Table 8. Comparison of Experimental pKa Values of Most Acidic Proton and Those Predicted by ChemAxon.

Ionization class ΔpKa = pKa (experimental) – pKa (Chemaxon) n
all ionizable substances 0.5 ± 2.6 521
just one proton (acid or conjugate acid) 0.1 ± 1.1 166
acids (mono and multiprotic) 0.3 ± 1.9 89
bases (mono and multiprotic) 0.0 ± 1.2 167
amphoteric substances 0.9 ± 3.2 265
