrawing inductive effect.
B. is strongly acidic and donates to weakly basic arylamino group. ArCOOH is not acidic enough to transfer to the arylamino group.
C. In is acid enough to transfer to bases to give the soluble anion, is too feebly basic and cannot accept from acids.
D. group increases acidity, because of its electron-withdrawing inductive effect.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
