Popis: | The protonation constants of 2,3-diydroxybenzoic acid (2, 3-DHBA) and malonic acid (MA) at 303.0 ± 0.1 K and 0.16 mol L-1 ionic strength in various concentrations (0–60% v/v) of 1,2-propanediol–water-mixtures were determined by pH-metric method. The protonation constants were calculated with MINIQUAD75 computer program. Selection of the best fit chemical models of the acid–base equilibria was based on statistical parameters. The log K values were found to increase with the increase in percentage of 1,2-propanediol and vary linearly with the reciprocal of the dielectric constant of the medium. This has been attributed to the dominance of electrostatic forces. Distributions of species and effect of influential parameters on the protonation constants are also presented. |
