PMT 6 The table lists some organic acids and their pKa values. 14 acid ethanoic acid chloroethanoic acid aminoethanoic acid (glycine) formula CH3CO2H Cl CH2CO2H H2NCH2CO2H pKa 4.76 2.86 9.87 (a) (i) State the relationship between pKa and the strength of an acid.[1] (ii) State the mathematical relationship between pKa and the acidity constant Ka.[1] (iii) Give reasons for why the pKa value for chloroethanoic acid is smaller than that for ethanoic acid.[2] (b) (i) Use the zwitterionic structure for aminoethanoic acid (glycine) in aqueous solution to write an equation for its dissociation giving H+(aq) ions.[1] (ii) Calculate the pH of a 0.100 mol dm3 solution of aminoethanoic acid. pH =[2]UCLES 2017 9701/42/M/J/17<br />
 15 A 10.0 cm3 sample of 0.100 mol dm3 aminoethanoic acid (glycine) was titrated with 0.100 mol dm3 NaOH. After 20.0 cm3 of NaOH, an excess, had been added, the pH was found to be 12.5. (iii) Using the following axes, sketch a graph showing how the pH changes during this titration.
