Conductance, potentiometric, and spectrophotometric measurements have been made at 25°C of aqueous solution containing sulfanilic, hippuric, mandelic, and 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acids at different concentrations. Conductance data were analyzed using the methods of Fuoss-Kraus, Kraus-Parker, and Shedlovsky for conductivity of the free ions. Using the calculated limiting conductances, activity coefficients, and degrees of dissociation, the dissociation constants of the weak acids were determined. From plots Δ vs c1/2, reliable values for Δ0 were estimated, using a computer program, and by means of an iterative method the proper value of Δ0 was determined, independently of that initially introduced. Values of pK were also obtained from potentiometric and spectrophotometric measurements. Evidence for the existence of univalent and divalent ions in aqueous solutions of 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid was obtained spectrophotometrically, this fact justifying the poorer results provided by conductance measurements.

Abstract. Although reactive halogen species (X*=X●, ●X2−, X2 and HOX, where X=Br, Cl, or I) are important environmental oxidants, relatively little is known about their kinetics in condensed phases such as seawater and sea-salt particles. Here we describe a new technique to determine reactive chlorine and bromine species in aqueous solutions by using allyl alcohol (CH2=CHCH2OH) as a chemical probe. This probe is combined with competition kinetics in order to determine steady state concentrations of X*(aq). In some cases the technique also can be used to determine the rates of formation and lifetimes of X* in aqueous solution. In a companion paper we reported the results of our method development for aqueous solutions containing only bromide (Br−). In this paper, we discuss method development for solutions containing chloride (Cl−) alone, and for solutions containing both bromide and chloride.

A new sensing membrane is proposed for the determination of Fe3+ over other common metal ions in an aqueous solution based on the quenching of the fluorescence intensity of the membrane by Fe3+. The fluorescence intensity of the membrane showed distinct changes towards Fe3+ with fast response, satisfactory stability and excellent sensitivity.
