The most acidic proton in ethylacetoacetate is the methylene between the two carbonyl groups. The anion resulting from deprotonation of this methylene can be resonance stabilised onto both carbonyls, making it more stable and therefore easier to form. The net effect is the proton is more acidic compared to ethylacetate where only one resonance structure can be drawn.
A pKa value is a measurement used for bases and acids. The measurement pH applies to hydronium ion concentrations that are in a solution, whereas pKa only applies to determining the amount of dissociation an acid wants to do in a solution.
The pKa values of Amino acids depends on its side chain. However, the protonated amine group (NH3+) tends to have a pKa greater than 8.8, whereas the carboxylic acid (COOH) tends to have a pKa of 1.8 - 2.8. If you keep your amino acid at a pH between this value, you will likely have a Zwitter ion.
pKa=40
how do you calculate pKa
pKa=2.86

pKa = 15
It is around pKa=13
Doxofylline Pka value is about 9.8.
pKa (dissociation constant) is variable with temperature.
The pka of a protonated ether (the conjugate acid) is about -3.5
The pKa of sulfonic acid is < 0
pKa of methanol is 15.5 see this pdf for more information about pka-values: http://chemweb.unp.ac.za/chemistry/Physical_Data/pKa_compilation.pdf
