Question:

A handbook that lists only pKa values for weak electrolytes has the following entry for 1,2-ethanediamine, NH2CH2CH2NH2: pK1 = 6.85(+2); pK2 = 9.92(+1), and 2-aminopropanoic acid, NH2CH(CH3)COOH: pK1 = 2.34(+1); pK2 = 9.87(0). Interpret these handbook entries by writing equations for the ionization reactions to which these pK values apply. What are the corresponding values of the base ionization constants Kb1 and Kb2?
