Apparent pK values (pK AcOH*) in 99.94% acetic acid/0.06% water (w/w) are determined by potentiometric titration with the aid of a semi‐automatic apparatus equipped with a glass electrode. The accuracy of a single determination is ±0.04 pK*AcOH units (standard deviation, 58 degrees of freedom). The pK AcOH* values of several bases are shown to be in linear relationship with the respective pK values in water and with the σ values of the Hammett equation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
