In acetic acid at 105.7� acetamidium perchlorate has an ionic association constant KA = 0.0491 x 106 l. mole-1, a limiting equivalent conductivity A, = 79.4 cm2 Ω-1 equiv.-1, and a centre-to-centre distance between the ions � = 4.67 Ǻ. The acid-base equilibrium constant for acetamidium acetate KB = [ΣNH3Ac+ OAc-]/ [NH2Ac] increases slightly with increasing dielectric constant.

In aqueous acetic acid, 0.114-0.152M H2O, at 105.7�, oxonium perchlorate has limiting equivalent conductivity Λ0 90.7, ionic association constant KA = [H3O+ClO4-]/[H3O+][ClO4]f2 = 0.0310 x 106 and centre-to-centre distance between the ions (� = 4.84 Ǻ. The acid-base equilibrium constant for oxonium acetate KB = [ΣH3O+ OAc-]/[H2O] increases with the dielectric constant so that -log KB = 1.532+29.44/D. The autoprotolysis of acetic acid also increases with the dielectric constant.

Constipation is a common condition that occurs in many people worldwide. While magnesium oxide (MgO) is often used as the first-line drug for chronic constipation in Japan, dietary fiber intake is also recommended. Dietary fiber is fermented by microbiota to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs are involved in regulating systemic physiological functions and circadian rhythm. We examined the effect of combining MgO and the water-soluble dietary fiber, inulin, on cecal SCFA concentration and microbiota in mice. We also examined the MgO administration timing effect on cecal SCFAs. The cecal SCFA concentrations were measured by gas chromatography, and the microbiota was determined using next-generation sequencing. Inulin intake decreased cecal pH and increased cecal SCFA concentrations while combining MgO increased the cecal pH lowered by inulin and decreased the cecal SCFA concentrations elevated by inulin. When inulin and MgO were combined, significant changes in the microbiota composition were observed compared with inulin alone. The MgO effect on the cecal acetic acid concentration was less when administered at ZT12 than at ZT0. In conclusion, this study suggests that MgO affects cecal SCFA and microbiota during inulin feeding, and the effect on acetic acid concentration is time-dependent.
