The ionic product of water, pKw = –log[H+][OH–], has been determined as a function of ionic strength (I ) in concentrated aqueous solutions of KCl, KBr and KI at 25˚C by high-precision glass electrode potentiometric titrations. The pKw values obtained are in excellent agreement with, but generally more precise than, literature data. At I > 1 M the pKw values increase smoothly and show systematic differences in the order KCl < KBr < KI, consistent with the decreasing H+-acceptor ability of the medium anions. Analogous behaviour is observed in MCl solutions, with pKw values varying in the order NaCl < KCl < CsCl. Formation constants of MOH0 ion pairs derived from these data are consistent with literature values.

Abstract Dissociation constants of amonium ion (Ka= [H +][NH3]/[NH4+], where [ ] denotes the con­centration) in 20 mass % ethanol + water mixtures with different concentrations of sodium chloride were determined by means of a glass electrode. The dissociation constants in pKa units (on molarity and molality bases) increase linearly with increasing ionic strength. Activ­ity coefficients of ammonia in the ethanol + water mixtures were determined by a transpiration method. The observed dissociation constants on the molality scale were compared with those calculated from the Pitzer equations modified on the basis of the principles of corre­sponding states. The observed values agreed with the calculated ones almost within experi­mental uncertainties.

First and second apparent stability constants for cobalt(II) with oxalate ion have been determined using solvent extraction. Data were collected in 0.3 m to 5.0 m NaCl aqueous solutions. The logarithms of first stability constant ranged from 3.30 ± 0.03 to 3.57 ± 0.03 and second stability constant ranged from 5.49 ± 0.05 to 6.02 ± 0.06. The data were modeled using the Pitzer equations. For the 1:1 complex, values of the μ

Fundamental and applied research into aqueous and non-aqueous solutions of strong and weak electrolytes remains to be highly relevant, which fact is confirmed by a large number of Russian and foreign publications. In almost all such publications, acid-base interactions are considered exclusively with regard to changes in hydrogen ion concentrations. However, the ionic strength of solutions is determined by all ions present in the system, the concentration of which varies during interactions. This is particularly true for potentiometric titration of strong and weak electrolytes not only in aqueous, but also in more complex non-aqueous solutions, which differ significantly in their basic properties (dielectric constant, ionic product, dipole moment, viscosity, etc.). In the study of equilibria, it is more feasible to develop model representations that would greatly simplify and facilitate the computation and evaluation of certain properties of the system under consideration. In this work, acid-base interactions are presented in the form of equations based on mass action laws and those describing equilibrium processes, solvent ionic product, electroneutrality and material balance in electrolyte systems. The proposed equations consider the effect of the concentrations of all charged particles in the system (not only of hydrogen ions – pH) on the ionic strength of the solution, activity coefficients and, as a consequence, the thermodynamic dissociation constant. In addition, these equations allow the dependence between the equilibrium concentrations of all charged particles and the solution acidity determined by the potentiometric method to be expressed in convenient and objective logarithmic coordinates, thus facilitating estimation of the concentration of all particles at any moment of titration.

Experimental differences in densities Δd of aqueous NaCl–KBr mixtures at I = 1, 2, 3, and 4 mol kg−1 and at 298.15 K are reported from pure NaCl to pure KBr solutions. Mean apparent molar volumes [Formula: see text] are calculated and excess volumes of mixing [Formula: see text] are correlated by Friedman equation, Δd and [Formula: see text] are analysed in terms of recently developed the Pitzer formalism without and with mixing terms. Pitzer equations can estimate the densities of such mixtures with uncommon cations and anions within ±0.02% at the high ionic strength of 4 mol kg−1.

On the basis of the ionic strength dependence of the equilibrium constant (pK*) of thriethanolamine (TEA) and glycine, the ionic interaction parameters of the species involved in the equilibria TEAH+ ↔ TEA + H+ (for TEA), AH2+ ↔ AH + H+ and AH ↔ A- + H+ (for glycine) in aqueous solutions of KCl and KNO3, respectively, were determined using the Pitzer equations. Values of pK* were expressed on both the molarity and the molality scale at various temperatures and values of thermodynamic quantities ∆G0, ∆H0 and ∆S0 ascertained, for TEA.

The aqueous solubilities of La(OH)0.8(CO3)1.1.0.1 H2O, basic lanthanum carbonate of ancylite type, have been investigated as a function of ionic strength at 25.0 °C. The stoichiometric solubility constants defined by log* KIps0 = log [La3 +] + 1.1 log pCO2 - 3 log [H+] have the values 11.10, 11.32, 11.42, 11.63, and 11.70 for I = 0.1, 0.25, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mol kg -1(Na)ClO4 respectively. The extrapolation to infinite dilution using the Pitzer equations resulted in a "thermodynamic" solubility constant, log* K°pz0 = 10.48 ± 0.08. This in turn led to the Gibbs energy of ancylite formation: Δf G⊖298 {La(OH)0.8(CO3)1.1 · 0.1 H2O} = - 1.531.5 kJ mol-1.

Under a variety of electron microscope specimen preparation techniques different forms of chromatin appearance can be distinguished: beads-on-a-string, a 100 Å nucleofilament, a 250 Å fiber and a compact 300 to 500 Å fiber.Using a standardized specimen preparation technique we wanted to find out whether there is any relation between these different forms of chromatin or not. We show that with increasing ionic strength a chromatin fiber consisting of a row of nucleo- somes progressively folds up into a solenoid-like structure with a diameter of about 300 Å.For the preparation of chromatin for electron microscopy the avoidance of stretching artifacts during adsorption to the carbon supports is of utmost importance. The samples are fixed with 0.1% glutaraldehyde at 4°C for at least 12 hrs. The material was usually examined between 24 and 48 hrs after the onset of fixation.
