THE POLAROGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF THE CONCENTRATION OF WEAK ACIDS
Abstract
It was found that weak acids produce diffusion currents of hydrogen with potentials of about -1.6, -1.8 V only in a background solution of indifferent electrolytes. Between the diffusion current constant of hydrogen and the dissociation constant of weak acid there is a relationship of the form Kd = a + b log Kc, which may be used to calculate the dissociation constant of the acid. It was established that a linear relationship is maintained between the diffusion current and the concentration of the acid.
