Abstract

Conductometric titrations of a series of organic acids in 2-methoxyethanol were performed with 1,3-diphenylguanidine (DPG) as titrant. For benzoic, p-chlorobenzoic and picric acids, phenylphenol and barbital, excellent recoveries were obtained from well-defined conductance vs. volume plots. Results for the dicarboxylic phthalic and adipic acids were also good. However, the titration curves for the difunctional salicylic and p-hydroxybenzoic acids were not clearly defined. The results are discussed and compared with cnductometric titrations of acids in other non-aqueous solvents. Several determinations of electrolyte conductance as a function of concentration revealed that, as expected, the selected substances are weak electrolytes in methoxyethanol.
