The formation constant β(NaOx−) of the extremely weak ion pair formed between sodium (Na+) and oxalate (Ox2−) ions in aqueous solutions has been determined at 25°C as a function of ionic strength in tetramethylammonium chloride by Na+ ion-selective electrode potentiometry. The effects of trace Na+ impurities from all reagents were accounted for. An extrapolated value for β o of 6.6 ± 0.5 M−1 was obtained at infinite dilution, which is in good agreement with literature values. Attempts to measure this constant in 1 M CsCl media gave a β(NaOx−) value of 0.00 ± 0.06 M−1, probably because of competition between Cs+ and Na+ for Ox2−.
