THE REGULARITIES OF ELECTROLYTIC DISSOCIATION OF WEAK MONO-BASIC, DI-BASIC AND TRI-BASIC ORGANIC ACIDS CONTAINED IN HONEY
The original method suggested by authors for an analysis of the processes of electrolytic dissociation of weak multibasic organic acids was used for the calculation of the dissociation parameters of some dibasic and tribasic weak organic acids contained in honey. These acids include malic, succinic, tartaric and citric acids. The dissociation parameters of some monobasic, weak honey acids (gluconic, lactic and butyric acids) are also determined. The concentration intervals of predominance of various charged and uncharged substances in the diluted solutions of all above mentioned acids are established. The simple empirical equations for fast approximate calculation of the dissociation parameters are also suggested.
