acid. The isotachopherograms were measured I day after the preparation of the sample<br />

solutions.<br />

pK measurements on oxalic acid showed the disappearance of one pK step during the<br />

time involved. A fresh solution gave two pK values, while a 2-day-old solution gave only<br />

one. A large proportion of the methanol in the solutions of oxalic acid in methanol was<br />

evaporated off and, after the subsequent addition of water, the resulting solution was also<br />

measured in an aqueous operational system. Here the products of the old methanolic<br />

solution gave a higher step height than normal, while the product from the fresh<br />

methanolic solution gave the normal step height of oxalic acid in water. Old solutions<br />

of oxalic acid in methanol gave, after several hours in water, two step heights, but after<br />

about 1 day they gave only one step height (the normal step height of oxalic acid). It can<br />

be concluded from these experiments that oxalic acid undergoes spontaneous conversion<br />

into its monoester in methanolic solutions. Other dicarboxylic acids showed similar<br />

effects, but on a smaller scale.<br />

Dicarboxylic acids such as dihydroxymaleic acid showed a large number of step heights<br />

and it is clear that the analyses of such substances will be difficult. In Fig.16.2, the
