The ionization constant, K, of trans-crotonic acid, and the first and second ionization constants, K1 and K2, of adipic acid have been determined in water at seven different temperatures ranging from 15 to 45 °C with the help of the cells without liquid junction using silver – silver chloride and quinhydrone electrodes. The variations of pK, pK1, and pK2 with temperature have been expressed by the equations[Formula: see text]and[Formula: see text]From the temperature coefficient of the ionization constants, the standard enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs energy, and heat capacity changes of the corresponding dissociation processes have been calculated. Using the values of ionization constants of adipic acid, the standard potential of the Ag(s)/Ag2Ad(s)/Ad2− electrode, and the related standard thermodynamic quantities for the electrode process[Formula: see text]have been calculated in water at those temperatures.
