pka 2.% 3 ka 1.7 explain tha observed pka values Solution Lower the pKa represents higher the acidity. pKa 2.6 represents it is highly acidic this is due to alpha amino group (positively charged), it behaves as electron withdrawing group in this case, where as CO2H at pka 4.6 does not have such group at alpha position. compare to oxygen, nitrogen is less electronegative, hence it cannot pull bonding electron pair toward it from hydrogen, hence NH3+ has lesser acidic than carboxylic acid. pka 9.7 only Hope this helped you!
