Abstract

<jats:p>The H_ acidity function has
been determined for solutions of sodium and lithium glycollates in ethylene and
propylene glycols with a series of nitrodiphenyl-amines as indicators. The
validity of the H_ function has been established in basic solutions of ethylene
glycol but not in propylene glycol. Equilibrium constants have been reported
for the ionization of some nitrodiphenylamines in basic solutions of the two
glycols.
