Acid−base equilibrium constants for the two amino groups of the procaine molecule have been determined at 25 °C in different saline media (NaCl, KCl, and CaCl2), by means of potentiometric titrations. The Pitzer model has been used to deal with the ionic strength dependence of activity coefficients, and the parameters proposed by this theory have been obtained, including the thermodymanic dissociation constants, pK
T. Equations describing the dependence of stoichiometric acid−base equilibrium constants versus ionic strength are given.
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.
