    Zwitter ion (amino acid) stabilizes into conjugate acid at

    A)  low pH                       

    B)  high pH

    C)  intermediate pH         

    D)  PI (Isoelectric point)

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[R-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  +N{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-CO{{O}^{-}}\xrightarrow[+{{H}^{+}}]{{}}R-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  +N{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-COOH\] It is naturally predominating in acidic solution to avoid ionisation of?COOH.
