Dissociation constant Carbonate

The amount of carbonic acid present, undissociated or dissociated, is only about 1 of the total concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide. Carbonic acid, in l especi of its dissociation into hydrogen and hydrogencarbonate ions, is actually a stronger acid than acetic acid the dissociation constant is ...

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 ... 

Amino-2-hydroxybenZOiC acid. This derivative (18) more commonly known as 4-aminosa1icy1ic acid, forms white crystals from ethanol, melts with effervescence and darkens on exposure to light and air. A reddish-brown crystalline powder is obtained on recrystallization from ethanol —diethyl ether. The compound is soluble ia dilute solutioas of nitric acid and sodium hydroxide, ethanol, and acetone slightly soluble in water and diethyl ether and virtually insoluble in benzene, chloroform or carbon tetrachloride. It is unstable in aqueous solution and decarboxylates to form 3-amiaophenol. Because of the instabihty of the free acid, it is usually prepared as the hydrochloride salt, mp 224 °C (dec), dissociation constant p 3.25. 

First Carbonation. The process stream OH is raised to 3.0 with carbon dioxide. Juice is recycled either internally or in a separate vessel to provide seed for calcium carbonate growth. Retention time is 15—20 min at 80—85°C. OH of the juice purification process streams is more descriptive than pH for two reasons first, all of the important solution chemistry depends on reactions of the hydroxyl ion rather than of the hydrogen ion and second, the nature of the C0 2 U20-Ca " equiUbria results in a OH which is independent of the temperature of the solution. AH of the temperature effects on the dissociation constant of water are reflected by the pH. 

In the discussion of the relative acidity of carboxylic acids in Chapter 1, the thermodynamic acidity, expressed as the acid dissociation constant, was taken as the measure of acidity. It is straightforward to determine dissociation constants of such adds in aqueous solution by measurement of the titration curve with a pH-sensitive electrode (pH meter). Determination of the acidity of carbon acids is more difficult. Because most are very weak acids, very strong bases are required to cause deprotonation. Water and alcohols are far more acidic than most hydrocarbons and are unsuitable solvents for generation of hydrocarbon anions. Any strong base will deprotonate the solvent rather than the hydrocarbon. For synthetic purposes, aprotic solvents such as ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and dimethoxyethane (DME) are used, but for equilibrium measurements solvents that promote dissociation of ion pairs and ion clusters are preferred. Weakly acidic solvents such as DMSO and cyclohexylamine are used in the preparation of strongly basic carbanions. The high polarity and cation-solvating ability of DMSO facilitate dissociation... 

A very interesting steric effect is shown by the data in Table 7-12 on the rate of acid-catalyzed esterification of aliphatic carboxylic acids. The dissociation constants of these acids are all of the order 1(T, the small variations presumably being caused by minor differences in polar effects. The variations in esterification rates for these acids are quite large, however, so that polar effects are not responsible. Steric effects are, therefore, implicated indeed, this argument and these data were used to obtain the Es steric constants. Newman has drawn attention to the conformational role of the acyl group in limiting access to the carboxyl carbon. He represents maximum steric hindrance to attack as arising from a coiled conformation, shown for M-butyric acid in 5. 

In the range pH 8-10 both sets of equilibria are important. The apparent dissociation constant of carbonic acid is... 

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. 

Table 9 includes data on the first dissociation constants of seven weak acids it will be recalled that we expect these to fall into class III. The table includes the second dissociation constants of five acids, phosphoric, sulfuric, oxalic, malonic, and carbonic, which fall into class IV, while the amino acids glycine and alanine provide four examples that should fall into class II. 

The end point with 100 mL of 0.2M sodium hydrogencarbonate and 0.2M hydrochloric acid may be deduced as follows from the known dissociation constant and concentration of the weak acid. The end point will obviously occur when 100 mL of hydrochloric acid has been added, i.e. the solution now has a total volume of 200 mL. Consequently since the carbonic acid liberated from the sodium hydrogencarbonate (0.02 moles) is now contained in a volume of 200 mL, its concentration is 0.1 M. Kl for carbonic acid has a value of 4.3 x 10 7, and hence we can say ...

The presentation finally descends on the very last of the listed chemical precipitation processes, and this pertains to precipitation implemented by carbonate anions (CO-). The dissolution of carbon dioxide takes place with the formation of the weak diabasic acid, H2C03. The overall dissociation of this acid (dissociation constant, KD) is represented by ... 

Acid-base reactions of buffers act either to add or to remove hydrogen ions to or from the solution so as to maintain a nearly constant equilibrium concentration of H+. For example, carbon dioxide acts as a buffer when it dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which dissociates to carbonate and bicarbonate ions ... 

Values of /c2, the maximal rate constant for disappearance of penicillin at pH 10.24 and 31.5°, and Ka, the cycloheptaamylose-penicillin dissociation constant are presented in Table VII. Two features of these data are noteworthy. In the first place, there is no correlation between the magnitude of the cycloheptaamylose induced rate accelerations and the strength of binding specificity is again manifested in a rate process rather than in the stability of the inclusion complex. Second, the selectivity of cycloheptaamylose toward the various penicillins is somewhat less than the selectivity of the cycloamyloses toward phenyl esters—rate accelerations differ by no more than fivefold throughout the series. As noted by Tutt and Schwartz (1971), selectivity can be correlated with the distance of the reactive center from the nonpolar side chain. Whereas the carbonyl carbon of phenyl acetates is only two atoms removed from the phenyl ring, the reactive center...

The effect of one chlorine atom in different positions can be seen from the dissociation constants for the monochlorobutyric acids. In the series of acids, a chlorine atom can be attached to the carbon atom adjacent to the COOff group or on one of the other carbon atoms. The dissociation constant for butyric acid is 1.5 X 10 1 When a chlorine atom is attached in the three available positions, the dissociation constants are as follows ... 

The evaporative concentration increases the water s ionic strength, which affects the activity coefficients and thus the carbonate solubility and dissociation constants (Butler, 1982). I ignore this effect here, but it should be included in a more realistic simulation.

The ionic conductivity of a solution depends on the viscosity, diffusivity, and dielectric constant of the solvent, and the dissociation constant of the molecule. EFL mixtures can carry charge. The conductivity of perfluoroacetate salts in EFL mixtures of carbon dioxide and methanol is large (10 to 10 " S/cm for salt concentrations of 0.05-5 mM) and increases with salt concentration. The ionic conductivity of tetra-methylammonium bicarbonate (TMAHCO3) in methanol/C02 mixtures has specific conductivities in the range of 9-14 mS/cm for pure methanol at pressures varying from 5.8 to 14.1 MPa, which decreases with added CO2 to a value of 1-2 mS/cm for 0.50 mole fraction CO2 for all pressures studied. When as much as 0.70 mole fraction... 

The pH of methanol/H20/C02 mixtures was measured spectrophotometrically with CO2 proportions as high as 19.2 mol% using pH indicators [28]. Table 9.1 shows the variation of pH of methanol/H20/C02 mixtures as a function of added CO2. Clearly, the impact of added CO2 on the measured pH was not large. As the proportion of CO2 increases, the dielectric constant of the solution decreases and the there is more dissolved CO2 that could dissociate to carbonic acid. The data clearly show that the...
