Abstract
ABSTRACT A spectral deconvolution method based on target factor analysis has been developed to determine pKa values of binary mixtures of monoprotic and/or diprotic ionizable compounds. The technique makes use of the approach of Frans and Harris, which has been implemented previously for mixtures of monoprotic compounds (Anal. Chem. 1985, 57, 1718-1721), to extract the unknown pKa values. The method has been illustrated by using the multiwavelength spectrophotometrictitation data of binary mixtures of: I. benzoic acid and phenol, 2. benzoic acid and nicotinic acid, 3. p-aminosalicylic acid and phthalic acid. It was demonstrated that the pKa values as determined in this study are in good agreement with the literature.
