Abstract
Using a rotating disc electrode, the dissociation rate of acetic acid in various aqueous electrolyte solutions is studied. Li+ , Cs+ and (CH3)4N+ at 1 M concentration considerably modify the activation enthalpy and entropy of the reaction. Evidently the interaction between the cations and water influences the dissociation mechanism of the weak acid. In the presence of 1 molar Li+ the activated complex of acetic acid seems to contain only one water molecule instead of two in the other cases.
