Question

What are the functional groups of Glycine, Formic acid and Acetic Acid.?

Answer 1

All reagents have carboxyl groups. Glycine, has an amino group on the other end of the carbon chain.

Explanation:

`H_3C-C(=O)OH`, acetic acid, `HC(=O)OH`, formic acid, `H_2NCH_2C(=O)OH`, glycine.

Of course, glycine forms a zwitterion in aqueous solution: `H_3^+NCH_2C(=O)O^-`.
