    Do you think you'll be able to do any videos on polymerisation before the F324 exams in June? I'm really struggling with it :( many thanks for your great work!! You are really helping me achieve my A, hopefully!!

    Hello, thank you for the video! Looking at the example where lysine is in the pH of 10.59? I see that NH3+ donates a proton as -OH acts as a base, but why can't the NH2 donate a another proton to form NH and then further donate to form N2+? Thanks

    Hello there :) just to clarify, in alkaline hydrolysis does one of the H+ from the NH3+ join with the OH- ions to form water? if yes is it necessary to include the water molecule when writing out the equation?? Thankss!

    Hi, thanks for your videos! They're great! Just one question, why does an -NH2 group on the side chain make the isoelectric point higher, and a -COOH group on a side chain lower the isoelectric point?

    The NH2 group is a base (H+ acceptor) and the COOH group is an acid (H+ donor)

    +MaChemGuy How does this result in the isoelectric points changing? Thanks!

    +Rach J The answer is way beyond A level but it's to do with the fact that amino acids have 2 pKa's and the isoelectric point is midway between the two. Adding extra groups to the R group alters the midpoint. See www.mhhe.com/physsci/chemistry/carey5e/Ch27/ch27-1-4.html if you really want to know.

    sir just a quick question, when the zwitterion is below its isoelectric point ( acidic) , i thought its NH2 instead of NH3 >

    I think about it as below Isoelectric point (more acidic) there are loads of H+ so NH+ and COOH. But above the IP, there is an absence of H+, this means all H+ taken so NH2 and -COO. I hope I helped.

    Hey sir, was just wondering are zwitterions and triglycerides still present in new spec OCR A Chemistry ?? Thanks in advance

    Yasmin Mohammed Both have gone. Wouldn’t put it past ocr to ask a suggest question around triglycerides but they’d give you a lot of the necessary information in the question (ie you’re not expected to know in advance)
