Abstract
pK Values of carboxylic acids have been measured in mixtures water-organic solvent and confronted with the Born equation. Solubilities of benzoic acid have been measured. From the pK and solubilities found the ΔGt0(C6H5COO-) values have been calculated for various two-component solvents. The results agree with the idea that the ion transfer into another medium is affected not only by electrostatic, but also by non-electrostatic forces.
