Abstract
The absorption spectra of monohydroxybenzene (Fen), 1,3-dihydroxybenzene (Rez), 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (Hi), 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene (Pg) and 1,3,5-trihydroxy-benzene (Fg) in aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid with different values of the Hammett acidity function(H0) have two absorption bands in the region between 190-220 nm and 260-290 nm. This behavior is similar in another mineral acids (H2SO4, H3PO4, HClO4). The absorbance decreases with increasing of acidity (with decreasing of H0 values) because of O-protonation. The absorption maxima shift to longer wave-lengths, and the graphic dependence of the absorption of the second band as a function of H0 gives characteristic S-curves. These curves show the different effect of the acid on the form the protonation of the investigated hydroxybenzenes. The potonation constants of the hydroxybenzenes were calculated: pKFen=-1.95; pKRez=-2.40; pKHi= -1.93; pKPg=-2.95; pKFg=-1.83.
