Acid dissociation constant of the carboxyl radical. Pulse radiolysis studies of aqueous solutions of formic acid and sodium formate

Abstract: Pulse radiolysis of aqueous solutions of formic acid and formate ion in the pH range 0-13 shows (i) that the absorption spectrum of the carboxyl radical is constant between pH 2.5 and 13, but decreases in intensity between pH 2.5 and 0 ; (ii) that the effect of ionic strength on the rate of reaction of the radical with itself is the same at pH 2.7 and 7 and is consistent with the radical having unit negative charge at pH 2.7. The data presented indicate that the pK of the radical is 1.4.

“…While the strongly reducing radical C02; reduces Fc+ with 100% efficiency, even though the rate constant for its dimerization is quite high (24), other reducing radicals such as C H~~( O H ) C O~-and ~H ( O H ) C O~-reacted more slowly (1) with Fc+. Clearly in this system high efficiency in reducing Fc+ requires that the redox reaction is virtually diffusion controlled.…”

“…At pH 5, the oxalate exists essentially as the dianion, which has a lower rate constant (reaction 1181) than at lower pH's where the oxalic acid is in the mono-anion form (reaction [17]). …”
