Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the titration curve
  • The titration curve for histidine shows pH changes as OH- equivalents are added.
  • Key points on the curve are labeled 1 through 6.
Step 2: Determine the predominant form at label 1
  • At label 1, the pH is around 9.
  • Histidine has three pKa values: approximately 1.8 (carboxyl group), 6.0 (imidazole group), and 9.2 (amino group).
  • At pH 9, the predominant form of histidine is His^0 (neutral), not His^2+.
Step 3: Determine the net charge at label 2
  • At label 2, the pH is around 10.
  • At this pH, the carboxyl group is deprotonated (-1), the imidazole group is neutral (0), and the amino group is deprotonated (0).
  • The net charge is -1.
