title: Dissociation constants of carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid.
abstract: The dissociation constants of carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid (CMOS) have been measured at 25 degrees and an ionic strength of 0.1M in sodium perchlorate. The values found were: pK(1) = 2.52, pK(2) = 3.77 and pK(3) = 5.00. CMOS is thus seen to be rather stronger than its isomer citric acid.
