Assertion: 2-aminoethanoic acid and p-aminobenzene sulphonic acid can exist as Zwitter ions while p-aminobenzoic acid cannot.
Reason: When the acid group is a relatively strong proton donor and the \(-\mathrm{NH}_2\) group is sufficiently basic it can accept a \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)ion from the acid group to form the dipolar ion.COMEDK 2025 Medium\(0.06\) mole of \(\mathrm{KNO}_{3}\) solid is added to \(100 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\) of water at \(298 \mathrm{~K}\).
