pKa Values of Functional Groups
- Protonated Carbonyl: pKa of -7, indicates strong acidity.
- Protonated Alcohol or Ether: pKa range of -2 to -3, showcasing moderate acidity.
- Carboxylic Acid: Exhibits a pKa of 4 to 5, representing weak acid behavior.
- Ammonium Ion: pKa falls between 9 to 10, displaying its role as a weak base.
- Phenol: Acidity characterized by a pKa of 10, revealing aromatic stability.
- Thiol: Also has a pKa of 10, highlighting its comparable acidity to phenols.
- Alcohol: pKa range of 16 to 18, pointing to weak acidity.
- Water: Displays a pKa of 15.7, underscoring its neutral acidity.
- Amide: pKa of 18, representing weakly acidic nature due to resonance.
- Alpha Proton of Ketone/Aldehyde: pKa of 20, indicating weak acidity associated with carbonyls.
- Alpha Proton of Ester: pKa is 25, reflecting low acidity.
- Terminal Alkyne: Features a pKa of 25, showing weak acidity similar to esters.
