Abstract
The thermodynamic pK value of picric acid was determined spectrophotometrically in water containing hydrochloric acid to repress the ionization. The pK value 0.33 (K ≈ 0.46) was obtained from data at 450 mμ. Attempts to determine the pK value by potentiometric titrations of picric acid and by spectrophotometric measurements of picric acid solutions in the near-saturation range did not yield satisfactory results. The new pK value is compared with previously published values.
