Abstract
A rapid and convenient new technique is described to determine ionization volumes directly by means of dilatometry. In this method, acid and base solutions of appropriate strength are ‘stacked’ and mixed after an initial reading is made. Each solution is also treated similarly with solvent alone. The ionization volumes of water and of several weak acids and bases in water have been calculated from the data. They generally compare quite well with literature values determined by more elaborate means; several new results are also reported.

Hepleret al. have described a hybrid approach in which a dilatometer is used indirectly,i.e., by giving apparent molal volumes of electrolytes which can then be combined to give ionization volumes: L. G. Hepler, J. M. Stolus, and R. H. Stokes,Trans. Faraday Soc. 61, 20 (1965). This approach has been used for water [L. A. Dunn, R. H. Stokes, and L. G. Hepler,J. Phys. Chem. 69, 2808 (1965)], formic and acetic acid [E. J. King,J. Phys. Chem. 73, 1220 (1969)], and thiophenol [S. D. Hamann and M. Linton,J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans. I 70, 2239 (1974)].
