Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 17.27P
Low-molecular-weight dicarboxylic acids normally exhibit two different pKa values. Ionization of the first carboxyl group is easier than the second. This effect diminishes with molecular size, and for adipic acid and longer chain dicarboxylic acids, the two acid ionization constants differ by about one pK unit.
Why do the two pKa values differ more for the shorter chain dicarboxylic acids than for the longer chain dicarboxylic acids?
