  • Dissociation Constants and Ph-Titration Curves at Constant Ionic Strength from Electrometric Titrations in Cells Without Liquid
    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS RESEARCH PAPER RP1537 Part of Journal of Research of the N.ational Bureau of Standards, Volume 30, May 1943 DISSOCIATION CONSTANTS AND pH-TITRATION CURVES AT CONSTANT IONIC STRENGTH FROM ELECTRO­ METRIC TITRATIONS IN CELLS WITHOUT LIQUID JUNCTION : TITRATIONS OF FORMIC ACID AND ACETIC ACID By Roger G. Bates, Gerda L. Siegel, and S. F. Acree ABSTRACT An improved method for obtaining the titration curves of monobasic acids is outlined. The sample, 0.005 mole of the sodium salt of the weak acid, is dissolver! in 100 ml of a 0.05-m solution of sodium chloride and titrated electrometrically with an acid-salt mixture in a hydrogen-silver-chloride cell without liquid junction. The acid-salt mixture has the composition: nitric acid, 0.1 m; pot assium nitrate, 0.05 m; sodium chloride, 0.05 m. The titration therefore is performed in a. medium of constant chloride concentration and of practically unchanging ionic­ strength (1'=0.1) . The calculations of pH values and of dissociation constants from the emf values are outlined. The tit ration curves and dissociation constants of formic acid and of acetic acid at 25 0 C were obtained by this method. The pK values (negative logarithms of the dissociation constants) were found to be 3.742 and 4. 754, respectively. CONTENTS Page I .

THE solution of an alkali nitrate, saturatled with hydrogen sulphide, and then acidified with hydrochloric or sulphuric acid, yields sulphur, nitric oxide, and ammonia, but no hydroxylamine,* the presence of this being incompatible with that of what is known as free nitrous acid. When the escaping gases are collected out of contact with air, they slowly deposit sulphur, and do so more quickly on bubbling through water into tlie air, in consequence of reactions between hydrogen sulphide, nitric oxide, and oxygen, but still no hydroxyl- amine appears. When, however, siZz;er nitrite suspended in water is treated with hydrogen sulphide, besides the sulphur, nitric oxide, and ammonia, still abundantly formed, and the silver sulphide, a considerable quantity of hydroxylamine is also produced. On filtering off the silver sulphide, adding hydrochloric acid to convert the hydrosul- phides into hydrochlorides, and evaporating to dryness, a mixture of f NOTEBY EDWARDDIVERS on the dropping the ‘(1” out of the word hydroxyl- ornine.-It seemed to me unnecessary to urge anything in justification of my action when I ventured to use the spelling, hydroxyamine, in a paper which appeared in the Society’s Journal, Trans., 1885, 597 j but the Editor’s note attached to that paper hariq shown me my mistake, I now make good the omission.

  • A MECHANISM for HYDROCHLORIC ACID PRODUCTION in CLOUD GLENN K. W E and VOLKER A. MOHNEN, Department of Atmospheric Science, Stat
    A MECHANISM FOR HYDROCHLORIC ACID PRODUCTION IN CLOUD GLENN K. WE AND VOLKER A. MOHNEN, Department of Atmospheric Science, State University of New York at Albany, Albany, New York 12222; and C. S. KIANG, National Center for Atmospheric Research*, P.O. Box 3000, Boulder, Colorado 80303. ABSTRACT A theoretical model describing the general interaction between atmospheric trace gases, such as SO2, NH3, C02 and 02, chemi- cal reactant gaseous product H2S04 and hydrometeors containing NaCl is proposed to study a possible mechanism for hydro- chloric acid production in non-precipitating cloud and the determination of the pH value of cloud droplets. Four different cloud droplet distributions have been used to estimate the upper limit of the amount of gaseous HC1 released into the atmosphere resulting from the evaporation of cloud droplets. It is shown that the acid production and the amount of HC1 released depend on the following factors: (a) the temperature of the cloud; (b) the oxidation rates; (c) the ambient concentration of SO2, NH3, and H2S04; (d) the life cycle of the cloud; and (el the liquid water content of the cloud. This proposed chemical model also predicts a pH value spectrum depending on the cloud droplet distribution. Field measure- ments for the dependence of pH value on particle size and spatial distribution of gaseous HC1 are recommended. I. INTRODUCTION Recently there is a growing awareness of the acidity of precipita- tion produced by cloud in a polluted environment. Not only because acid rain has detrimental effects on local fishing industry, agricul- tural crops and forest ecosystem, but also it has no country boundary.
