Abstract
Ferrocyanide ion behaves as a tetravalent Brønsted base and can react with four protons, forming ferrocyanic acid. By potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques it is shown that the first two protonation equilibria overlap, as do the third and fourth equilibria. The two techniques yield identical results when processed with the inclusion of non-ideality terms. The method of "separation of equilibria" is proposed to allow separate study of each of the overlapping equilibria. Values of pK1 = −2.54 ± 0.10, pK2 = −1.08 ± 0.03, pK3 = 2.65 ± 0.02, and pK4 = 4.19 ± 0.02 were obtained.
