Abstract
The first and second molal dissociation quotients of succinic acid were measured potentiometrically with a hydrogen-electrode, concentration cell. These measurements were carried out from 0 to 225"C over 25 ° intervals at five ionic strengths ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 molal (NaCl). The dissociation quotients from this and two other studies were combined and treated with empirical equations to yield the following thermodynamic quantities for the first acid dissociation equilibrium at 25°C: logK1a = -4.210±0.003; Δ H1̊a = 2.9±0.2 kJ-mol - 1 ; ΔS1̊a = -71±1 J-mol - 1 -K -1; and ΔCp̊,1a = -98±3 J-mol -1 -K -1; and for the second acid dissociation equilibrium at 25°C: logK2a = -5.638±0.001; ΔHå = -0.5±0.1 kJ-mol -1 ; ΔS2̊a = -109.7±0.4 J-mol -1 -K -1; and ΔCp̊,2a = -215±8 J-mol-1-K-1.
