Q. Paragraph 2
An amino acid reacts with and the final solution has . When of the same base is added in the resulting solution, the becomes . Identify the amino acid and calculate the isoelectric point of the amino acid. This amino acid is prepared by the reaction of compound (X) with and further hydrolysis with . Compound (X) is less atom containing compound that gives positive iodoform test and positive Fehling's solution test.
Isoelectric point of the amino acid is:

Solution:


When partial neutralisation of alanine occurs,
Then,
[salt]=[acid]
and
