Amino acids can act as acids and as bases why?
Amino Acids, as their name suggests, have a both an amine group (NH2) and a carboxylic (COOH) group. Amine groups are basic and when we treat them with strong acid (like your classic hydrochloric acid), we can protonate them to form NH3+. Carboxylic groups are acidic and when we treat them with strong base (like your classic sodium hydroxide) we can deprotonate them to form (COO-). Amino acids, because they contain both a basic amine group and an acidic carboxylic group, can act as either an acid or a base.
Which pair of functional groups can be part of a condensation reaction form a polymer chain?
a carboxylic acid and an amine group combine to form nylon which is a condensated polymer
What product wil form when Anthranilic acid reacts with ethanol amine in presence of sulfuric acid?
Anthranilic acid + ethanol amine C6H4(NH2)COOH + OHCH2CH2NH2 = C6H4(NH2)COOCH2CH2NH2 + H2O Sulphuric acid(H2SO4) is an acid catalyst which deprotonates the carboxylic group(COOH) of anthranilic acid and removes the hydroxy(OH) group from ethanol amine. The (H+) proton then attaches to the (-OH) to form water(H2O) as a byproduct. The deprotonated carboylate(COO-) group of anthranilic acid then attaches to the the (+CH2CH2NH2) to form the amide/ester product. The structure is amine (NH2 bonded to benzene ring) with (COOCH2CH2NH2) bonded to the ortho position of the benzene ring
Is it true amines react with water to form alkylammonium salts?
No. An amine reacts with an acid to form an Alkylammonium salt. If it reacts with water, Alkylammonium + Hydroxide Ion is produced.
Identify two compounds which react together to form a ester?
Nominally an alcohol and an acid, though in actual practice they're often made with acid chlorides instead of acids per se (the advantage of using an acyl chloride is that that reaction is not reversible, thus it runs to completion instead of coming to equlibrium).
What are the two functional groups that react to form nylon?
A carboxylic acid and an amine react to form nylon.
An amine and a carboxylic acid react to form water and?
Amide on heating.
What does amino acid plus amino acid equal?
An amino acid is one of twenty one compounds that have a carboxylic acid and an amine group. When they combine, they form proteins.
How do ribosomes use nitrogen?
The amine group on one amino acid goes through a condensation reaction with the carboxylic acid of the adjacent amino acid to form a peptide bond.

Does potassium oxide react with a carboxylic acid?
Yes, they react tor form water and the corresponding potassium carboxylate salt.
What common characteristics do all amino acids have?
Their base. A ionized in solution amine group attached to a central chiral carbon, which is attached to a variable R group, a hydrogen and a carboxylic acid, which is the ionized form of a carboxyl group.

What Mechanism involved in Philips condensation reaction?
is a condensation reaction in which an amines are allowed to react with acids to form amides.first amine react with acid and form an amide.again formed amide reacts with an acid to form an second amide called benzimidazole[which has similar structure of benzene] it has basic nucleus of imidazole
