Question

A mixture contains three amino acids A (pH = 3.2), B (pH = 5.7) and C (pH = 9.7).
When it is subjected to electrophoresis at pH 7 .7 , in which direction will each component of the mixture move?

Difficult
Solution

Since pH of A and B is less than pH (7.7), so they will exist in anionic form and will migrate towards anode.
Since pH of C is greater than the pH of medium, so it will exist in cationic form and migrate towards cathode.
