Abstract
IT has been known for some years that the ionization constant, K, of weak acids reaches a maximum value at a certain temperature T m, which is defined by T m = √(A 1/A 3) if K is given by the following function of the absolute temperature1: Here A 1 and A 3 are positive constants, while A 2 may be positive or negative. Equation (1) is valid for all kinds of solvents.
