- Dicarboxylic acids have two dissociation constants, one for the initial dissociation into a monoanion and one for the second dissociation into a dianion. For oxalic acid, HO2C—CO2H, the first ionization constant is pKal = 1.2 and the second ionization constant is pKa2 = 4.2. Why is the second carboxyl group far less acidic than the first?arrow_forwardBoth mepivacaine and bupivacaine are local anesthetics used in epidural blocks. Mepivacaine has a pKa of 7.6, whereas bupivacaine has a pKa of 8.1.
