Abstract

Conductivity measurements of oxalic acid and neutral oxalates (disodium oxalate, dipotassium oxalate, dicesium, and diammonium oxalate) were performed on dilute aqueous solutions, c < 3 × 10-3 mol-dm -3, from 5 to 35°C. These data and those available from the literature were analyzed in terms of dissociation steps of oxalic acid, the Onsager conductivity equation for neutral oxalates, the Quint-Viallard conductivity equation for the acid, and the Debye-Hückel equation for activity coefficients, to give the limiting equivalent conductances of bioxalate anion λ (HC2O4 -) and oxalate anion λ(1/2C 2O42-) and the corresponding dissociation constants K1 and K2.
