Abstract
Equations which describe the distribution of carboxylic acids between water and nonpolar organic solvents, and which make allowance for their dimerization in the organic solvent, their association with water molecules, and the nonideal nature of the organic phase, have been examined. It has been shown that it is necessary to study the distribution of the carboxylic acid and water between the phases in order to determine the constants for the distribution, hydration, and dimerization of the carboxylic acids.
