Autoprotolysis Constants in Nonaqueous Solvents and Aqueous Organic Solvent Mixtures

Abstract

The recent IUPAC document on standardization of pH measurements in nonaqueous solvents and aqueous-organic solvent mixtures (P.A.C. 57 865 (1985)) underlines the importance of the autoprotolysis constant, K, which defines the normal range of pH in the relevant solvent. The recommended e.m.f. method of determination and the standard states implied by different K definitions are duly focused. This compilation is articulated in two Tables the first of which reports K data for 100% pure solvents mostly at 298.15 K and the other concerns binary aqueous-organic mixtures of different compositions and at various temperatures. © 1987 IUPAC
