Calculation of PKa

tapira1 - 9-3-2014 at 15:10

Need a program able to calculate the PKa of a molecule having three functional groups with labile hydrogens. My copy of ACD is unable to do that. Which other program can be used in its place?
Thanks for your consideration.

take this for reference:

in which,
pKa = -∆G/2.303RT,
∆G = ∆G gas-phase + ∆G solvation(B-H+) -∆G solvation(B) - ∆G solvation(H+)
