9. The problem of microscopic ionization constants
The problem of determining acidity microconstants arises systematically when studying the ionization of a polyacid (or polybase).
9.1 Macroscopic and microscopic constants
We only pose the problem in the case of the diacid H—A—H. The diacid can be ionized to give the corresponding monoacid by either route 1 or route 2. In route 1, the monoacid HA – is formed. Let k 11 be the corresponding acidity constant. Following pathway 2, the monobasic acid – AH is formed (figure 10 ). The acidity constant is k ...
