On the dissociation equilibrium of high‐molecular weak electrolytes

Using the cellulose glycolic acid ethers of various etherification degrees as a sample of high‐molecular weak electrolytes, investigations were carried out on some problems on the dissociation equilibrium, such as the influence of sample concentration, distribution density of electrolyte radicals, the salt effect, and the effect of neutralization reagents. The experimental data were treated by means of the modified Kern's dissociation formula (1) and Kagawa's formula (2). The results obtained were discussed with Kagawa's opinion on the fixation of counterions.
