Abstract

p K Values of carboxylic acids have been measured in mixtures water-organic solvent and confronted with the Born equation. Solubilities of benzoic acid have been measured. From the p K and solubilities found the ΔG t 0 (C 6 H 5 COO - ) values have been calculated for various two-component solvents. The results agree with the idea that the ion transfer into another medium is affected not only by electrostatic, but also by non-electrostatic forces.
