    Alanine forms Zwitter ion which exists as

    A) \[C{{H}_{3}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \oplus N{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,HCO{{O}^{-}}\]in acidic medium

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \oplus N{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,HCOOH\]in a medium of\[pH=4\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  N{{H}_{2}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,HCO{{O}^{-}}\]in a medium of\[pH=1\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  N{{H}_{2}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,HCO{{O}^{-}}\]in a medium of\[pH=2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  N{{H}_{2}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,HCOOHC{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  \oplus N{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,HCO{{O}^{-}}\]                 \[\xrightarrow[acidic]{{{H}^{+}}}\,C{{H}_{3}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  \oplus N{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,HCOOH\]                                                 \[(pH=4,\,\,1\,\,or\,\,2)\]
