Acid Dissociation Constants at

Thiomahc acid [70-49-5] (mercaptosuccinic acid), C H O S, mol wt = 150.2, is a sulfur analogue of malic acid. The properties of the crystalline, soHd thiomalic acids ate given in Table 6. The racemic acid has the following acid dissociation constants at 25°C pTf i — 3.30 pffc2 — 4.94. 

Both the carboxyl and the mercapto moieties of thioglycolic acid are acidic. Dissociation constants at 25°C are for pR, 3.6 pi, 10.5. ThioglycoHc acid is miscible ia water, ether, chloroform, dichloroethane and esters. It is weakly soluble ia aHphatic hydrocarbons such as heptane, hexane. Solvents such as alcohols and ketones can also react with thioglycolic acid.

Here is the acid dissociation constant in the presence or absence of a surfactant, and is the acid dissociation constant at zero surface potential. 

We can turn the above arguments around and compare the strengths of weak bases, A , such as acetate, by the extent to which they can retrieve a proton from water. A base, A , removes a proton from water to form hydroxide ion and the conjugate acid, HA. The base dissociation constant, for the reaction is analogous to the acid dissociation constant, AT. 

The plT at which an acid-base indicator changes color is determined by its acid dissociation constant. For an indicator that is a monoprotic weak acid, ITIn, the following dissociation reaction occurs... 

The physical properties of cyanoacetic acid [372-09-8] and two of its ester derivatives are Hsted ia Table 11 (82). The parent acid is a strong organic acid with a dissociation constant at 25°C of 3.36 x 10. It is prepared by the reaction of chloroacetic acid with sodium cyanide. It is hygroscopic and highly soluble ia alcohols and diethyl ether but iasoluble ia both aromatic and aUphatic hydrocarbons. It undergoes typical nitrile and acid reactions but the presence of the nitrile and the carboxyUc acid on the same carbon cause the hydrogens on C-2 to be readily replaced. The resulting malonic acid derivative decarboxylates to a substituted acrylonitrile ... 

A more concentrated solution of HOBr can be prepared by filtration of one of the above solutions and distillation in vacuum. Or the mercuric oxide reaction can be carried out in Freon 11 without water, yielding a solution of bromine monoxide which is filtered and hydrolyzed. Hypobromous acid is slightly ionized its dissociation constant at 25°C is 2 x 10 . ...

Salts are obtained by direct neutralization of the acid with appropriate oxides, hydroxides, or carbonates. Sulfamic acid is a diy, non-volatile, non-hygroscopic, colourless, white, crystalline solid of considerable stability. It melts at 205°, begins to decompose at 210°, and at 260° rapidly gives a mixture of SO2, SO3, N2, H2O, etc. It is a strong acid (dissociation constant 1.01 x 10 at 25° solubility 25gper 100g H2O) and, because of its physical form and stability, is a convenient standard for acidimetry. Over 50000 tonnes are manufactured annually and its principal applications are in formulations for metal cleaners, scale removers, detergents and stabilizers for chlorine in aqueous solution. 

If a methyl group replaces a hydrogen atom on the carbon of the C==N bond across which addition of water occurs, a considerable reduction in the extent of water addition is observed. Conversely, the existence of such a blocking effect can be used as a provisional indication of the site at which addition of water occurs, while the spectrum and acid dissociation constant of the methyl derivative provide a useful indication of the corresponding properties of the anhydrous parent substance. Examples of the effect of such a methyl group on equilibria are given in Table IV. 

Apparent partition coefficient (logZ)) at an ionic strength of / = 0.02M, log P value of the neutral microspecies and the acidic dissociation constant of 5 was calculated (97ANC4143).

For very weak or slightly ionised electrolyes, the expression a2/( 1 — a) V = K reduces to a2 = KV or a = fKV, since a may be neglected in comparison with unity. Hence for any two weak acids or bases at a given dilution V (in L), we have a1 = y/K1 V and a2 = yjK2V, or ol1/ol2 = Jk1/ /K2. Expressed in words, for any two weak or slightly dissociated electrolytes at equal dilutions, the degrees of dissociation are proportional to the square roots of their ionisation constants. Some values for the dissociation constants at 25 °C for weak acids and bases are collected in Appendix 7.
