Notes:
A technique using buffer capacity has been developed for evaluating the approximate pK values of the stability constant K, of polyelectrolytes. The technique has been applied to hemicellulose extracted from woodpulp (pK ≈ 3,9 (0,1 M NaCl)) and dextran (pK = 13,55 ± 0,2 (2 M NaCl)). Verification of the method has been obtained by applying it to acetic acid (pK = 4,55 ± 0,02 (0,1 M NaCl), pK = 4,70 ± 0,02 (0,001 M NaCl)) and glucose (pK = 12,00 ± 0,05 (2 M NaCl)). Glucose was found to turn peppermint green in NaOH solutions. At least 50% of the surface charge of woodpulp was found to originate from its hemicellulose coating.
