Amino acid glycine ( NH 2  CH 2  COOH ) exist as a zwitterion in aq. solution. The Ka and Kb value of
glycine are 1.6 × 10–10 (pKa = 9.8) and 2.5 × 10–12 (pKb = 11.6) respectively. The Ka and Kb values are for

 NH 2  CH 2  COO  + H3O+
NH 3  CH 2  COO  + H2O
Exact expression will yield

[ NH3  CH 2  COOH] + [H+] = [ NH 2  CH 2  COO  ] + [OH–]
since, [H+] > [OH–]

 [ NH 2  CH 2  COO  ] is slightly greater than [ NH3  CH 2  COOH]
 pH must be slightly greater than 6.1
