You have a solution of leucine at 0.1 gram in 100 ml. Give (a) the molar concentrations and (b) the structures of each ionic form of leucine that will be present at pH 7.4. The pKa values for leucine are 2.36 and 9.6.

I got the molar concentration to be 7.63mM for leucine. But what are the two structure of leucine?

.1g     x 1mol  x 1mL = 7.63 mM leucine
100mL  131g    .001L

Please let me know if I did this wrong.

It is the molecular weight of leucine.
