| Abstract | Dissociation constants for acetic, benzoic, mandelic and succinic acids have been measured at 298.15 K as a function of pressure up to 138.8 MPa. The spectrophotometric technique using Bromocresol Green as the optical indicator was employed up to ionic strength of 0.03 mol kg(-1) in aqueous solution. Thermodynamic dissociation constants were calculated with the Davies activity coefficient equation. The pressure dependences of the ionization constants for the weak acids can be described by the equation of Lown, Thirsk and Wynne-Jones, application of which leads to accurate partial molal volume change on ionization, Delta(V) over bar (o) and compressibility change, Delta(K) over bar (o) at 0.1 MPa.
