title: AMPHOTERIC BEHAVIOR OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS : IV. NOTE ON THE ISOELECTRIC POINT AND IONIZATION CONSTANTS OF SULFANILIC ACID.
abstract: From the solubility minimum the value of the basic ionization constant of sulfanilic acid is shown to lie probably between the values 1.7 x 10(-15) and 3.2 x 10(-15). From solubility measurements the value of this same constant is shown to lie probably between 2.0 and 2.2 x 10(-15), and the isoelectric point of sulfanilic acid is thus at a cH of 0.056 or a pH of 1.25. From conductivity ratios the acid ionization constant of sulfanilic acid is shown to be 7.05 x 10(-4) at room temperature (21 degrees C.). Calculations are made, from data published in preceding papers, of the ionization constants of glycine, K(a) being 2.3 x 10(-10), and K(b) being 2.2 x 10(-12).
