Chapter 22, Problem 56P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference in the pKa values of the carboxyl groups of alanine, serine and cysteine has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The value of pKa is depends upon the acidity of a compound or the easiness of the protonation.

If the acidity or easiness of the protonation is high for a compound, then the value of the pKa is less.

The structure of alanine is,
